Hi wheels thanks. That winch is biggish my boat is 31 ft but I do overkill everything That's why I have 15 mill warp , I like that size it's easy to handle

It looks like the Muir can do rope and chain or could do rope , and is small

Hi Erica yes In those waters not a prob I am not past it totally But the other day in tiri passage nearly killed me. That winch looks good I am interested

At 60 I have always pulled my own anchor , brought up being told , if you can't haul your own anchor and main sll , sell your boat son , so dads gone , and the bloody anchor is getting heavier , so I am after a winch that can do it , should I get a capstan or one of the fancy through deck models , I have 15 mill warp 8 mill chain about a boat and a half , do the winch capstan style work , I need comments , this a serious matter

Doesn't matter how good he is as a sailor it's up to the boat , can it stay afloat , was it lashed together like the warrams. Cats are , can it handle 40 kts on the nose in 4 mtr swell an still sail , a lot of factors to weigh up stupid move on all accounts

Yes say grant refers thanks

Find details dial up the cover man whanganui

Not advertising for any body , but I have to have a say. I priced around for new Bimini cover , the prices were horrendous. So I quised a guy in whanganui the cover man , sent the cover down in a post office $10 box . And back it came , what a beautfull job I cannot get over the Finnish The tidy neat cover , and it fitted perfectly, I sent the lee cloths down to be restricted and refurbished they came back the same like new , so the boom sock followed and that was the same , total saving over half the other quotes in total , just shows you there is realistic folk out there

It's great to see the response team rush out there and offer assistance,

Any body have any update on the single handed who hit a container and broke his boat , the news showed massive fracture around the hull and water inside. Heading to bluff in the next few hours , hope he makes it , boat looks like a rightoff

Strath , have tried but no one replays

Hi k38 thanks

Check out the Alado , price good. ,and no bearings to stuff up and you can fit it in a couple of hours , there's a post on them asi waswantingone afterxmas

Island time yes many times and so reply

Hi island time yes I agree I am trying to make them contact me there phone number no body calls back from messages sent I am trying to find a berth owner

No the Marina accoaciation I am trying to find a Marina owner to buy , the gh office won't give out private information nor seem to pass it on to the owner so want to try the Marina owners acc to see if they talk , but no body does

Do these people exist , I have left several messages to the gulf harbour bunch , and no reply , nothing , are the noncontactable

You don't know if there any good till you need to use it

Good story why didn't they try to head the yacht to calmer waters , , sail it , sounds like the skipper was over come , or tow it maby. Good story makes you wonder , how good is my boat , is it strong enough What would it be like in these conditions on my own , I would be ok iam sure as Long as the wet gear is good and it can handle the weather , I have been caught in 60 kts up the bum two up and both could steer well so reducing sail was a breeze , we found zig zagging was the best way to steer and keeped us dry and the boat moving fast , no headsail, two deep reefs and she was going wild ,

Hi Shane just launch it and be prepared Buckets sponges builge pumps , I caulked my 100 year old mullet boat years ago , and just a few drops came in some are tight planked and stay that way some are timber swells quick so don't worry to much , you may have to stay the night on her just to monitor the drips Alls good

Yes but what really gets up my nose is this weed was brought in by foreign boats , ships every day of the week anchor off rangi , these boats introduce this crap what lives in the hull outlets crawls out and onto the sea floor the councils need to get off there chuff and every ship gets as checked over , no different to what they are enforcing us little boaties to do at our cost once again we pay , just Sh,,t , nobody is out there eradicating this problem daily from any of the authority's , have you seen them , no , gulf harbour has a fast growing weed , nobody is scraping it off collecting

With the Alado furler my existing jib is Hank to wire fix ,, the foot is down on deck say 6 inches above will I need the foot trimmed to compansate the drum , I see guys are using kiwi slide replace Hank's then will one if leaving on full time need the cover strip a fixed to the gib , or some just take it off and bag it thanks

Thankyou I will call

Hi iam at gulfharbour may I see it some time. Thanks , I can't work out how one tensions the halyard , I see it goes over the top of the furler head then where ,

Any body tried the Alado furler advertised on trade me , self fitting , easy to do ,sounds good $1500 od
