  1. That is a classic, 50 years this year celebrations at Jeremy Rogers in the UK
  2. Sure is good to see Blink sail to her promise well done you guys
  3. Yes and she appears to be just inside one of the better known tourist ones....
  4. Yes for obvious reasons the west coast wont happen, and Manukau now closed to shipping of any size, so we are left with the Firth- but who will pay?
  5. Was hers, but she quickly sold it after trying to shift Brown Island, the new owner patched her up and was cruising in a week, she is working on a whiting I believe
  6. Look for significant speed increase on this test boat, particularly to weather. They have been working hard.
  7. Which NZ team has entered the One Ton Cup revisited this year to be sailed in Europe? The organisers say there is a team from NZ?
  8. New ETNZ boat getting launched today....
  9. Yes knowing all on board I really feel for them, and IT it woudnt hurt to tighten up on some of the posters of the rambling kind here.
  10. If you buy her please get rid of the teak, otherwise you will regret it. If you must, use one of the fake teak options they will protect her and last a lot longer.
  11. Knowing those on board and their experience, a terrible tragedy which just serves to remind us to keep alert always, Harry Tory and Ross on way back apparently.
  12. yes I am in the market for a pair of 28's
  13. Southern Man take note of what E749 tells you
  14. Good to see Artemis getting the win after the trials they have had, its anyones series
  15. Was 5% in my day but I believe is 6% now.
  16. Perhaps Jody on Itchy Feet has led a dodgy wire past his compass.... doesn't make sense that hard left
  17. Anarchy Hupane Crusader and Blink - that's where the interesting racing will happen
  18. Agree KM those two pairings will be worth watching, V70 talking big at the moment, Monday night -Tuesday morning all things being perfect. (Is it ever ?).
  19. Er yeah another from Mairangi Bay here -same question as KM as we are about to upgrade the sounds on board as well.
  20. Cruising division down to one boat with Moody Blue heading to Opua for repairs, and Platino still here.
  21. The Swedish hanks shown are what was marketed as NZ style hanks in Europe- referring of course to the Murray hanks made here for years, the European ones are not made of the same metal as the old Murray ones though -which could if carefully prised open be used again and again. I too have experienced the wichard hanks coming away from the forestay in very unpleasant conditions (flogging) and seen them hook other halyards --very tricky.
  22. Looks like a big seabird? There was one in Whangarei years ago
  23. waikiore

    Next project.

    Have used cable ties for many years with great success- they are a lot easier on plywood and planes.
