Norwegian Blue

Ok, so now you have broken the whole YNZ website (403 Forbidden)

Hi Ash, what's a rough cost to get this done? I have to come out soon. Anyone know if Orams (or Pier 21) will allow this to be done there?

I have war paint on the new boat which was supposedly applied in Feb last year and is absolutely stuffed now. Coming out at Easter and I will go back to Ultra 2 which is what I had on the boat just sold. I have someone who cleans regularly so the Ultra 2 seems fine in that scenario. I'll have to apply undercoat and I see the specs say 4 to 5 coats 😒. Has anyone gotten away with fewer?

Taken, thanks

I have 2 quarter berth squabs (~2m long and 80cm at widest) and a saloon backrest (~133cm x 60cm - 155cm along top) that I bought off here several years ago and have never used. Pick up from Westhaven. Swap for a bottle of Mt Gay.

Anyone doing hull cleans in Westhaven still? I need my done before the weekend (R930).

Sailing inside the fairway marks at the finish, I suspect.

Just your tiller pilot, it speaks Seatalk. Join that to the remote box and they will chat happily together. They are still demented and will try and kill you when you are on the foredeck though, or run you aground off Motuihe (not that I talk from experience)

I have one of his remote systems & it works great. It does use SeaTalk (yellow data wire). There is no mod required to the tillerpilot. https://www.madmanmarine.com/product-page/ap-wrc3if-autopilot-remote-control

Oh, should have said. Countersunk flat head, and they are not visible once installed (just the dome nuts are visible). Thanks for the links.

I have an old brass porthole which I have re-fitted in a new front door and some of the machine screws are playing hard to find. None of the chandlers stock brass machine screws anymore, Fosters can probably order in boxes of 100 but I only need a few 1/4" by 2" and 2 of 5/16" by 2" (just had to have different size dome heads). Any idea who may stock these, alternatively will a stainless screw with a brass dome nut fizz? In the spray zone but otherwise under cover.

Get hold of Grant Genkins (Kiwi Rigging and ex- Grunt Machine) he made mine on The Bondi Tram. generally a bit cheaper than the mass produced ones and the finish is superb and he can do all the fiddly bits on the mast too (esp since yours is carbon). It makes a massive difference when putting a reef in (especially short handed) and also gives the main much more shape in the light stuff.

The PW tracker tells a bit of a story, would be good to hear what transpired. I am glad I was let off the hook this year http://forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/race/Panmure_Yacht_Boating_Club

This is my light airs Doyles self-tacker. Full batten at the top only, let me know if you want a few more pics.

Yip, Richmond will be putting on the Hauraki Single handed Series again. Details are being finalised, but looks to be another great one.

Hi guys, sorry for the late response. I have decided to keep it since it's not worth much.

Thanks DYC, another great race! I overestimated time to line and didn't get the best start on TBT probably about 10 sec late. Struggled a bit on the first beat, was the first to tack away into clean air and settle down. It was windier than forecast but I thought I would hold onto the full main, a decision I would regret. I was happy when I tacked back to Rangi to find that I hadn’t lost much if any ground to Revo Blues (damn but you do heavy stuff well ). H&H was having another blinder, and the two big boys had left us all for dust. Round Rangi the swells started getting alarmingly s
