Nice. Would be worrying if your zillion dollar boat wasn't faster than a nacra 17 though!
-
it you want cheap, there's plenty out there -- but as above, much is crap.
-
Our night-rate EV power is ~11c/kwh, and some areas are lower. But you're right that it's not $2 (but still way less than ~$100 for petrol).
-
Ah yes, the old finance committee problem. I think we all know and understand that one.
-
Yes, but you can make it from water+electricity -- unlike diesel. Turning 'naki gas into hydrogen doesn't make a lot of sense, but you could certainly use all of that spare electricity down south if the smelter stops using it.

There's a reason everything has gone li-ion these days.
-
then you couldn't come to NZ!
-
maybe at high tide. but then you'd probably be responsible for it!
-
what's happening to the devonport haul out facilities?
-
wow. the listed rig and sail costs certainly make for sobering reading, imagining the maintenance bills...
-
Thanks!

Yes I'm disappointed that no video of the north head carnage has emerged. I suspected that it would be good to watch in the forecast conditions, but didn't realise that the torpedo bay wharf was closed and so couldn't get a good look (by the time I realised it was closed it was too late to get up to the top of nth head).
-
The start is a big draw for me. And Mark Foy would still be biased if the wind changed during the starting period.
-
Forecast for the start looks fabulous, from a spectator's perspective anyhow. I expect a viewing position on torpedo bay wharf will be entertaining.
-
First rule of consulting, isn't it? First, work out what the client wants you to find...
-
Interesting. I do wonder, though, how much game playing there is in these first boats, e.g. showing things that the teams have no intention of actually doing.

Plan B for Auckland wharf area, no need for mooring Dolphins ?

Does seem unlikely. Too bad, as it would be better not to be unloading the cars there. -
I would think so. But then you've got to get it to and from the ferry, and without a trailer... ?
-
Hm. Without access to a road trailer? Probably not a lot of good, cheap options.
-
huh. I find it hard to believe that nobody here knows!
-
Yes I'll join as well please.
-
that's... worrying?

huh. seems a little unlikely that she could get there from 60 nm east of barrier, but i suppose it's possible.
