Eeek. Shelter and survive? 

[Public/Club moorings Auckland north?]

The newest edition is getting on now too. I guess the regular updates stopped? Doesn't matter for most things but some like stores and water availability do change. 

[Public/Club moorings Auckland north?]

Pickmere is north of BoI only?

[We're screwed]

Milford is looking a lot tidier these days, but still tidal access and depth limited. And tricky to impossible in a big NE. But I agree that mooring costs are prohibitive for smaller (cheaper) boats, it doesn't make a lot of sense to have a $20k boat that costs $10k/year to keep in the marina. 

[We're screwed]

Orakei only has a fairly small number of 12m?

How many years in a row have been sh*t weather now?

[Seized Volvo D1-20 Saildrive, low hours]

Wow. Maybe pick up a lotto ticket along with that celebratory g&t!

You might have to if they cant fix the damage in time, apparently the stern fell off but they recovered it before it left the environment. Perhaps they will borrow from F1 and deploy a pace boat to slow the field allowing on water marshals to clear debris  and recover damaged boats before racing recommences

F1 is their model, more or less.

[Have Your Say on Caulerpa and the CAN Notices!]

Oh I don't doubt that it's there, and I'm not proposing ignoring the rules. It's just hard to see how those corners are really lower risk, rather than expedient. 

[Have Your Say on Caulerpa and the CAN Notices!]

It's a little hard to make sense of those zones in tryphena tbh, in terms of how the risk could possibly be different across those lines.

I witnessed a large no of people fishing in the Motukawao island HPA over New Year , How was anchoring around Port Fitzroy ??

Anchoring in Fitzroy is allowed, just not Tryphena or broken islands?

[No Boats?]

I'm sure the forecast 35kt put a dent in the numbers yesterday. That said I was surprised how quiet things were over xmas. 

[Seized Volvo D1-20 Saildrive, low hours]

I'd guess timing failure but let's hope for something else? Separating gearbox and engine seems reasonable to me but others will know much more.

Changes aim to bring keelboats back to Auckland Anniversary Day Regatta • Live Sail Die

[A class worlds]

Glad to hear they pulled it off. Quite a big undertaking for a small club that doesn't run many regattas! 

[Vava'u]

Does anyone know more about the demise and (possible) return of a charter fleet in Vava'u?

It's something I've always wanted to do. Getting a boat set up for the passage is a whole different thing. 

[Have Your Say on Caulerpa and the CAN Notices!]

Yeah those. Would be quite nice if doc and mpi could get together and make one easy-to-read map!

[Have Your Say on Caulerpa and the CAN Notices!]

Unhelpfully there are still CANs in place which are not part of that system and not on that map. 

[Survey costs]

$60/min travel charge would get serious very quickly around Auckland! 

[37th AC]

How could this happen? Boat on port just seems oblivious, or unable to bear away? 

[Boat sale contract]

Personally I'd hesitate to use GPT's version without careful checking. Superficially it does the job, sure, but I'd lack confidence that the important details are correct. I don't have the expertise in this area, but that's often the case in areas where I do.

[37th AC]

As long as you mean crashes, yes sailgp has 'action'. If you mean interesting sailing? Not so sure.

[Shaw 10.5]

Even just in a marina it must be a little bit interesting. Cool though. 

[According to my phone Surfs Up]

When that finally happens, everyone will have turned off the notifications after getting fed up with nothing announcements while you're asleep.

[37th AC]

Oh. That's disappointing.
