I turn off my panels when running engine so the alternator is the sole provider of charging current. I assumed the charge voltage of the solar charging would limit the current from the alternator as the reg would see the high voltage?

I looked up last years coastal and saw 144 entries.

A quite raftup? Do you mean a quiet raftup? Or maybe quite a raftup?

Can you buy Micron Ultra?

I downloaded the cg app after winddan stopped. What a horrible app, old version was better.

Mine looks like the oliver sudden setup

Caltex sandringham road does too

I haven't got pics. Mine has an eye spliced into each end (by CRA) and cow-hitched through the pulpit and lashed to the pushpit. I spliced a few short bits for stern lifelines, its quite fiddly and with almost no stretch in the dyneema cover it was a challenge for a splicing newby like me. i wish I could replace my lower wire too, but chafe would be too much of an issue through the stanchions. Mine has 50mm lengthsoff lifeline cover tube at each stanchion to prevent chafe there.

She looked just fine this morning when i was down there

I have 4mm sheathed dyneema on my top lifelines. Its awesome. No chafe issues, care needs to be taken through stantions. My lower is still wire due to inability to protect from chafe through stantions

Awesome. Saves weight too

An extremely slim one on a very wet multi.

During the RNZ I looked up the tides for somewhere once in the Almanac. First time I have opened opened one during a race. Hate to think of how many I have bought over the years, would be a few hundred dollars easily. I think that is the item that pisses me off the most.

Just to be clear, i wasnt serious, but if weather is good, it must be easier than swimming...

Pick a nice day and go for a sail? I vaguely recall Gavin Brady sailed his P class across cook straight?

Is there a way of viewing nowcasts online, outside of cg app or pw subscription?

If this thread was my visit to crew.org I would not come back.

That sux. Hope it comes back, love that app. Its what the cg app should have been

And I hear the 40th (and final) boat has entered. A class 40 - Evolution Sails Rattle n Rum

I always understood that didn't apply to yachts, but thinking about it, it could be that it would not be enforced for yachts?

But i thought if it was on the internet it must be true....

At 37 now, hopefully one more coming. The last entry I saw is our resident bondage expert!

Pick me, I know what you did! Nice vid though, I like the brothers tucking with each other at 0:50...
