The correct sanitary pipes are a must I have learned the hard way as some will still , the clear pipe will start inverting or sucking inwards after a few weeks I found the clips bit into the plastic , and bends were not even , buy the real stuff ,

So you were not far from land couldn’t the boat make it or did they not allow you to make the desition to carry on in contact ,

Crazyhorse crc don’t make it , they used to do a griptred some years ago but rules and safety crap stoped them. The product is tredgrip rubberised non slip coating from A&I coatings I have a gallon here as back up , just clean off roll three coats on , drys fast so you can do two in a day I will try to send a pic

I used a&1 coatings tredgrip , made in Aussie and looks good lasts years the ,the last Paint was griptred from crc , lasted 17 years So the closed I cou,d find was the trendgrip , been on 2 years now and looks like yesterday was layed , water base Not mush preparation needed except a good wash Way you go Cheep used on tennis courts , steps , and non skid areas touch , 12 colours or tint your own ,

This is New Zealand welcome any time come with a clean boat crazy

That’s just a rotten tree somebody’s jumped to conclusion

Soon as the resistance drops the alternator kicks in ,as the fridge drinks juice the alternator bumps it back

Dump it into the cockpit

Your thinned expoxie is the best deal and hell out of the area. Fashion a new breast hook and glue it down with the same expoxie and a little powder to hold in in place glue and screw clean up .

Ever dure is a waist of time it’s changed from what it was , so thin your own resin very thin and saturate the hole area a couple of times , keep pouring it in till it won’t take any more and reuse with ply and do the same and glass over ,

With there keel config and mast head rig is a hard one , maby the first thing to do is up the boom length and cut down the jibs to just over lap the mast a foot or two , the main is the thing to work on with these boats Generating power , it’s a head sail power boat , main stable , , a fully battened , tension batton , roach main would help with a wide headboard , my boat was same large over lap headsails, on a fractional rig , I started with a new main and generated speed and all the jibs just lap the mast , totally different boat very quick in a blow and in 5 kts just heal it and off it g

Well Km your ready to go

Usually gauge them to 5 thou ish all round ,I did my own and the engine room offered advice to help out ,

Do you know how much room they take up in the boat de flated I veseen these bags and there big

From England I had to take out the canister to nz I don’t know why and didn’t want to hassle them maby the ones under the seats we can’t reach till an emergency , I didn’t argue

I had the same on return from England doing a stint on gipsy moth 1V around the Solent the inflatable Life jacket at customs I had the remove the gas canister from the jacket and leave it , wich didn’t worry me , but when I do the next moth trip I will buy one up there , at cowes,

We have a very good freezer, in fact to good , so she found a chunk of polystyrene layed over the frozen stuff leaves the top half for the fridge area. Works well ,but if you have a enough room you can fit a door on the side of the freezer box leaving a thin layer of the freezer wall between to to the cooling and that works. But finding a fridge door. ,or having one made is an issue

Can’t you rent them

If it’s a Bukh tie a chain around it and ,leave it in your favourite bay to anchor off next your there .

What about a cracked liner let’s oil into the sump I had a Bukh 20 in a townson That used to lock up sometimes on start up , took the head off Mew casket planed the head ,all back together A week later same prob . Sold the boat problem gone ,

He’s mad on thoes days the weather was better. Not now it’s un predictable and I think swirly is a bit tired

Sail it back and say nothing

Replaced the back stay tensioner rope , The Inner core had parted and I knoticed it was getting longer , so may have saved the mast

The two main designers here that had supplied sailors and launch types in this country , and take a walk down most marinas you will see there boats are Wright and Pelin not for getting some others , young but production was minimal and these boats are holding up well today

We are not competitive , ott ruled , ott taxed , ott governed , this governing body makes it to hard , it can’t happen
