Deep Purple

A good ending then, phew

Yep, Dragons

Sundreamer is still for sale, just sayin'

I found him great to deal with given I gave him less than 24 hours notice that my boat was arriving in Tauranga and needed the mast stepped and rig checked. He was there at sparrow fart, replaced a stay and stepped the rig. Gave me a very reasonable bill and I paid him on the spot.

And ex Sydney Hobart 50 Ragamuffin

I wonder what part the drone played in herding the whale into that position. There are strict rules in nz about overflying marine mammals.

There one at Whitianga, lovely boats and sail better than most cruisers of their size.

Keep my boat on it's trailer in the hardstand but have an arrangement to use a marina over summer or whenever I need it.

Then again $155 for this is good buying https://www.trademe.co.nz/1374657680

I agree, far from Farr Jack Cropp and I Immediately thought of the video MB posted too

Awesome Hopefully some of his detractors will shut up but I doubt it

This explains why the price of Noelex 25's and perhaps Noelex 30's are going up if anything. Passed a 25 today (strangely without a mast) and reflected on what a pretty boat they are. Mate of mine has a share in a Westhaven Bavaria and suits his needs perfectly at the moment. But he's moving to Whitianga along with us eventually and will probably get a Noelex 25. We'll race the Dragon, pop over to the Merc's in the Noelex for the night. We just need someone with a fizzy to go fishing in.

New Europeans look good if they are over 40' but the cruising ones around 30' look stupid.

I'd rather have the H28

Good to hear. I use youshop often, never had a problem

Great party at the Squadron

You mean this http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11883219 Amazed at the whinger that says he had no idea when almost all the other builders could figure out that once you've built a one off boat, your job might come to an end.

Yep, if they didn't fish there then they shouldn't get it. Same applies to the Kermadecs

No it's not, our growth is barely above the level of immigration

Artemis were faster all round
