Would anybody happen to have a Chico 30 Half Hull Model that is surplus to requirements - I would like to use it to make a mould.. Failing that, would anyone happen top know the whereabouts of Keith Eade's mould. He has apparently lent it to someone and it is now in places unknown.

I suggest you send an email to colin@yachtingnz.org.nz and see if he can help you

Thanks for this, something for me to ponder.

Waikiore, would you please clarify, did the organisers ask YNZ for help and were turned down, or did the organiser actually have the problem solved through other arrangements.

OK. Will be in a position to do that tomorrow.

I have a pole that is surplus to requirements, you can take the ends off that and junk the tube if you so desire. Where are you located.

YNZ have a process, there is no cost. Just contact them and ask them to remove the boat, they will provide you with written confirmation. It is a process that does not carry much weight but some countries appear to require it.

There is that axe again Mr Boxonsmash - be careful you don't cut yourself. Oh ... and please answer my question above, just who has already "done the decent thing" and has gone from YNZ as a result of the shenanigans you describe, I am curious.

That's interesting, who has already gone

Ah well. With all these impending vacancies there will be plenty of opportunity for you to get in there and sort it all out. I assume you are polishing your CV.

Perhaps its not all that bad after all ... spotted yesterday on Facebook. How's that axe, must be razor sharp by now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The quality of Yachting New Zealand's leadership has once again been recognised with the awarding of Sport New Zealand's Governance Mark - the highest acknowledgement of its kind in the country.

Fair enough. I wasn't actually trying to 'fire a shot', but I do see how it may have come across that way. What I was trying to understand was that if I read this thread then I would conclude that YNZ is fundamentally broken, needs a cleanout and a full refresh. Yet 5 minutes on the interweb tells me that NZ has one sailing medals in 10 of the last 11 Olympics, with the gap coming in 2000 - 20 years ago. If I was responsible for that record I would be incredibly proud of it. I understand from the thread that there is a review process underway but surely that process should be with th

Mr boxonsmah, Methinks you have an axe to grind, did you, or someone close to you perhaps, miss out on selection for something in days gone by.

As a cruising yachtie, what would you like them to be 'up to'?

I believe it is not yet open to the public, but not far away. I am also of the understanding that any dinghies left at the wharf will be removed, it is not a storage facility (I could be wrong, I have it third hand)
