I don't know the background to the above decision so won't comment on that but the following comment does relate to this race as well.
I've been away for a while ... What decision?
-
Webasto.
Great little heater, simple and reliable.
I have had Ebespacher and had to get someone in to re-set it as if it fails to start 5 times in a row it goes into lockdown mode - I replaced the fuel filter and didn't bleed it properly.
-
Can you also post the SI's and course?
-
This is rediculous. Did the explain why? As in, what trouble it may cause?
New rules... must admit I thought the ebox was the way to go for small boats as they are very safe.
Mine is a Jackson one that they use on building sites ... unattended building sites too ... not sure how that works if our rules are the same as theirs.
-
I called up Beacon (they were very helpful) and to get an ewof for Deeds I need to have the boat out of the water to fit an through hull (both hulls?!) earthing strap, fit a 240v plug, shore power plug and fitted ebox thingy..
As I am on the boat a lot I'll just leave the shore power lead ready to plug in when I am down there.
-
Yep, I just confirmed with them that I am not allowed to use my expensive ebox anymore.... well I can use it if I am on the boat but I can't leave it.

I think we need a Baoties Action Group to address these issues.
Are AYBA or YNZ doing anything?
-
I am planning on jumping in the water if I get stopped!Question is are you allowed to swim alongside a dinghy without life jackets in it?Are you allowed to then get back into the dinghy?The HM was checking at Kawau last weekend.

Thanks Bryon.
-
Thanks, I did find that...
I forgot that the solo series is just a tack on to other races.
I was expecting something like last year: www.soloiq.org.nz/
Just found the NOR for the Harbour Race on Sunday.
-
Thought I would do the solo series this year after seeing all the guys out last year.
Looked really wall organised, website, distinctive shirts, BBQs etc ...
Now I can't even seem to find what is happening for the race this Sunday.
Am I looking in the wrong place? Have I been left off a mailing list?
Anyone got any info?
-
think i heard
that that video
helped Simon make up his mind to buy her
but i think she's left the country on a 1 way trip...
which is why it'll be extra nice
to see the rapido here
how
come
you
use
so
many
carriage returns?
-
Good point, how about picking out a few Wednesday nights to count as a mini series?
-
Correction just FYI
SSANZ requires you to carry a tether on a multi at all times
Completely upto you if your attach all, some or none of the time and how long you make.
Yes you are right, I seem to remember NZMYC making noise about that at the time when it was proposed that it was to be mandatory to be tethered at all times.
Being trapped under the boat was the main objection I seem to remember.
-
Interesting article here at PBO.
With SSANZ and Solo races insisting on wearing a tether I think that I would rater take my chances in the water (inshore racing) than being dragged behind the boat under the water.

Thoughts?
Make it short is one option
-
Bugger, I'll miss the first weekend!
-
Nice bit of kit!
-
Just having trouble buying the one I want here ... it's always nice to have an option.
-
thanks for the info guys.
-
Hi All,
If I buy a new dinghy from Aus do I need to pay Duty/GST?
I can't seem to find a definitive answer.
Cheers,
Clive.

No front beam to trip over either.
Bit narrow at 4m though isn't it?
-
that centre pod is the way to go eh.
-
Looks like we don't have the interest.
New catamaran launched

Ah, those are the new quick deploy gennakers from Norths.
Great idea for short handed work.
