Whats the question? My lifelines have no ferrule or low friction rings, just lashing through a spliced eye in the lifeline. Chains ropes and anchors did mine. I spliced the ones across the transom, its quite a fiddly splice.
-
The thought crossed my mind as it could tie in nicely with the sydney to auckland afterwards. But the wife didnt think it a good idea in her crusing boat and having thought about the hobart i did, doing it 2 handed would have been hell.

Nice halyard

Do you ever listen at briefing Coen? Perhaps look at noticeboard for amendments? www.ssanz.co.nz But no, looks like multis at normal time
-
Actually i think there is an ammendment, with piedies and 88s having their own starts, the starts stretch outnto maybe 940?
-
And yep, Longhaul 1 and 2 will have a bit on at the start. Should be exciting!
-
147 entries, highest in last few years I think. How do we break the 150 next year?
-
Are you talking to KM and Phil, or Bertelli?
-
Not at all. It just shows what whiny pussys the Italians are
-
Depends if you want to work on it yourself or pay someone. DIY and you will get a great value boat.

Not sure its a problem, who doesn't want to take a day off work to go sailing...?
-
Easter is what killed it, id suggest not a long weekend. People dont mind taking a day off work to go sailing, but families dont like losing long weekends.

And log problems
-
Yeah, that thing is quite awesome. Faster than you would think, and pretty easily rightable. Id like one...

I had a few rudder gudgeon bolts like that on voom

Bryon, both Gale and Krakatoa plumbed in separate tote tanks with valves etc before RNZ. Come take a look one day. If i had a fuel issue the plan was to flick a few valves and carry on with new supply.

Actually, based on approx 40L for 120nm, I guess that 20 hours at 6 knots, your number seems more accurate. Not too interested in cutting it fine. Any easy way to actually measure it?
-
SFA. Old engine seemed to burn about 2.5 - 3L an hour
-
From memory fuel requirements are based on being able to motor x distance in flat water. (150nm?). And 20L extra fuel. Are you saying outboards use too much fuel to motor 150nm to be able to carry safely onboard?

I didnt bother with CG app after finding winddan. Its awesome. Try it. Has all nowcasts on one page. CG really missed the boat on their ‘upgrade’
-
Doubt a racier F32 slower than hooters. Didnt superbad (F32) beat then in a windy sw coastal a few years back?
-
For a start just give up on the cg app.

I saw a peak of 61!
