    yup - the guy who did ours a couple of weeks ago.

    Jeremy, ph 021 338 556.

    Nice guy, tried with soda first but it wouldn't cut it so came back and did it with garnet, no additional cost.

    Did four others on the Panmure hardstand after they saw ours, everyone happy as clams.

    Tell him Ashton recommended him.

    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?

    Anyone have experience with Warpaint?

    My boat currently has warpaint on it, around 1.5 years old and pretty much toast now. Barnicles on it after 2-3 weeks these days.

    Much easier for me to just stick with the same paint but I will be changing color from green to grey. Boat lives up the weiti river.

     

    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?

    Squabs

    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.

    Thank you Blue, that was the question I was hoping for an answer.

    So I need Seatalk. What would be the bare minimum seatalk for me? And rough price?

    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)  :roll:

    Brass machine screws

    Posted

    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.
