Interesting topic. Recently anchored in Mansion house at Kawau there was a yacht that when the wind swung was incredibly close to the rocks between mansion house and two house bay, when the breeze kicked in it either dragged or straightened out its chain and was seriously lucky not to be on the rocks. - No owners to be seen, boats in the bay kicking off horns etc to draw some attention from owners. A RIB from a Riviera went over and tried to tow it to safety, but wasnt having much luck and lacked the towing power/ weight to pull it. Luckily they held it off long enough for owners to arriv

Doesnt even look like there is a genoa on that furler...

i think they were out to be re-profiled or have work done to them - they hadnt removed them with the intent on ditching them.

Hey Josh - give Ant Robinson a call otherwise - he has a nice Iridium phone for Bullrush that im sure you can twist his arm for

Yeah or Insulation Tape...

Oh Goody! We have just be advised that Motokorea Buoy is also missing - someone wants to make our life harder! Anyhow please see amendment 2 - replacing Motokorea Buoy with a Laid mark in the vicinity of Motokorea for the start and finish mark for this sundays race.

Hi Guys Have spoken with harbour master and mark is still missing so... Amendment attached for this Sundays course - replacing Northern Leading Buoy with Rangitoto Race Marker. Hope you all have a great race, and will see you at the club for a beer after. Cheers Marshy Single Handed Ammendment 1 2017.pdf

Always wondered how long the lady prod option would last booboo - new one looks awesome!

Rest assured whatever the forecast is now, you wont get. Its always funny watching a week out southerlies forecast, and whatever they say you will see 10 days out you normally get the opposite My vote on line is the mighty V5!

For an outboard that size i would have thought it could start off the house battery if it has decent capacity. Its not a huge load to start it. Rather than the complexity of a second battery i would run with it off the house battery and keep a charged up "Jump Starter" on the boat you can kick it with if needed - far simpler for the few times you need it. And if your going to put in another battery why not just make the house bank big enough that you wont run it too flat for the small amount needed to start the little outboard motor... And when cruising a boat that doesnt have massive charge

Awesome - good to hear

Depends what marina. Every one is different.

Dates for the BBYC Portion of the event here...

HMB rates just gone up too. i suspect the marina's have been talking... $630 for a 10.5m,

Nope the proper dark side... Launch. Goes well to windward 18knots vmg...

http://www.bumper.co.nz/ These guys are awesome. Paul who owns it owns Young Rebel the Y11 at BBYC and is a good sort.

Awesome! We have had a few 88's enter already too which is good. Im playing host boat for the weekend away so it should be a good party

Its almost time for the 2016/17 Allvo Marine BBYC 2 Handed Series. A 3 race series involving a "shakedown" sail pre-christmas around Rangitoto on 30th October. And a weekend away in March right about when the missus has had enough of cruising with the kids, and its time for a weekend with a mate! (or wife and no kids!). Friday 3rd March night race out to a bay, BBQ breakfast and return race Saturday 4th March leaving time to mow the lawns and recover on Sunday! This year is looking bigger and better than ever and we would like to invite you to join. Notice of Race attached. NOR -

New stink boat has a Manson Supreme, have been cruising with people who had them for years and always heard good things but never bothered to change. Went out last Tuesday and anchored in Motuihe channel - 15knot northerly and a bit of chop. Anchor went down, probably not enough chain to be honest, but the thing bit straight away - was seriously supprised. Spent the arvo tinkering around for fish and anchored probably 6 times in different depths and bottom composition, and never had a problem at all. Thats a vindex 350 with plenty of windage, and a 25lb Supreme... Pretty impressed.

Yeah the Young boat is a pretty good option...

Thanks Team, i bit the bullet and stuck in teh BEP Unit with sensors and switch for solenoid. Happy with it - just gotta ignore the bill Yes found out the bypass bit so thats easy... And keep the old regulator on board too - have had the solenoid die before and it made for a cold night cooking dinner on the BBQ in the pouring rain!

Cool thanks team - BEP it is. Do you guys run the model with the sensor and the switch in the control panel? or just the switch? The yacht had a sniffer and switch in one panel... So think thats the way.

Nothing wrong with it - about to buy one, but just wanted to check if there was any different models. We had a different one on the 88 and i wouldnt have a boat without one - using the bottle your likely to leave it on...
