Very interesting concept

Yes compulsory licensing works well! just look at the car drivers licensing, no one ever speeds, crosses centre lines, over takes in the wrong place, go through red lights, runs from the police etc.
And that is with 9004 sworn police

Would be tempting to return some rocket flares

If we compare this to the guy who steals a car, picks up some mates, does a runner from the police and then crashes injuring is mates
What would you expect his fine to be ?

One thing I would add to wheels post is I would use a neutral cure silicone that has no anti fungal added, sealant suitable for fish tanks, acetoxy silicones can on certain metals can cause corrosion

Wheels, I have had a copy of your downloaded chart for some time, trying to figure out consumption of any new boat we buy.
But, don't understand it.
My present boat has a Perkins Parama M30 3 cyl diesel engine - 29.5hp at 3600rpm. I cruise at 2000rpm and from the power curves the engine is delivering 18hp at that rpm. From the chart I should be burning 3 litres/hour. In reality I am burning about 1.8 litres/hour.is
Your motor is able to produce 18 hp at 2000 rpm that would burn 3 l/hour but your prop is not using 18 hp

Were are you based?

Thanks for you reply's
A small solar panel?
I think that is probably best, just a bit of a nuisance having to take them in with winds regularly over gale force
Did you mean " unattended" ?
Auto correct

I am very confused about all of this, I have asked the marina but they don't know and could not tell me what code they are working to ! They just gave me a name of an electrician I could employ to tell me what I need.
All I want is to have a battery charger on from time to time to top up the batteries, so it would be unattained.
They are telling me I need to wire the boat up with an RCD, I would have thought the RCD on the pedestal should be protecting the lead and hard wiring the boat up is just duplication of this

You use to be able to get it from burnsco

I use the met service forecast for cook strait.

I'd be in serious trouble trying to get to the ramp in Lyttelton under sail! Would be like playing dodgems
Where is your sense of adventure

Good to hear
-
Most would go east coast as there are more options if the weather turns bad

Water in your oil will make it go milky colour.

If it did work all the commercial operators would be using it

Giving them a good wipe over with lanolin with help keep the corrosion away

Cars do not have enough area to make an appreciable difference to the range.
example I get 7.5 km per KWH a 250 watt panel will product 1kwh if in good direct sun light in 4 hours and a 250 watt panel is approx. 1.6m x 1m
So realistically you would get 10 km of range per day if you covered your car
