Kawau Race week is looking to join in with Squaddie night race, that is being worked on now. But there will be a band!
Was postponed due to the extreme winds on Saturday night blowing straight into Bon Accord
Will the race up be part of the series Tom? What about boats from out of town that want to come up, can we still join in?
-
Yeah it was pretty fresh but we were nicely tucked up stern tied under some cliffs in a 7 boat raft up. We pulled our 2 boats (Rogue 3 and rhe kids little 8m race boat) away a bit for the worst part just to be safe.
Lots of rain and some white squalls further out in fitzroy.
We moved as soon as it shifted and rafted up in stony bay to avoid the northerly.

Not sure if this link works. My boat Playlist. Long enough you can go for a week or so without hearing the same song. Almost like radio.

Is that up the canals at gulf harbour.

Dairy Flat Caltex does gas fills it but only before 5pm when they have 2 people there. Always pays to ring them to double check before turning up.

Tarus logistics website has a good capture on what the likely taxes are but they say if we don't have a free trade agreement with the country of manufacture then its likely to be 5 % duty plus GST . If that's not draconian enough they add the freight cost and insurance e.g by way of example say $200K boat, plus $25,000 freight, plus $5000 insurance it seems you would pay 20% of $230,000 ! ferk thats $46,000 down the gurgler., brutal.
In fact its even worse than that, they add the 5% duty on first and then add the 15% gst to that total. Tax on tax.
200k+25k+5k =230
230k+5%= 241.5k
241.5k + 15% =277.7k
$47.7k to inport

Incredible that after years of putting their hands in the their pockets, looking the other way, pretending there was nothing they could do - resulting in giant divisions with 40 boats - someone on the new committee has shown some initiative, adjusted the cutoffs, and evened up the divisions. Well done SSANZ!!
Wow, quote of the year Andrew. Do you actually think we sit around with our hands in our pockets looking the other way?
Remember we as a SSANZ committee are just enthusiastic sailors trying to juggle life, work, kids and putting on amazing events for you in what little spare time we have.

Hey knowledgeable people I'm planning a longish coastal passage on my 9m yacht and looking to get the boat up to cat 2 and starting to think about Ais, what are your suggestions on a simple ais set up? Do I need a reciever or just the transmitter? my current plotter is an old navman 550 so I'm thinking of going for a dedicated tablet with open cpn and will also have starlink so battery usage is an important consideration. What say you?
Are you bringing the chilli sauce up for a northern tour or further south?

They have a few days ago I believe.
She's an interesting character that's for sure. Had plans to do the longest ever solo passage without stopping, needed to be 3 years or something at sea to break the record.

Friends of pur saw the boat in Fitzroy a few days ago.
Storm in a teacup.

I can't find many specs for the Nova 28 online or in my database right now but I would think I could supply both a main and genoa in Tri Dacron for around 5k.
If you have any basic dimensions then I can price it up properly for you or if the boat is in Auckland I could come down and measure it up then quote.

Looking at the rudder setup I would think that the blades would need to be all the way down to have the correct balance with enough blade forward of the rudders pivot point. Half rudder would make most of the blade being behind the pivot point and a huge load on the helm.
Hard to tell from the photos but it looks like the centreboards have some angle aft? Again the centreboard depth makes a big difference as you need the centre of effort/lateral resistance of the boat to be in the right place in relation to the sail plan and not enough centreboard blade makes the rudder work as the lateral resistance which loads it up.
Mainsail shape is also a big player. A really deep draft aft high road main will overload the helm. A taller, skinny, flatter small square head main with the draft in the right position and using your rotating wing mast to create the depth when needed might make a big difference. And again a headsail with no entry/shape forward and all the draft aft also puts the sails effort quite far aft loading the helm.
It's all got to work in harmony.
I'm just up the river from you in Stillwater and out and about in my dinghy all the time (usually towing kids in sailing dinghys and beach catamarans around). Happy to come down and have a look with you sometime to see if we can suss out the issue and possible solution. I'm a sailmaker and ex multihull sailor so can have a look at the sailplan and sheeting angles ect.
I have the 45ft Jeanneau just past the Stillwater wharf called Rogue 3.

You really think so? Looks like he's getting hung out to dry pretty badly to me... Just got caught to far to windward and couldn't sail low enough to get back in touch.

If you are talking about the ST4000 tiller drive that goes with the EV100 then no you can't really steer the boat with it attached.
It will move a small amount but not enough to actually steer a boat properly.

It's an old Grand Mistral 80 race boat that's been converted to a cruiser. They livebon board and are just saving on marina fees.
Pretty sure they have a container or some kind of storage setup at gulf harbour somewhere and bring the dinghy in there often.
He's not an easy guy to deal with.

Interesting, I had no idea the river was navigable that far up. Guess some local knowledge helps. What a cool place. Great spot for an active fisherman.
Alot to be said for ditching marina berth rates right now...
We live on a river too(Weiti) Our wharf isn't deep enough for a decent yacht but ok for a small keeler or launch. We have our boat on a mooring about 50m from the wharf. Plenty of water in the main channel. We had our Ross 1066 out there at 2.4m draft.
