Sail Rock 13 Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Great story, thank you for sharing. (I don’t think I would attempt any of the west coast harbour entrances without someone with excellent local knowledge on board!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have only crossed the Manukau Bar once in a fizz boat. On way out no issues, coming in.1/2 tide dropping sw 10knts.Hmm thought much rather enter Tutukaka in a 20knt easterly. No desire to venture across a bar again. Was in a 6m ali with 150hp and wave/swell still pushing us side ways. Can see why C/G maybe concerned at 5knts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
