  1. Looked like 9 or thereabouts. Rather a lot of near-drifting boats with kites up as we went over the bridge this morning. Some drifting backwards with the tide, from the look of it...
  2. Surely that just depends on how you spec it. Hybrid cars can.
  3. Found on SA when I went looking. QLD apparently.
  4. I'd guess most electric yacht propulsion is hybrid with a genset for when the sun isn't shining. Would make a lot of sense for a new build, and if you weren't planning to motor for huge amounts of time.
  5. My understanding is that the threshold is quite low, too.
  6. There's an electric propulsion option I think. So maybe?
  7. https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/parks-recreation/stay-at-park/Pages/accommodation-details.aspx?itemID=54 According to the council it's potable, but also to boil it. Make of that what you will.
  8. Great. Hope there's a huge fleet, in contrast to anniversary day!
  9. It's interesting discussion in light of the other active thread about electrical fires. No option is perfectly safe of course!
  10. Presumably this means your insurance cover is not (technically) adequate for marina or haulout requirements?
  11. The recent news was about mains gas connections. The end of bottled gas is a (very) long way off.
  12. 1000w of solar on a cat in a sunny place, sure. You'd have to work pretty hard to get that kind of input on a mono in NZ.
  13. Interesting discussion. Induction hobs use so much juice compared with normal yacht electrics that I never would have dreamed of it. I would think a lot would depend on how much solar you can get, and thus how much charge you have to get off the engine.
  14. IOR design. http://www.farrdesign.com/51.html I'd guess they might be a little tender but haven't actually sailed one so I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will weigh in. Personally I'd look at a 1020 for a cruiser but might be out of budget.
