CarpeDiem 31 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 The boat has not budged in more than four days now, but a spokesman for Auckland's harbourmaster said as the vessel was not moving and was not leaking oil, it was not causing any issues. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/luxury-motor-yacht-remains-beached-in-auckland-harbour/DQGVOVJRKBPR6TG5ZNWQVDHMFM/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 75 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Some well known yachties drive those fleming launches, much easier on the eye than just another Riv. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 75 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 What no names of either launch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 197 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 There has been a spate of fires on yachts and launches over the last few months and not just older boats. Not sure what’s behind this but very sobering and worth re-checking: 1. Fire-fighting equipment onboard 2. Family fire-drill 3. At-anchor vs underway fire plan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
