Personally I think Ryobi is not up to snuff, remember returning something at Bunnings and a third of the people in the returns queue had a Ryobi something or other in their hands, telling.

Or you could get an electric halyard winch, position it so you can tail then take the line back to the winch. Have that set up, works a treat

Agree on the headroom forward but the trade off is a nice foredeck and a very nice profile, appears quite a slippery boat in the light. Main is a little full but material in good shape may get the luff hollowed, anyways I have committed and subject to survey she will hopefully move to Bayswater.

Nice looking boat, its on trademe, anyone know more.

Dont understand the thinking here. Take all of the good bits of the boat and then try and sell it while keeping all to good bits to use on the new build. Why would you not sell the boat complete which is far more attractive to any potential buyer and get more up to date good bits for the new build. I think this boats gonna be on the market a long time with that sort of ask and oh by the way you have to buy a new rig etc.

So I asked Customs the question here is the rather vague reply, so another query perhaps more specific will have to be made. Thank you for your enquiry. To meet the terms of returning NZ goods and import the boat free of Customs duty and GST, the boat will need to be readily identifiable (i.e. marked or numbered), the exporter and importer must be the same person, the goods must be in substantially the same condition and export entry details must be provided as evidence of the export (to confirm boat was not a GST free sale for export). From what you have stated, the boat will not

Thanks for the comments thus far, we have made enquiries of the offshore owner and hope to hear back shortly. For instance we do not know if the boat was built for them and supplied directly to them or if it spent time here in NZ and was subsequently sold. The moving offshore etc lines of thinking will not work for us, we both reside in Auckland and will be happy to sail it back on her own bottom if the numbers work out. Will keep you updated on the developments.

Thanks for the replies thus far, yes we (wifey and I) are seriously looking at a nice kiwi built boat currently offshore but obviously paying GST to return it here becomes a bit of a dealbreaker. So it is a practical rather than an academic matter, it is frustrating that a govt dept is so vague and yes the answer one day to the next could hvave significant implications from a financial stand point. Will see if we can explore the previous papertrail with regard to the vessel going offshore and see what that gives us.

Been a long time since I posted here Anyone know the ins and outs. I vaguely recall if a boat was built in NZ it was GST exempt to bring her back in? I have called Customs but they didn't have much of a clue to be honest, the girl said she talked with supervisor and it was 5% duty and 15% GST on agreed sale price. When I mentioned GST would have already been a component while the vessel was being built here she went vague and directed me to the website which doesn't appear to tell you much. Can anyone shed any light on the subject?

Pathetic. There is one boat already in town today that will cost about USD $110,000.00 a day to Run and Auckland shitty council wants to ping them and extra 1970 bucks for the PRIVILEGE of watching the cup. WTF What that one yacht has bought into this country in revenue, parts, and employment and you have got some 25 yr old nimby trying to justify his 100K pay check by charging them more? F off, this is petty BS.

Plus one for TefGel just got some from Burnsco 30g syringe tube $36.99 Incl GST with membership card, the full whack is $ 39.99 so not cheap but will last longer than my other favorite Lanocote in that pedestal application.

Hi Clive, Contact Don Mattson at Hutcheson Boatbuilders in Tauranga he has a very good deck product Dec-King I think its called. I saw it at the recent Hutchwilco boat show-he's putting it in a lot of Smuggler RIBS at present.

ummm...don't fall overboard Otherwise I would be towing something so you pull them to the platform once close, but if they are out cold its going to be a problem for anyone even if you have available free board

A good outcome Hats off to Fizzer for turning himself in , will both indiscretions cancel each other out?, I would lay odds on alcohol being involved, possibly for both parties in this instance. Hope the boating public in general gets the message both a proper lookout and proper lighting at night are key to avoiding what could have easily been a tragedy.

Agree these idiots were likely airborne in pretty short order. I would expect obvious damage to the offenders bow, some to the vessels bottom and possibly the outboard. That said if it was a well built tinnie hitting anything ply at speed it may have left a few scratches. We could hope the offenders had a Stainless prop because they are strong, however the downside to a stainless prop is if it hits something it usually causes drive train damage which will cost whereas an alloy prop takes the brunt of the impact and typically damage is limited to just the prop and shear pin. If I was

Forget the two thousand dollar hammer why don't you pay for the five ships you have built twice! Note: GAO is the US Govt Accounting Office. their job is to review the billions spent and discover the stupid spending done and by whom. If you Google GAO and enter any arm of the military in the states you will be astounded at the waste....... Quote: What GAO Found For five of the six Navy and Coast Guard ships GAO reviewed, guarantees did not help improve cost or quality outcomes.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12015856 The offending boat must be pretty damaged hope they catch the moron that did not come back and check the welfare of those on board hope he gets a jail sentence not a slap on the wrist with a wet ticket.

In my experience MPS stands for Multi Problem Sail As previously mentioned it does a lot but not very well, much like a sail designed by a committee, if a city council was involved it would be a sea anchor. I would go with a sail designed to fill a specific wind range or point of sail where the boat is lacking horsepower and not necessarily just racing, if it adds even a knots boatspeed to your point of sail that can mean a lot when cruising depending on where you are going and remembering of course that gentlemen never go to weather. I do like the ATN snuffers though, good kit and

Let me see, Shes for sale for USD 13,959,000 which is reasonably cheap for some thing in this length range, a more recent build in this length will set you back USD 45-55 million. You can charter her for USD 195,000 per week plus food, booze and fuel, that works out at 16,250.00 per guest (12 Total) plus expenses for a week. Airfares to get to the vessel not included. To fuel her up requires 220,000 litres, Range 9600 NM @ 10 Knots, given her length and original purpose as a North sea Tug she probably runs bunker fuel. Parking her just about anywhere at 58 metres is going to c

One has to wonder how many of these "prominent Aucklanders" have an "interest" in VHH, or One Market Square-call me a twisted cynic but why else would they fall in behind what is essentially the rich listers VHH option? Go on Dalts just tell the F wits to make room next to the sticks of dumbarse already up there- surely there will be enough room for a big FU we are off to Italy. Wished I had time for the popcorn but this dicking around over what has been clearly spelled out is a time sensitive issue has descended into an episode of Keystone Cops with too many barely concealed agendas

Bloody nobrains in the Auckland shitty council, Parkers crowd and now Viaduct holdings Jesus h. Christ. I hope Dalts/ETNZ comes out and says thats it, we will just pack our bags and take the whole thing to Italy because you bureaucrats are getting consumed with empire building and not even extending the Courtesy of consulting us during a process which by the way we signed of on back in February and is that not the only plan going through the resource consent process. These same idiots only have one job to do, and yet it is clear that that is a big ask, equally Dalts was clear after

Anyone do analysis of engine oil samples in Auckland?. Often used to get a understanding of engines general condition or dependent upon what sort of metal detritus is found in the oil an indication of potential problems forthcoming.

I am in the market for a new furler, boat 12m sloop rigged, It does not have one. Harken, Profurl or Furlex or others? I have experience with Harken and Profurl having assembled and installed them many moons ago but am sure a lot has changed since I was last involved. Any informed opinions?
