  1. Well... maybe.

    Not saying anything bad but here is reply I got from last nights email to Southern Plumbing.

    In fact thumbs up for fast reply..

    We would start with a service call which is $320.00 incl GST.

    This covers the first hour and 15 minutes of labour on the job.

    Anything beyond that the Plumber/Gas fitter will discuss with you. Materials are extra.
    We require you to be onsite when we are here for the service call.

    If there is rubber hose used as gas piping, we cannot do any work or testing until this is replaced with a suitable pipe.

    In Order for us to certify the job, the entire gas installation including the bottle and piping and ventilation has to be compliant with the gas installation standard for boats.

    If the installation is not compliant, we will not be able to perform any tests and we will charge time for quote. Which is $90 including GST. Proposal will be sent shortly after visit.

    If you wish to book in a service call we require:

    Billing name:
    Billing address:
    Boat name, location and length:

    Site contact:

    Please note that after 7 years there are no longer spare parts produced for gas appliances and after that it can be almost impossible to locate any. 
    If the unit is over 15 years we cannot guarantee any repairs will last a reasonable amount of time, or guarantee that it can even be repaired. You may choose to put the money toward a new appliance instead of attempting to repair it.

    Kind Regards,

    Current on board debate: how big does a rock have to be before it is an island.

    Big enuff 4 one inhabitant and able to support that one i.e. arable, & provide shelter or a site where shelter could be built.

    Close to an ice cream shop. After all othef things - is life really possible without icecream

     

  3. Kind of staggers me a bit - this clumsy stuff going on.

    It looked like many of the guys yesterday afternoon were like star struck schoolboys on their 1st rodeo. Bertarelli (I think) was given the honour of handing out the medals and pretty rudely it seemed a lot of the ETNZ people (Dalton included) just steamed past as if he weren't there and then kinda took the medal as an afterthought. Maybe they were caught up in the moment but if not,  its either axes being ground or they're just plain rude. 

    I think they have to behave better than this, and now the squaddie are bumbling their way around too.

    Rant concluded.

  4. I'd reckon there's a point to argue BP. 

    Pretty sure commerce commission might have a few things to say about this sort of behaviour. To my mind its like false advertising.

    The price list is current, doesn't indicate it's subject to change without prior notification and while every business has to have that right, there are rules about how they must go about it.  If they didnt tell u at the time of booking I'd say its too late.  

    Toe rags.

    interesting this talk of a 1-off AC in cowes next year paid for by ratcliffe of ineos

    1 race and if etnz lose it the cup is gone?

     

     

    Nice idea, and I think they should - but with the provisio that it would be a promo tour - 'coming to a town near you' kind of deal.

    Get the design out there and racing, show the public what they can do, learn about course requirements and develop the boat some more - but is the cup up for grabs? Nah! That's the defenders prerogative.

  6. I like that idea. Then if 1 gains an advantage the other can try to wriggle away to retrieve the situation. Kind a like cat n mouse, sometimes cat wins sometimes not...

    Next time maybe. If ETNZ holds it I'd hope so, cos I'd rather see refinement of the wheel - not a new one.

  7. Or have two race days where both teams have to wear fancy dress, theme chosen by a 3 year old from a school in each of the 2 competitors 'home' country, with additional points awarded for imaginative use of the theme
