  1. There's a reason everything has gone li-ion these days.
  2. then you couldn't come to NZ!
  3. maybe at high tide. but then you'd probably be responsible for it!
  4. what's happening to the devonport haul out facilities?
  5. wow. the listed rig and sail costs certainly make for sobering reading, imagining the maintenance bills...
  6. 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).
  7. The start is a big draw for me. And Mark Foy would still be biased if the wind changed during the starting period.
  8. Forecast for the start looks fabulous, from a spectator's perspective anyhow. I expect a viewing position on torpedo bay wharf will be entertaining.
  9. 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.
  11. Does seem unlikely. Too bad, as it would be better not to be unloading the cars there.
  12. I would think so. But then you've got to get it to and from the ferry, and without a trailer... ?
  13. Hm. Without access to a road trailer? Probably not a lot of good, cheap options.
  14. huh. I find it hard to believe that nobody here knows!
  15. huh. seems a little unlikely that she could get there from 60 nm east of barrier, but i suppose it's possible.
  16. Totally agree. I love sailing. I love racing. But would I be keen for my kids to get into the jnr racing scene as it currently is? Nah.
  17. ah. sorry. yes, great plan!
  18. don't follow. leave AKL thursday afternoon. when are you imagining arriving in TGA, with a Friday midday start?
  19. so.... you have to have an engine that can actually move the boat at a decent speed, and enough fuel to use said engine to get out of trouble. sounds onerous!
