  1. we had good experiences with lumley marine. do you already have a mooring? there may be issues around mooring location and specific insurers, too. iirc, lumley wouldn't insure in okahu bay (5 years ago anyhow).
  2. impressive. not sure about the "cruiser" bit though.
  3. Ugh. That mooring area has some drawbacks, but I hadn't consider that particular risk!
  4. hm. dunno. thieves in a hurry might well leave just such a trail.
  5. don't the monos have foils now too?
  6. maybe. but that would slow them down a lot moving around the boat, which is (i'm sure) why they don't.

    certainly lots of political parties *think* they have an answer to the globalisation of labour intensive industries. (perhaps none moreso than mr trump). actually having an answer is a different thing altogether.
  8. i've not seen them off the bays this time. for the previous edition they were here a lot.
  9. I haven't heard the story this time. Just seen the fundraising call for repairs...
  10. you could get what's left of waitangi's if you want a serious flagpole!

  12. it does seem to be impressively bad, even for the herald. the original article just said "yachts", with no photos or description. that made it seem like something newsworthy could conceivably have happened. it was just hard to believe they were really writing about capsized dinghies in a squall!

  14. doh. i reckon the overall displacement might have been ok, just the loading was, ahem, a touch unbalanced.
  15. trysail in 5 kts doesn't cut it for you?
  16. Tidal atlas for the Hauraki Gulf and Greater Cook Straight, ed: R Garrett. I also only have high tide to high tide + 5. I think the idea is to reverse the charts for the incoming cycle?
  17. i would think 25' minimum for 4 people for those periods. not sure that 15k will get you a decent TS in that range, though a quick look at trademe suggests it's not impossible. i'm sure others will weigh in on specific models.
  18. how long are you planning to be out? e.g. day sailing, overnight, week-long?
  19. Brett gets such good recommendations on here that I've been tempted to buy a yamaha just to be able to take it to him...
  20. slick. will be interesting to see if they can do it in anger in two weeks.
