BP, flog everything? How long does it take you to heave to? It's a part of my briefing when people come aboard and I make sure they can do it.
Do you have a 60’ schooner too?

Did you turn the tubes? Or is that some prefabricated something else?
How do you stop water ingress? Does it just pool inside the tube?
Not turned. Carbon tube glued into carbon plate and edges sanded.
push dyneema through hole, put sika around the flat carbon, pull up tight, clean up and let set. No ingress in to cabin, I suppose the base of the dyneema stayed damp, but never seemed to be an issue.

Mint ! What are the rings for ?
The rings are tubes that are glued into the deck, to seal up core. Kind of a hollow upside down top hat

These ones

Yes, made a few. I sandwiched dyneema between carbon layers. Came out very well. No massive loads applied to the ones i made, but they seemed very strong.

On station at Port Abercrombie in a Chains Ropes and Anchors Enduro race we were anchored in 25m of water getting hit by upto 70kt bullets, we had 120m of 10mm chain out and were rock solid
That was not a fun finish to a race!

Faaaark!

Was that the aqua vitae that Garry is now doing up?

yup, I've built a couple now, one measured and cut by hand, one CNC'd. Would only CNC going forward.

Dinghy storage. How can any designer call a boat a bwc if the dinghy hasn't been accommodated at the design stage? Not just toss it on deck or bolt on some nasty davitts after it's been built.
What are your thoughts on what it should be?
On say a 40' keel boat

You cant call yourself a keel yacht with a lifting keel?
-
Thanks, too small for me.

The dinghy size is 2.4? I have a similar bag, well attacked by UV, for my 2.7 zodiac. Assume it wont work?

Not answering the question, but def related. The 5(?) pin plugs for the Raymarine ST1000 and ST2000 can be bought from RS for 1/3 of the cost of through Raymarine. They come from the same manufacturer. I did it a few years ago, $25 v $75 from memory (and that $75 might have been a mates rate cost).

Im excited. Should be a fun trip to coromandel.
Home, not so much
-
My finger has fanworm on it.
The finger is where the boat (sadly) spends most of its time.
What a joke
-
Are they serious? I have to comply but the finger I tie up to doesn't as it is 'commercial' ?

I’d also like that to be the case, but these rules are not saying that
