Pretty sure you need to remove the cannister. They are usually more worried about it inflating in an overhead locker and blowing the locker apart!

That almost looks like a class legal 1020 genoa track there Cam....

Would think this one is ideal for you. https://www.trademe.co.nz/4089656082

Yup totally. It's been a shocker.

Rogue 3 is the finish boat this time so just follow the noise.

Certainly a Massive boat party in Wynyard quarter....

Anyone else thinking of entering? I'm going to chuck my entry in today. What's not to like, free berthage in the viaduct for the weekend, party with a live band right beside the boats (Phil hart I believe), a fun race with hopefully a heap of boats and if it all goes well a real festive raft up party in wynyard quarter reminiscent of the old Sydney hobart and fastnet days where the boats all piled into whatever spot they could fit and rafted 20+boats deep. I think it's a cool concept. Perfect weekend for me as I have sythony in the domain Saturday night (should be a truly epi

That's very sad news he was a great guy. I had no idea he was even sick.

I have heard its a Black 50ft(ish) performance multihull.

Agreed. This one has the potential to be the real deal.

Im guessing that you need to go into a Marina or Q Dock to clear customs and Bio Security so insurance is a legal requirement for that?

Weiti River. The current was ripping.

We were also hit on our mooring by another boat that came loose and sustained some damage. Quite a few boats here with damage. To be honest it was terrifying and very very close to catastrophic for us and many boats around us. We had an H28 wrapped around our bow and slowly going under the boat. I cant believe our mooring held. Luckily the incoming tide slowed down the current after a few hours otherwise it would have likely been much worse. Closest I have ever come to losing my boat I think.

I think I saw you out there on Saturday near gulf harbour. Boat looked good and was sailing fast. Managed to get a few photos.

On all of our bigger cruising boats we have had the pole stored on the mast and was very happy with it. But those were bigger boats with long and heavy poles. You need a track up the mast same length as your spinnaker pole to use that system as tbe pole butt end needs to be pulled up so it's bloody expensive. I think it's unnecessary on any boat under about 42ft. Great for making kids swings though!
