    Yeah, have to look in the top - see what's there. Or look here https://challengeyachts.com/water-heater/califonts.html/

    Sounds like the flow/pressure sensor is leaking. Good luck!

    The issue is that no gas fitter will likely touch it, as it des not meet the current NZ regs. But a self replacement might work? Might be cheaper than a repair? https://www.millen.co.nz/products/water-heaters-lpg/194.html

    It's still been one of the few offshore racers that an average sailor can afford a boat to compete in, although this is changing more recently. Performance wise, a modern smaller offshore racer is considerably faster than an old 45 ftr. Provided the whole race is not to weather!

    Mostly, if a NZer (citizen or permanent resident) arrives here in a boat they own, purchased offshore, GST (and duty, if any) will be due immediately on inwards clearance.

    Went Gliding - 60th birthday present. Even flew for a bit! Cool...

    Marine antenna and costs now released. $10 000 hardware, $5000/ month. Seems kind of ridiculous, and I think that's usd!

    Those look like they have no tether points?

    Lustys have the scanstrut ones…

    easy to make. Any stainless fabricator can make one. Where are you based?

    Then you need to convert it to the NMEA2000 standard. Looks like on of these would do it https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/pn/010-01226-00

    Wind transducer or wind instruments? Vulcan has no NMEA0183 input so if instruments you'd need a NMEA2000 adapter ...

    That's my understanding as well, and some have disabled the motors. No personal experience - yet.

    While this is true, the current antenna's are not designed for mobile (boat) platforms. The RV one is ok when stopped. New ones are coming that are designed for movement...

    Still a fair way off, here is the current coverage map; The light blue places are covered, and only about 15nm offshore so far. But it's coming...

    Good question! But you'll be able to have a NZ phone number (via IP phone) from anywhere, and broadband level internet

    This will revolutionize cruising! https://gizmodo.com/elon-musk-starlink-wifi-cars-boats-planes-1849133879?utm_campaign=Gizmodo&utm_content=&utm_medium=SocialMarketing&utm_source=facebook

    No issue with that Jon, again, enforcement (lack of) is the problem... If a few decent fines were issued, it would get round, and perhaps some would book training courses?
  23. Island Time
    Yes, seems unfortunate to me how close some people think getting to a ship - which is the stand on vessel inside harbour limits - is OK. If, as in this case, you hear 5 short blasts - that is the WTF are you doing signal. If you hear it directed at you, you have f%^$ed up! Keep out of the shipping channels when you can, and cross as fast as you can, at 90deg if possible. Within a mile of the bow is too close!

    Do you guys know that there are already rules for boat ID? Often local body rules, Auckland ones say a boat must have a name on it, clearly readable, min 90mm high lettering. Jet skis have to have a number. Again, the rules are there, just need enforcing.
  25. Island Time
    Yep. That and the enforcement/policing of existing rules would work fine. No need for yet more regulation. The harbour masters and maritime nz can already fine people.
