I use GME with raymarine gear. Got from supercheap or repco.

So you are saying as we are all rich and can afford it, doesn't matter if they do a sh*t job?

looks like I'm up for a scrape back then, thats whats on my boat!
-
stopped red, or stopped altogether?

I just installed one of those on Saturday! im using the k mart version of a jetboil so had to redraw the design. Also into a starport. IMG_8928.mov

If I was looking for a new sail, I'd go Evos, Booboo (rogue) or seamtech.

Putting aside Petes Shocking starts, the event was epic. We took the boat out one day and went to the stands the next. The view from the stands was amazing, the action fast and furious. It was great, but I still think Lyttleton is a better venue (dolphins aside)

I was there. We were within VHF range to hear the Mayday off one of the boats. 2 closest boats stood by (and not that it would have helped, but interesting to hear one had a defib on board). From what I understand, both sailors were experienced, not paying beginners. Awful news to hear during a race, but damn good reminder re safety. I have never done a race where I was clipped on so often. It was windy, but not more than low 40s, so not too bad. But seas got very large and at times, very confused, so could have been easy to get thrown into a Chinese or the like. We had the helm washed of

US are doing this? Thats interesting. Yes, funding is an issue, but I think you might find people happy to pay to an organisation that is working for them. It almost feels like YNZ are against us presently (I know they arn't)

Damn, what a brilliant idea. Not a lot in common between racing a laser around the cans and getting a 40' raceboat safely to Fiji. Aside from basic rules and being powered by wind. I am just assuming the current custerfuck of YNZ/IVC/Cat 1/Polish registration has killed (or more positively 'put on hold') offshore racing from this country.

Registration Offshore such as the Cook Islands

You think there will be offshore races anymore? -
A Piedy and a ross 930! you buy both and still have less hulls than the wolf....

I need some bits of 25mm stainless tube bent and welded to a stanchion. Any recommendations for someone local (central aucklandish) who could do the work?

So what? Start was calm. Im sure many will put them on later. Lifejackets are great, i wear mine often (all the time 2 handed), but comments like that piss me off.
