True true -I well recall some brawling in the squadron amongst the Patiki crews after match racing, now thank goodness the average age has radically increased and we are likely to see them cruising and fun racing with smiles and beers at Kawau on Labour weekend ....

To a degree similar here, with a small number of entrants doing most of the racing, when it takes a syndicate of 50 somethings to be able to afford to maintain and race an 88 at Westhaven you can see where we are going...

This has been the case in the Waikato for some time, I have stood up in my wooden dinghy and paddle with one oar -therefore a traditional SUP.

Strainer between inlet and raw water pump and change the impeller every year or so seems to work.
