but they also now do an analysis on which model has been most accurate recently, to help you figure out which to believe.
Yes, but I think you have to pay extra to get that feature?

Although Peter Mummery was the owner, the boat was "chartered" by a young guy called Phil from Bucklands. I remember him giving away a crew spot at an UpTo26 prizegiving.
"Heading the Applications to Enter so far received by the CYCA is Alfa Romeo, Neville Crichton’s 30-metre super maxi which made its racing debut at Hamilton Island in August. The big boat is currently in New Zealand, from where the CYCA has received two other early nominations for the Rolex Sydney Hobart Race, Nevenka, a Townson 36 which is three years older than its 23-year-old skipper Phil Chisholm, and the well-performed Viva, a Beneteau 47.7 skippered by Peter Raudkivi."
Nevenka retired due to lack of wind according to this: https://rolexsydneyhobart.com/news/2005/day-6/nevenka-out/ But could also have been due to disagreements between the owner and the skipper.

Looks like more than half of a yacht's mast above water. Anyone know what size yacht?

They have removed piles for cleaning and antifouling, so shouldn't they let the hardstands stay?
-
The council are looking for feedback on what to do at little shoal bay. Apparently a lot of locals want to remove the hardstand. If you think it is worth keeping you can make a submission here:

If only there was a marina at Waiheke they could have berthed it in!

Agree. The forecast was for 15 knots in the Waitemata, but we got 20-25. I think that caught a few people out.

Does anybody know anything about this yacht, or have anything to say about a John Spencer 39ft? Things to look out for?
Look out for plywood!

Lots of pan pans yesterday. Boat swamped at Motuihe, and a dinghy flipped near Karaka Bay with the fisherman rescued by a jetski.

Coming into Izzy Bay after dark recently, I nearly ran into the Southern Progress. It has 3 dim lights at various heights and location visible from astern, no proper anchor light. Slightly confusing as I thought I was looking at 3 different size yachts further up the bay.

I'm not exactly sure what's wrong, but it shows no signs of life. Cannot be lit or started.
Thanks for the offer of the spares. If I can find someone to take a look, I may grab them off you.

The lower half looks identical to the one on Elly. Same knobs and pump. Except my one had meths burners. Was great until the burners got too corroded.

They have explicitly ruled out lockdowns and borders.

Damn I wish I saw this earlier!
My Mariner is working fine apart from the oven.
Any recommendations on who can fix these?

This interview with his crew mate gives another perspective:

It took me weeks to reach Jarle. When I did, I mentioned that captain Don McIntyre, one of the most accomplished seamen in the Antarctic, spoke highly of him. “Don McIntyre is a stuck-up self digging fool who was the first to judge fallen men,” Jarle replied within hours. He would be going to court soon, he wrote.

You mean a Farr 1020 went all the way to Minerva reef for a bit of fishing?

that medieval SSANZ start when the massive SW front came in right on the start. About 2005/6?
I did a chinese gybe, and bent the pushpit in half on Elly! 😆

You can get a remote speaker that plugs into the VHF, and mount it in the cockpit or throw it under the dodger.

They were doing very well in the Round Rangitoto race a few years ago, but missed the North Head buoy so had to retire. 😪

Dogs should be allowed ashore if they are on a leash. I take my dog everywhere on the boat. Usually all the parks have walking trails.
That is incorrect. Most islands you can NOT take dogs ashore. Any islands owned by DOC do not allow this. Rotoroa, and Great Mercury are privately owned but don't want dogs on shore.

Yep, Cyclone Cody headed our way. Could hit BOP Sunday night.

Great photos! What bay is the first one?

Have you tried Half Moon Bay Electrical? https://www.hmbe.co.nz/
Anyone here have a Boat Repainted in Fiji, how did that go for you?
