are they going to make it back before it gets horrible out there?
-
^^ this what i was thinking. the rig in the water can be kinda sticky though
-
yeah someone's comment in another thread about 88s going for ~20 recently really brought home the reality of the current market.
-
i seem to recall that this topic comes up from time to time. I suspect there are some old threads to be found.
-
did you also put in a gps tracker so that we know which bays to avoid?!
-
i'd hazard a guess that increased costs are also a big factor. not as cheap to keep a piedy going as once it was.
-
ah i wondered what was going on down there. seemed like a lot more than the usual activity!
-
yeah i found the old thread actually. big mess. didn't see any blame attributed to CG, though...
-
still fairly unpleasant out there i should think. anybody want to shed some more light on the TW righting controversy?
-
wow. anybody know how they power the foil control? and all the rest, come to that. one guy doing a bit of cursory grinding occasionally isn't going to get you very far i shouldn't think.
-
i just mean that i hope their charity sale goes well. what their base price should be, i make no comment.
-
no offence, but I hope they get a lot more than 1500 for it!
-
getting distinctly blustery -- gusting 60 at tiri now. not an excuse for that event though.
-
personally i like the promenade, and the design seems reasonable. it's a nice space that can be used for more than just a car park.
-
Would make sense. A lot of sailing at displacement hull speed...
-
presumably that's why the dedicated chase boat is there.
-
yeah it'll be interesting to see the kite and frank. kite is fast but way lower.
-
they're looking good now, should lay through and doing ~ 20kts
-
can't say I'm terribly surprised. It definitely seems to be stuck up at times, too. On the whole, though, I'd say that the bridge does a pretty good job of allowing boaties and pedestrians to share.
-
if you secure it against your house, sure. an actual boat loan, though?
-
definitely. 10m berth + annual antifoul, what, maybe $8k? call it debt service on $80k?
-
I had a good experience having odd shapes cut, for a non-boat project, at modern plastics. They used to be at victoria park but seem to have moved out to ellerslie now. On the shore maybe psp plastics?
-
yikes. i guess that explains why the marinas always have such high $$ liability insurance requirements!
-
does look like a lot of space for the $. does suggest something about the condition, but I have no specific info on that front.
-
ha. that's a great mental image though. given everything else about that boat, i'm picking that the AP is bespoke/
