You have a seriously large serial number on there bows as in America on boats We yachts have a sail number as I.d then they will stay away from us so we can’t read the number to complain. And that’s all we want

Km Is right with the strength of the rope to chain link v the eye splice I used to shudder looking at those three strands around that link , I just payes to keep an eye on it

BP I had the same prob with the princess oven a needle was winner and clear the jet then the flicker had dislodged its self maby through cleaning but all good now

Yes native that’s what we want if it doesn’t sink in that others have to put up with the bad wash of these boats because most of the skippers of these boats do t have a clue what they are doing. They are not boating people they don’t care and don’t want to know , most have never done any safety training or seamanship corses they only want to go fishing or tow there kids around anchorages ,, I used the words ,,most , and some , but not all , as the ones who do respect the others we wave thanks

Very dark colours to be seen under water on the keel rudder

I see the rules want these kids to ware helmets

Three trumpets at ripples at Xmas for the grandkids was $23 nearly fell over

Is that every 4 years like the whangeri noumea of old

It all depends where you are on the water , boat helps but position on water is it , Spencer boats are fast especially down wind I sailed sailent reciently and man crack sheets and hang on they fly ,

Try beta marine uk look at ther stock for canal boats there priced right compared to this place

I brought an English marinised motor for my boat. Some of the motors I saw in the factory in England while I was there were set up for the canal boats same block but beautyfull painted and polished brass fittings , some steel parts dipped and polished on brass or bronze I was told they were for canal boats

Well maby a Roberts , but the rig is way back like a Spencer much like whispers , Spencer designed a boat and didnt know where to put the mast so it went in the middle , ha ha Good looking boat I was it come in on Monday ish

BP I think that another Spencer

Good looking boat is it in strife

Anchored island time

Thanks that’s what I have and cockpit light that will do thanks subject closed

After reading about anchor lighting before annerversery weekend I went to maharangi for few days , a few mates up there and one said to me , you don’t have correct lighting , I don’t want to start this one off again so keep it short , I have a mast head light , I have cockpit light I that all I need , most only had mast lights , well

Seems like we are getting forced out of boating , marina prices putting buyers off , councls wanting no moorings, a worm that fans taking over , and Mother Nature won’t be nice so we can go boating , it’s not easy

It doesn’t look abandoned, it’s maby someone’s home who doesn’t sail it

Stick to the basic problem fuel line let air in , replace , bleed hole system , filters , injectors, and lines and should go

It’s on my marina I keep using a spade to clean ,

Have a look a time the Alado furler. Just fitted one my self and perfect , can demo if needed , simple , no bearings ,no head swivel off halyard to lock up , have a look

Strong looking unit. Wouldn’t mind on myself I knotice my autohelm over Xmas was very hot some days , so I layed a damp rag over it to cool it Weather didn’t help but never missed a beat. But these look great ,

Yes they do get good weather reports ,my brother in law is away cruising as we talk , he does the sounds every year leaving from mana for several weeks , last reports in transit all’s we’ll talk soon , sailing West Coast South Island in his lotus 9.2 zingara We usually get updates each day ,

I have a gas cabin heater old but never used if some one is after one
