onetangi fractionally closer i guess.

There are loads of less serious races where the kids would be welcome. I remember racing in DYC series where one of the other boats fell badly off the wind for a while on beat. Thought maybe they'd broken something. Talking to them later, they'd had to stop and make sandwiches for the kids...

pine harbour? unless you want to go back to matiatia. or maybe orapiu?
-
seems extremely unlikely that abandoned boats have current insurance
-
Very informative Elenya. Thanks. There are a lot of boats whose market value is well below their cost to scrap, then.

to answer my own question: it was fabulous. just a little easterly swell outside, perfectly calm inside. and a fabulous spot. 'twas a family cruise so was definitely looking for good/perfect rather than acceptable, and it was.
-
Can anyone comment on whangamumu in SW with easterly swell? e.g. forecast for +3 days from now. Obviously the SW part is good, just wondering if you'd expect the swell to come in and have you rolling around.

+1 for Bill Endean's Classic New Zealand Yachts. Lots of good information on older designs. Not that easy to find, but iirc the library had a copy. https://www.abebooks.com/first-edition/Classic-New-Zealand-Yachts-Four-Decades/16797217621/bd

looks great. now where did i put that spare half mil? not being able to go on a 12m berth would be a little unfortunate in akl i'd think
-
Yes tidal volume approx 500 ml. You'd have to work out the volume of your tube, but of course a skinny little one isn't going to be easy to breathe through either!
-
i'd be interested to hear. looks like a lot of bad options.
-
there's an old thread somewhere. i seem to recall the west coast getting more votes.
-
i doubt it's worthwhile in that pricerange and in the current market. given duty and gst, you'd be looking at plus, you can get a whole lot of boat here at the moment as prices seem to have dipped significantly.
-
agree that the akarana book is good, but depth may be an issue in places if 3.2 draft is correct. the authors assume you can get in a lot further than that!

+1

thanks, will hope it's still there!
-
Yeah there's definitely water at opua, but as you say, would rather not go all the way in.
-
Probably a little lacking in cruising amenities too for that size. But yes looks a deal.
-
Can anyone confirm if there's still water available at the wharf in Te Hue bay? My copy of the RAYC handbook says there is, but as it's getting a bit older I just wanted to check and see that was still the case...
-
ok yes i somehow misread the original thinking only vendor and agent involved; yes if buyer is involved too then makes sense.
-
how? surely they can't change what the buyer pays?
-
mission bay

independent of the main point here, i really hope you've misplaced some zeros in those running costs!
