  1. Yes XXXX does not do dangerous things in my experience, he was racing back to Auckland on Sunday I watched him start.
  2. Something wrong with this post, not sure that it should be left up......
  3. Over 2 1/2 hours by my watch, certainly liked your deck lighting.

    New prop

    yes I would be looking for 6 knots ish at 3000 and being able to get near 3600 as she sinks into her own hole going a little quicker (gives you reserve for weather conditions)

    New prop

    Put MAXwax on available in a spraycan at most good chandlers - I got a year out of it, not quite propspeed but for your situation ideal. And yes you should reach maximum 3600 with all things being right - clean bottom etc etc. We require that to sign off new engines as the boats always get heavier bottom fouling etc and you dont want to put a modern small diesel into lug. Depending on the engine an older one can have a little leeway.
  7. Anode set for Yanmar saildrive in Nelson - Nick at Aimex he is the dealer
  8. The question of course is why try to shift her while still on the bottom firmly, ning nongs
  9. Its the one with the loose interior grid liner
  10. There wasnt that much breeze at that time on Saturday I was down there in the sweltering heat.
  11. There are a few at Milford who think its alright to dry out with the boat bolt upright or slightly leaning away from the piles too. Never could understand it when a couple of buckets of water on the gunwhale will ensure a safe degree of lean in even if you cant be there when she settles to the ground. Seen a number tip at Westhaven over the years..
  12. Really begging for some of the homeless to occupy (with their fishing lines) !
  13. All the big boats and some local ones use rigpro at westhaven all set up for craning in and out in fact they are doing it right now.
  14. They could be a bit tricky if you went forward at night on a boat over about 50' nec minute everybody awake looking at the wake for a floater as you stroll back and ask for a coffee!
  15. Intrigued to finally see this art installation erected on the wharf even without the promised giant chandelier, its a shame one side of the council doesnt talk to the other-- laneway, the fishing boat celebration, the open wharves and regatta day on anniversary weekend, but they will do the official unveiling a week or two later.....
  16. Raymarine have had this for over ten years
  17. Take my hat off to him even if he did a Moitessier now

    Matapouri Bay

    Ah actually the cove to the south very open not an overnight anchorage, inside on the North side however is Marsden Cove lovely spot in settled weather but still can roll, or off the main beach in vv strong west can be good, was there on sunday.
  19. Ideal for the CYA regatta up here in a month or so, in fact there were a few Dragons entered three or four years ago.
  20. The numbers blow anything before out of the park, hard to comprehend. And with Sodebo Ultim going around solo in 49 days wow
  21. Was a bit worried about Gopher Broke, sailed down next to him to the Mercs then anchored behind him and watched him leave solo into a fitful breeze on the 29th with an old style headsail heading for?
  22. Agree KM if thats the fuse I can always shackle on another anchor.
  23. Yep got them, but are stopping the storm anchor scratching my polished Kauri hull, rely on spinlock for my bouyancy
  24. Oh no, Keith Manch the Wellington pin stripe suit wearing ex Policeman who is the face of Maritime NZ calling for tougher Govt backed lifejacket laws and penalties, also targetting specifically us regular long term boaties.... on National radio this morning.
