yeah i reckon depth transducer mounted in a bath. maybe just water.

ditto on blocking the centreboard case. and the seal has to be fairly good!

there's nothing in this thread to discourage buyers, really. yes, there are lots of sellers complaining, but that's just because it's a buyer's market!

Though I like the idea, I suspect a lot of "crew" would spend a lot more time at work in Wynyard Quarter than actually sailing...

also milford, depending on what you draw?

If you really want to see a waste of money in action i.e millions! then make some enquiries about the footbridge over Wairau creek at the sill of the marina. Just so the poor darlings from downtrodden castor bay dont have to walk another 400m to the beach!
i have to say i'm a bit torn over this one. it certainly would be nice if a reasonable compromise could be found. it's a lot more than 400m to go around, and having lived nearby for 4 months now i still haven't seen a boat going in or out of milford marina...

aside from whether or not it's allowed, anywhere close to the city that's outside of a marina is going to be subject to all the fast ferry/container ship/etc wakes going past at all hours. they can be fairly unpleasant just folding up the sails, much less living aboard. i suppose it depends on what you're used to, though.
-
are there places other than the marinas where it's actually allowed? i'd always been under the impression that living aboard outside the marinas was illegal, if occasionally tolerated.

left unattended to drift onto the reef???

what happened?
Maybe I want a Catamaran, what do you guys think?

Ok, so a little bit of devil's advocate: that's going to leave an awful lot of conditions in which you can't go sailing, and the forecasts just aren't that reliable...
