Looking for a Navman 5500 power cable any body think they may have one it’s a 8 pin plug into the set Push ,turn type I don’t use it much but has its own aerial and handy as a back up
-
Ours doesnt last long enough , but if we look at like this ,,it goes into the fridge for about an hour and a half ,,, fridge uses 4.5 amps an hour plus 2 amps for the half hour = cold enough , at 6 amps simple drink up

Yes the. 50 mtr rule was not contested and should be ,,I don’t fathom what kind of person introduced this obvious not a boating person , or one with any logic in this world , we boaties should all get together and protest the rule as being highly dangerous, imagine the bow wake from a 100 tonne ship passing 50 mtrs away , they even slow down ,in courtesy to others ,

Sail makers don’t have canceled orders sanfran , it’s to expensive ,most sail makers take a healthy deposit before cutting cloth

Island time thanks , fitted today and works a treat , once the tail comes out of the cleat I just tailed off around the drum , it’s staying on the furler So sowed a leather cover around the halyardand down over the top sheath to protect the foil ,very tidy and the two two one purchase is adequate. Will head out for a sail to test tomorrow I used 8 mill braid and goestight in the cleat clam well Thanks again all
-
Ok I found the lazer vang pullies and am splicing through the braid now thanks island time for your input and photos and the others help. ,two heads are better than one thanks
-
I’ve come to the right place. Yess Your onto it thanks You must have the cut halyard so as not to have all the halyard to stow once sail is up
-
Ok does the pull have a cleat in the sidesforhalyard to fasten into
-
Island time can you link the systerm you use. The cleat seems biggish mysail tack is In the drum with a pin through and the head is close to the pullies up top ,
-
Ok seen it , maby. The only thing is it needs to roll up in the when rolled home inside the sail
-
The laser kicker block ,I have 8 mill halyard on a 11 mtr haul I will search it
-
Idears please , I and a mate have put on the Alado furlers , fantastic , best systerm I have used , best quality. Easy to fit , no fuss. They have a pulley top and bottom for there own halyard , so no mast halyards getting twisted , or top fitting binding up causing probs So we haul the sail , wetie a hitch in the line to tension the luff , tie off the excesshalyard Bingo , so what other way can we tension the halyard Thoughts I have had , two to one block systerm , hifield type of lever on the foil , what else ,simple , is there So the halyard comes down the foil sail is up and through the base fitting , the. Tension , how , mor heads are better than one

It’s now a proaha boat but didinot stand up to sail
-
We don’t want to get carried away picking about kids having fun , but out on the water , they could move the markers Further away to allow some boats to anchor for a while , maby or as they do in the USA Lane the fiz boats
-
I was anchored in arkles for a few hours today Tidying up cleaning and just pottering as we do , skiboat raws past towing a kid on a blowup , then a jet ski raws past towing the same , both only meters away , i raw down stairs to save the sausages on the pan , then they turn and head back , Then another one just launched prepares to do the same , , now there’s is three of them all towing there kids ,the boom is going nuts , the sausages had to be turned off so pull pick and moved the water was to lumpy , can’t these tosses learn to go out of the bay and do there towing thing further out , there was another yacht on the other end of arkles anchored ,flopping about , the low speed bouys should be set further out , not 200 mtrs off shore 400 to keep these types out further ,one of these type of boaties in a bay can wreck for all , maby council should sit down and rethink this bouy thing through for all ,great day good wind ,good sail , saussies were ok

Just use your common sence with everything , or the what should I do if , , ,, it’s camping on water , take food water for the time afloat. , take spares , battery’s it goes on common sence with everything , remember you can’t duck off to the shop your on water , take what you need
-
The photos look bigger than a 1/2 tonner inside , same era as my boat , a little tumblehone , fat at the bulkhead , fine in the entry , good to watch your progress

Teak oil or brywax is much the same I have brought both they are kind of a varnish , need time to dry , befor recoating if you use housing oil you will be doing it again soon , I binned the timber rails and had them made in stainless and there lies the end of the subject most of the housing oils can’t handle the weather , sail , and most of all teak hates foreign oils most of the time they go black after oiled in time

Just had my jib changed to fit a furler ,we t to Dennis Conway in mainly , great job , priced well below what I thought , sail fits well and sets better than it did on Hanks , so going to get him to make me a new working jib next year , give him a try
