Weatherbeaten

Look at that eh! No new law required!

Kevin, how about you worry about your friends and family and we'll worry about ours mate - you know - a bit of personal responsibility? This law making to accommodate the lowest common denominator just doesn't work. It erodes the liberties and enjoyment of the people who don't need the law but comply with it because they're good citizens, and does nothing to improve the safety of those reckless and irresponsible people who won't comply with the law intended to protect them from themselves anyway. Do you honestly think there are people in NZ who don't know that they should wear lifejac

So does the post in this thread (http://crew.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic/10664-westhaven-pile-moorings/?p=140774) saying we can tie up on Y after races stand? And does it apply before races too?

Hi Westhaven, the times we've had trouble have been before and after races i.e. Richmond Winter Series etc. Although I've just been told that you've already said we can tie up on Y after races in another thread (http://crew.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic/10664-westhaven-pile-moorings/?p=140774). If this applied before races too it would sort the problems we've had so far. I do wonder how the smaller loading docks will go on a Friday night before a long weekend etc as well though.

Thanks for the reply Westhaven. I'm not sure I'd classify "tough luck, you're only on the piles and we can make money off selling fuel" as a great response from the point of view of those of us not lucky enough to be able to afford a full berth, but at least it is a response and we know where we stand. I could even understand moving people on when the fuel dock is busy or there's a boat waiting to berth for the night, but to police it when there are no other boats in sight and the loading zones are full is pedantry. I realise the piles are unserviced - we don't get power or water or w

Agree with everyone’s comments on the tags. How about the removal of the large loading zone on X that they removed to build the new berths, and instead of reinstating a similar area on Y, replaced with two silly little loading zones on V and W? And don’t even think about trying to use that area on Y as a loading zone – that’s now a fuel berth. They’ll kick you off there quick-smart, citing the possibility that someone might need to access the fuel pumps, even with no vessels in sight and about 140m of open fuel jetty sitting unused. Too much effort going into building walkways costin
