Next leg starts 4pm today. They will be heading back up the west coast, even though Katana just proved that East can be done.
-
More likely selling them some Harken gear!
Niksen needed a new winch, and Start Me Up had to fit their repaired prod. Arbitare are now out of the race with engine problems.

Pre-start incident. And Start Me Up is looking for a welder when they get to Mangonui.
Meanwhile the boats are in now in Bream Bay, and those who have gone into the beach are running out of wind, while those who stayed out have good breeze. E.g. Urban Cowboy now doing 2.6 knots, and Shimmer doing 6.3 knots.

Sounds pretty extreme up there last night.

Napier is out of action. So latest plan is for a 3 leg race.
Mangonui, Picton, then round East Cape to Auckland.
But if too much debris or lack of rescue services, then after Picton back up west coast round North Cape to Auckland.

Heard on channel 16 yesterday of a submerged silage bale near Kawakawa bay!
-
A lot happened before the Navy got involved.
Police boat Deodar made it to Little Barrier but had to turn back.
3 helicopters involved. One got there but it was too rough to perform rescue.
The sailor only turned on his EPIRB after 24ish hours, which was a big help.

Are the funds to be combined and used for both? Or are they to be kept separate?
Not sure, but the same groups are involved in both. So maybe if there is any left over from Bayswater, it will be used for Okahu.

Hardstand Status UpdateUnfortunately, the Orakei Local Board are still committed to closing the Hardstand as of the 28th of February, despite:• Having no funding, either within their own budget or Councils LTP (10-year plan) to implement the “park” that they consulted on and gave the impression they would be implementing.• Two public meeting facilitated by the good people at the Auckland Yachting and Boating Association to try and convince the OLB to delay or review their decision (both meetings were attended by literally hundreds of boats and users).• A presentation from Auckland Councils Biosecurity team that recommended that the Hardstand stay open.• Receiving multiple letters, complaints and requests for The Landing to remain open from boating associations clubs and user groups (Auckland Yachting and Boating Association, Yachting New Zealand, Orakei Marina, Marina Operators Association, NZ Marine Industry Association, Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, Ponsonby Cruising Club, Kennedy Point Marina, Bayswater Marina users, Westhaven Marina users , New Zealand Multihull Association and the myriad of other boat clubs and associations).• Any immediate use for the Hardstand space.One must wonder what some of the boards’ agendas or reasons are?All is not lost though, due to several generous donations and a considerable amount of voluntary time being committed by a very dedicated group spearheaded via the Auckland Yachting and Boating Association, moves are afoot to mount a legally based defence and implement a full investigation into the decision making process that has allowed such a small group of people the ability to rob the greater Auckland region of a considerable regional asset.How can you help?Please donate to the good people at the Auckland Yachting and Boating Associations Give a Little page: https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/supportthelandinghardstand, even the smallest donation will make a difference.

The Squadron party at Kawau this weekend may be a damp squib.
Or they may make us race back on the Saturday - just like last year. -
Wow $2400 for an Easterly 30. Someone got a bargain!

Black Panther, did I read you correctly that you budget $1000 per month???
Probably his total living costs, not just the boat.

Otto, it would be good if this were also publicized via the Save Okahu Bay people. They have good reach through facebook and email.

It is when you get these barnacles attached! Others with different antifoulings have had the same problem, so not just a coppercoat problem.
-
One of the competitors in the GGR (solo round world race) used coppercoat.
Large amount of goose barnacles attached after 5 months. Some commentators think he didn't "activate" the coppercoat correctly.

Could be Michigan...

Mine has a similar arrangement. Can pump fresh water into the toilet by closing the seacock, and running the tap in the basin.
