hen I signed up for 2014 Yamaha Melanoma Foundation Ski-nZ, it was
more about the chance to adventure around the part of the country I
love the best than for altruistic reasons. The overall mantel of saving
lives from melanoma was a bonus, sure, but my premier motivation
was the personal challenge.
And it delivered. Raising money way, way out of my comfort zone
to ask people to donate money when I was going to have the fun. Sorting through
gear lists, rules and requirements as the credit card sighed and broke out a sweat.
The two big ones: raising my level of physical fitness albeit in a rather late sprint in
which I discovered my personal trainer did have a sense of humour, but only at my
expense and facing my own fears around melanoma so I would stop postponing
the next mole check, despite being a reasonably high risk for skin cancer. As for the
fears that I might die/get injured/fall off/be eaten by a shark well, I had to face
those, too. See the story on page 34.
Once I was riding my Yamaha Waverunner personal watercraft with 24 other,
more genuinely motivated souls, I truly understood what we were achieving.
New Zealand is such a fun country in which to adventure, especially for boaties, so
it makes sense to avoid a disease like melanoma if you can. More than 300 people
die in New Zealand every year from the disease; 90 per cent of those deaths are
avoidable, with regular checks from skin specialists. Dont rely on your GP no
disrespect to GPs, but Ive heard so many stories over the last few months along the
lines of: He asked his GP about the mole and was told not to worry
That happened to Jeremy Burfoot who, with his wife Manola, spearheaded
Yamaha Melanoma Foundation Ski-nZ. In its second year, it is the Melanoma
Foundations biggest fund raiser and the event this year raised more than $90,000.
Jeremy had a mole misdiagnosed as nothing to worry about by a GP several
years ago. Several painful treatments later, he knew he had dodged a bullet and
determined to help others do the same. Make it worth his while: see www.ski-nz.org

Happy boating,

THE SUPER TENDERS

Uncle Tom
I HAVE JUST READ Harold Kidds Vintage
Perspectives, March 2014. There was so much
that none of us knew about our grandfather;
my grandmother seldom mentioned him. Also I
had no idea what an important part Uncle Tom
[Townson] played in WJQs boating.
Since the article, many stories have been
told by various family members and many
remembered. Something that has been said more
than once is what a pity it wasnt written 10 years
ago Laurel and my father would have loved to
have been involved.
Among the family stories that were told
came one originally from Uncle Tom. He sailed
to San Francisco and missed his 21st birthday
because they crossed the international date
line and lost that day.
When I was at school we were taught that
the reason some sailing ships disappeared,
never to be seen again, was because they
carried cargoes such as wheat which moved in
a storm, causing the ship to roll under on its
side. Uncle Tom said it had almost happened
to him. There was a storm, the man at the
wheel went to sleep, the ship keeled over and
the captain, who was asleep, was thrown out
of his bunk. He was able to right the ship with
the help of other crew members just as it was
about to go under.
Another story he told me was that he applied
for a position crewing a sailing ship and was told
that a crew member was sick and if he didnt
recover in time the job would be his. The man did
recover, the ship sailed and was never seen again.

Dear Boating...
BOATING NEW
ZEALAND included
an item about the
Adventurer lifejacket in
the March 2014 edition
(page 22). Where can I
learn more about this
and why 50 Newtons
is important?
A R Branson
Thanks
MANY THANKS
FOR including the
match racing nationals
in the March issue.
These types of reports
really help our class

bonus of seeing young

KIWI YACHTING REPLIES: Functional
buoyancy aids are approved to 50N standard.
This means that a buoyancy aid will keep you
aoat with a good margin of safety but will
not turn you onto the safe back position or
support your head.Therefore 50N products
are suitable only for swimmers and for
persons weighing more than 25kg.Those who
weigh less than 25kg or who are not able to
swim should use a lifejacket.

The continuing lifejacket debate...
ON THE WHOLE I agree with your comments
on the new by-law about lifejackets. I have just
made a submission as a result of your alerting
me to the process.
However, I do think two points need
emphasis. Small dinghies in transit between
boats or between boats and the shore are to
be exempt. This is important and should be
supported.
I think the main ground for objection to
the law relates to boats at anchor in sheltered
waters. In your recent Editorial you paint this
picture in relation to a possible future scenario.
I wonder whether this is not the key point
upon which all boaties need to unite. We should
not be asked to wear lifejackets when at anchor
for the evening in a sheltered bay. I think the
argument about small boats under way and close
to a friendly shore is less secure.
I do support your point that education is the
way to go, but my concern is that we might lose
the whole game if we dont focus on what really
matters. I actually do wear a lifejacket when
under way and I think this mostly makes sense.
I would hate to have to wear one at anchor
in a sheltered bay whatever size the boat. The
stupid thing about that is that I tend to swim off
the boat anyway, under these circumstances.
It will be interesting to see how this works out.
Alan Merry, Glendowie
I HAVE JUST READ your column in the
current issue and totally agree with your
comments regarding lifejackets.
I have a 15m launch and am now required to
have everyone on board wearing a lifejacket as I
cross the Tairua Bar even when it is at calm.
Then we have the Waikato Regional Council
harbour master who over Christmas was agging
down boats as they crossed the bar and advising
everyone they had to wear lifejackets, otherwise
face a $200 ne per person. Stopping vessels
crossing the bar tells a lot about his boating
skills and I see one person drowned in 2012 while
crossing a bar. When conditions are suspect, I
require all passengers to wear lifejackets but I
can make that call.
Below is a link to drowning statistics
for New Zealand which makes interesting
reading. The greatest causes of drowning in
this countryappear to be people swimming at
beaches or crossing rivers and males are the
biggest offenders.
Surely the simple solution for our politicians
would be to make it compulsory for all male
swimmers and river crossers to wear lifejackets.
You could have a eld day with this information.

statistics/

THE LATEST COPY of your magazine has
arrived and is currently being read and reread (and
then stored for later rereading in a year or so) and
I have to comment on the Editorial and the letter
from Warren Thorburn. I unreservedly support the
sentiments presented by both parties.
It is without doubt a vexing issue but I
doubt that a simple by-law is going to x the
problem because many wont wear lifejackets
and enforcement will become an ever-increasing
problem. When was the last time we saw the
harbour master in a bay enforcing the speed
limit or the use of PWCs in inappropriate
areas?The consequences for others from both
these could be dire.
Is dishing out tickets for not wearing a
lifejacket really going to work? Walking across
a busy street is my choice and going to sea on
any given day is my choice, as is the wearing
of a lifejacket. I would suggest swimming in a
crowded bay is more hazardous than going for a
row in a dinghy without a lifejacket.
Nigel Lancaster, Thames
GREAT MAGAZINE I especially enjoyed
the man overboard article. Did he have a
lifejacket on? Bet if he didnt, he wished he
had. More importantly, I am sure that the lady
rescuing him wished he had. She did an excellent
job of not losingsight of him. How much easier
to see him in a jacket.
I think there are already maritime rules
on wearing a jacket so why is Auckland
Councilpassing a by-law? I dont really think that
wearing a jacket will make the next generation
misjudge the risks. As a country we have one
of the highest, if not the highest, drowning
records, due to misjudging the risks. [This is not
correct Editor.]
Everyone on our boat wears a jacket when
under way and I dont even notice mine being
on. We once struck 60-knot winds, more than
three-metre seas and three willi-willis in a row
when the water whirled in the wind like big
round bales of hay. We were in a Noelex 22 and
had the windows under a couple of times.
I just remembered that rough seas and bad
weather conditions might be one of the rules. I
dont think people with their heads screwed on
need the council to tell themto put a lifejacket
on. A child in and around water and boats
without one is a disaster waiting to happen. For
those who are not convinced a jacket is a good
idea, try tying a rope around your waistand
jumping in with all your clothes on and see how
long you can stay up in the water. Which proves
your point that the most important piece of
safety equipment is ourselves.
It would be great if more boaties would do a
Boat Masters Course, or at least a Day Skipper
one. Bit scary out there on a starboard tack
when you dont know if the boatie on the port
tack knows who gives way.
Jenny McPhee

Seventeen boats took part in the third round of the 2014
season at Maraetai, February 22.
Prooors with Wayne Valder and Chris Hanley is the
only Superboat racing this season, but Superboat Lite
entrantArarimuFree Range (Mike Fletcher and John Shand)
gave them a run for their money.
The lack of noise from theSuperboatsis more than made
up for by Classic class entries this season. The Classic class
comprises mostly older boats, speed-restricted to 80mph
(128.75kph). Four boats raced, but eventually Fletch with T
Fletcher and S Martin took overall line honours.
NZ Home Loans #9 with Mike Urquhart and Nick
Campbell were running neck and neck with eventual Sports
200 class winner Triple Trouble. Its crew, MarkTaiatini and
Alex Smith, were thrown from their boat after hitting a
wake. Suffering only bruised egos, they swam back, scrambled
aboard and took off again. CRD Automotive, with father and
son team Colin and Corey Dunn, took overall second place in
their class.
NZ Home Loans #16, with ChrisHaeger, Sharaand Jamie
Carson, took out rst place in Sports 150 class. Charlotte and
Tony Carson took second place driving Red Steel.
In race one of Round Four at Paihia in the Bay of
Islands on March 1, Superboat Lite entrant, Espresso
Engineers was rst past the start, followed bythe bat boats
SupercockRacing and Outboard Pro. ProFloors, the sole
Superboat, came from behind to take the lead, followed
into second place byArarimuFree Range. After a great
tussle between Espresso Engineers andArarimuFree Range,
Ararimuprevailed in race two.
In the 17-boat, 60-mile competition, SupercockRacing
retired, allowingOutboard Pro crewed by H and D Spiers to
win both races in the Sports 300 class.
The four Classic class entrants entertained the crowds at
Paihia while Chindit with Peter and Kane Wingate, in a eld of
its own, saw out two races, despite spinning out on the home
straight. Chindit is the only Sports 225 class competitor. There
were just two competitors in the Sports 150 class atPaihia,
D&H Steel and NZ Home Loans #16, with Chris Haeger & Jono
Hanley, with the latter taking the honours for the day.

SPINDRIFT II IS the biggest
and fastest racing yacht on the
planet. In 2012, under the name
Banque Populaire V, she set the
record for a lap of the world in a
whisker over 45 days, averaging
19.75 knots. Her triple bows are
now aimed at destroying the eet
in a solo race across the Atlantic
and she requires a bit of tinkering.
Like adding a bike.
Her new skipper, Yann Guichard,
will have to wrestle the 140-foot
trimaran normally crewed by
14 alone. Tasks such as steering
and trimming sails will not be vastly
different for him yet the winches,
which must be powered by human
energy, pose a mountainous
obstacle. He will be turning the
winch handles alone so must use an
extremely low gear, often grinding
for minutes at a time.
With physical trainers and
the design team at his side, Yann
underwent a series of tests on an
exercise bike which determined
that using his legs to power the
winches would be more efcient
than using his arms alone.
Designer Edward Touchard says
the idea is to alternate between
the arms and the legs: There are
manoeuvres that are quite long,
especially hoisting sails, winching
them in and reeng, so Yann can
alternate when he is tired.
The bike has been modied to
make it easier to use on the boat.
It is xed to the cockpit oor with
sturdy carbon legs and the cross-
bar has been removed to make it
easier for Yann to get astride while
wearing wet-weather gear.
He will change the gear
ratio depending on how hard
he can push, says Touchard.
For example, the effort when
hoisting a sail is not the same as
when raising the foils, and he can
quickly change the gear ratios
accordingly.
Edward Touchard with the bicycle power
he helped develop for grinding winches
on Spindrift II.

SAILING AROUND THE world is
considered one of the greatest challenges
mariners can face. But what about from
top to bottom?
Peter Edington, an RYA yachtmaster
instructor with more than 50,000 ocean
miles beneath his keel, will skipper a
yacht that will sail some of the most
challenging and some of the most waters
on the planet. Beginning in early 2015,
they will follow the sun from the worlds
southernmost city, Ushuaia in Argentina,
north to Hammerfest, Norway, 400 miles
inside the Arctic Circle.
The 60-foot yacht and its crew will
face Cape Horn and retrace the Viking
route from Ireland to Arctic Norway as
well as cruise through the Caribbean.
They plan to leave New Zealand for
a one-month journey to Ushuaia before
they complete the Shackleton centenary
leg from South Georgia back to Ushuaia in early 2015.
Reckon youre game? Edington is looking for likely lads and lasses to
join his crew on all legs of this amazing adventure.

IN A BID to restore the health of the Hauraki
Gulf, the Revive Our Gulf project aims to
rebuild the sub-tidal green-lipped mussel
beds that once ourished on soft sediments
throughout much of the Firth of Thames
and Tamaki Strait. The beds were extensively
dredged between 1910 and 1960 and the
damaged and denuded areas did not recover,
being replaced by barren muds.
Mussels were donated by North Island Mussels
Ltd for the creation of seven living-room-sized trial
plots in a sheltered bay off eastern Waiheke Island.
The group has partnered with the University of
Auckland and two students are studying the trial
plots for their doctorate work.
Project research director Dr Shane Kelly
says initial results are encouraging. The
mussels have matted together and, despite
some expected predation by snapper and
starsh, they are functioning as a reef. Fish
like triplens and spotties, starsh and
invertebrates are colonising the beds and
making them home, in stark contrast to the
surrounding barren sea oor.
Mussels are powerful lter feeders. A single
mussel is capable of passing a bathtub of water a
day through its gills. In their original, natural state
they covered 500km
2
and played a signicant
role in maintaining water quality and providing
sh habitat in the Gulf.
Revive Our Gulf Chairman John Laurence says
the group has planned partnerships with mussel
farms to utilise reject mussels further eld. The
project has received nancial support from the
Outboard Boating Club, the Hauraki Gulf Forum,
Auckland Council and private donors.

FOR MOST OF the country, Cyclone Lusi
was barely the storm in the proverbial teacup.
But for Peter Caughey, defending Superboat
champion, the elevated winds were enough to
end any hopes of winning round four of the
New Zealand Jetsprints.
Caughey had set the fastest time in the
penultimate knockout stage at Hastings, then
made a spectacular exit from the podium
round when his boat deed the track limits
and gravity. Hastings is not an easy track at the
best of time, he says. It took four laps before
I had enough condence to reallyattack
the trackwith consistent ow rather than
feathering the throttle, though the boat was
still setting fastest times.
In the top ve, Caughey was the only
racer to go under 46 seconds, with a45.94.
The racers had had problems with visibility
earlier in the day but in the nal round
everything came unstuck. We were banging
through therelooking for a mid-45 and just
couldntsee, says Caughey. When the spray
cleared we wereabout to hit.
We launched out of thewater, shot off
the track backwards and helicoptered for so
long that I switched themotor off and hit the
isolation switch before we landed in a sprayof
grassy mud. The crowd went wild and wewon
a greenstone trophy for the mostspectacular
exit, but I dont want another one.
Fortunately the hull was barely damaged
and Caugheys ENZED team is already
makingplans for round ve, to be held under
lights in Whanganui on April 5.
Graeme Hill went on to win the round,
leaving Caughey in second place overall for
the season.
POWER DRILLS WILL buzz, saws will cut
and bows will take shape at the Marine Trades
Challenge in Auckland on April 5. The annual
event, organised by NZ Marine ITO, brings
together teams of four apprentices and boat
builders to compete under pressure at what
they do best building boats. Teams can build
to a supplied design or to their own, which must
have been approved by NZ Marine ITO prior to
the event.
Based at NZMI House, Westhaven Drive,
Auckland, the MTC has become a family day
out for friends of the competing companies,
delivering a blend of entertainment and
education in boat building as the teams create
their craft in two hours. The boats are then
launched for a two-lap, two-heat regatta
under paddle, sail and power with not all
competitors making it to the nish.

Boat review: Stabicraft 2050 Supercab
STOPPER
SHOW
Words by John Eichelsheim Photos by Will Calver
...newly designed Arrow
Pontoons with a ner
entry, softened shoulders
and modied chines.
S
tabicrafts first new model release for 2014 incorporates the
Invercargill manufacturers latest advances, including Arrow
Pontoons and Game Chaser Transom. This is the boat, in a
package worth more than $100,000, that will go home with one
lucky visitor to this years Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show.
The new 2050 takes its design cues from the 1850
Supercab. Like the 1850, the 2050 Supercab has a short forward cabin
to maximise cockpit space. A redesigned hull incorporates Arrow
Pontoons with a finer entry, softened shoulders and modified chines.
Stabicraft has achieved these changes by completely redesigning the
old pontoons.
The new pontoon shape, along with changes to the hull, have
dramatically improved ride quality without compromising the
benefits of safety and stability at rest that Stabicrafts life ring
pontoons have always provided.
The new 2050 Supercab also features Stabicrafts Game Chaser
Transom, already familiar from some larger Supercab models, as well
as the smaller 1850 Supercab and 1650 Fisher. The design provides
superior safety and directional control in reverse; the live bait tank and
bait station are better designed than the old 2050 Supercabs.
Boating New Zealand went aboard the prize Stabicraft the day
after Yamaha bolted on the F115 four-stroke. The boat is impossible
to miss: its Tangerine Scream paint job covered in sponsor decals
leaps off the water. It was bright even in the pre-dawn gloom
as we eased the boat out of Westhaven, hoping to catch some
early-morning photographers light and maybe a snapper or two.
According to Stabicraft, the new 2050 Supercab isnt just an updated version
of the outgoing 2050 its a completely new boat from the keel up.

Yamaha had spent the previous day setting up the engine, adjusting its height and changing
propellers; the boat performed faultlessly.
DRIVER COMFORT
The Boat Show 2050 Supercab is fitted with a range of optional factory extras/upgrades,
including Elite bolster seats. These swivelling, fully upholstered seats with storage pockets are
mounted on aluminium bases cantilevered off the boats sides. They are adjustable fore and
aft, but not for height. I like bolster seats because I prefer to drive standing up. The foldaway
bolster gives good back support while the low cabin bulkhead is the perfect height to use as a
footrest when driving sitting down.
The passenger seat is identical, but surrounded by plenty of grab rails; additional seating
is provided by a pair of multi-purpose, fold-down rear corner seats. Covered in the same
rugged, non-slip Z-Grip used to protect the transom step-over areas, they serve also as
shelves/work areas and as steps when getting in and out of the cockpit over the transom.
When not required they fold up out of the way, protecting the contents of the transom shelves
and allowing access into the transom corners.
The Supercabs interior is lined in grey acrylic fabric and the dashboard and instrument
console are non-glare, black powder-coated aluminium, matching the colours in what
Stabicraft calls the kid zone. This is the area inside the forward cabin, big enough for kids to
lie down in. There is quite a bit of space under the squabs and room for a toilet, though youd
want a curtain for privacy, plus there is a useful section of cutaway coaming forming a shelf
where lifejackets can be stored. A hatch in the forward bulkhead gives access to the anchor
locker, fed by a Maxwell RC-6 capstan.
Access to the bow with its minimal foredeck, heavy-duty bow rail and Sarca anchor is
around the hardtop, but going around the outside is not an issue, thanks to Stabicrafts inherent

FINE FOR FISHERS
I was impressed with the Game Chaser Transom as we reversed the
boat using plenty of throttle. The underwater profile provides lift to the
stern, so the boat doesnt bury its bum when motoring in reverse. Its
an excellent safety feature and something serious anglers, especially
trailerboat game fishers, should appreciate.
Theres lots more to like about the Game Chaser Transom. On the
shorter 1850, with its smaller cockpit, its almost too large, but on
the 2050 it fits the space well. The window-fronted bait tank holds
more than 65 litres, circulated via a pump when the boats at rest or a
through-hull venturi system when its underway. Both work well, the
venturi almost too well, filling the tank faster than it can drain, but
fine-tuning the flow using the ball valve will help this.
The swim platforms either side of the engine pod are more than
wide enough for boarding and disembarking and for dispatching and
Tangerine Scream
T
he Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show Gate Prize
Stabicraft 2050 is unmissable with its Tangerine
Scream paint nish, applied using product supplied
by PPG Industries. Tangerine Scream also adorned the
2013 Ford Focus.
Based in Mt Wellington, Auckland, PPG Industries has a
reputation for quality products and innovative technology.
It manufactures and supplies a broad range of high
performance protective and decorative coatings for wood,
general industrial, coil-coating and marine applications.
The Stabicraft 2050 featured here is painted in PPGs GRS
(Global Renish System), specially formulated to resist high
levels of environmental and chemical wear. Its a base coat
plus clear system that offers outstanding all-round paint
performance. Stabicraft Marine has used PPG paint systems
on its boats for many years.

retrieving divers. The sturdy boarding ladder is on the port side.
A black HPDE baitboard large enough for filleting duties forms
the lid of the bait tank with knife slots at the rear. Across the back of
the transom bait station a pair of rod holders and a couple of sinker/
cup holders complement four aluminium through-coaming rod
holders and six additional cup/sinker holders along the coamings
and beside the front seats. Full-length side pockets and an eight-
position rocket launcher provide additional rod storage.
Below the bait tank, a locker contains the boats batteries, all
neatly fitted with tidy wiring; the whole unit is clear of the floor. The
cockpit drains to a sump along the centreline right aft under the
transom. Its easy enough to access and contains the bait tank, bilge
pumps and Jabsco deck wash pumps, plus the valves.
The cockpit is an impressive size. The chequerplate floor should
be easy to clean and the boats generous gunwale heights are good
for fishing and safety, though Stabicrafts hull design doesnt provide
toe room. I didnt find it much of an issue, perhaps because the
gunwales are slightly inboard of the hull seam. I do like the Wing
Coamings, Stabicrafts name for the new, wide coaming style, topped
with non-slip rubber for comfort and security.
The Accu-Fish function on the Furuno GP 1870F is a useful
function and seems fairly accurate when it showed bigger fish we
caught them; when it showed small fish they were obviously too
small for our soft baits and we didnt.
Its an easy cockpit from which to fish. The ability to get right
into the corners was appreciated, and I liked the security of the high
sides. The stability at rest is great, even with several of us along one
Yamaha F150
Y
amahas F150 is an in-line four-
cylinder, four-stroke engine
producing 150 shaft horsepower.
Weighing just 218kg, its a lightweight,
fuel efcient, double overhead camshaft
engine with electronic fuel injection and
multi-valve technology. It has a 35-amp
alternator to take care of the boats
electrical and battery charging needs, wet
sump lubrication and long tube intake
tracks to increase engine airow, boosting
low-end and mid-range torque.
The Yamaha F150 is a smooth and
quiet runner throughout its rev range, right up to full
throttle operation at 5000 to 6000rpm. It meets the
most stringent emissions regulations, including CARB and EPA,
and it comes with a three-year warranty for recreational use.
The Yamaha F150 is a good match for Stabicrafts 2050 Supercab,
combining strong performance with quiet operation. Its smoothness
is especially noticeable, with little or no vibration transferring to the
boat. With a reputation for reliability and longevity, the Yamaha F150
is likely to be a popular option for this model.

side, though I felt the new Arrow pontoons provide
just a fraction less stability than the old ones. The
new designs seem to move around at rest just a little
more.
ENHANCED PERFORMANCE
Id happily trade a little of this boats exceptional
stability at rest for the improvements in ride quality
that Stabicraft has achieved with this new model.
We had sufficient wind to stir up a decent chop in
Motuihe Channel, which the 2050 Supercab took in
its stride.
For much of the run down towards Rakino Island
I was alone. A slight lean was a combination of
my weight on one side and a stiff breeze trying to
push the boat to port. A second person in the boat
balanced the hull nicely, but trim tabs are generally a
good option for any smallish hardtop boat.
The hull is responsive and handles sweetly. It
likes the engine trimmed well out, which was
necessary to lift the bows a little and allow
the boat to really get along, especially when
the sea flattened out later.
With a tight engine, and mindful that the
boat is a prize, we didnt try too hard with the
speed runs. Even better figures are likely with
experience and a few more hours on the engine.
More important than ultimate performance
is the way the 2050 Supercab covers the distance at
an unruffled 26-27 knots. We achieved a top speed
of almost 38 knots at 5800rpm, or you can pick your
way through the rough stuff at 12 or 13 knots with
the boat still on the plane.
The Yamaha F150 is a smooth, quiet engine;
theres no booming or banging from the hull and
youve got to like the way it deals with the chop a
big thumbs up for the Arrow Pontoons.
QUITE A PRIZE
Anyone would be happy with the new Stabicraft
2050 Supercab. The concept is good and
improvements to the pontoon and hull profile
design, along with the inclusion of the Game Chaser
Transom, make it a capable, desirable boat. Small
and light enough to trailer easily, it combines a lot of
big-boat features with impressive performance and
handling for its size.

Boat review Hanse 575
T
he 575 recently-arrived on our shores is the latest in
Hanses revamped range of 5-series yachts and the big sister
to the 385, 415, 445 and 505. Penned by the same in-house
design team (Judel/Vrolijk), the 575 is the flagship of the
fleet. Well, it was. That accolade will ultimately go to the
new 675 recently announced by Hanse. The first of these
67-footers is to be launched in June.
Still, even if temporarily, the 575 can bask in her matriarch-of-
the-clan status. For all her size, cavernous accommodation and
expansive spaces, shes a well-proportioned vessel crammed with
detail features designed for stylish living. She is simple to sail, and
the designs obviously struck a chord with international buyers
more than 100 have been sold since the designs debut a year ago.
Given her 2.85m bulb keel; powerful, 150m
2
sail plan; vertical bow
and stern and long waterline of 15.15m, youd expect a decent turn
of speed and she delivers, but whats really impressive is the sedate
manner in which she achieves it. Unhurried sailing at 10 knots
sounds like a contradiction, but it captures the sense of the 575s
unflustered motion.
The simplicity begins with Hanses trademark self-tacker. A
welcome feature with a 63m

jib, flicking from tack-to-tack is a silent,
sharp contrast to the flurry of flying sheets and frenetic cranking
that marks conventional tacks. Then theres the German mainsheet
system enabling trimming from either of the twin helms.
All sheets, including the mainsheet, lead back via jammers to the
big Lewmar primaries. These are within easy reach of the helmsman

stately motion
and, running through under-deck channels, the sheets are all but
invisible. They tail into bins hidden discreetly under the seats just aft
of the winches.
Two points about the sheets one good, one that needs fixing.
Firstly, by running the sheets through side channels, the cockpit is
completely free of spaghetti this is a smart piece of design, given
the areas elaborate features and well have more on this in a minute.
Second, this 575 is a base model and carries few of the optional
extras available from the factory her primaries and secondaries
are manual. She carries a hefty, fully-battened main of 87m

and,
apart from the fact that hoisting and reefing it might test your
blood pressure, its a pity to have manual winches, with people
grinding them, in such a stylish area. I understand the owner
is retrofitting the winches with electric kits. In-mast furling,
incidentally, is a factory option.
Twin helms on angled pedestals provide clear views especially
of the immense teak decks. Their position, well outboard, makes
it easy to keep an eye on the surrounding action. This helps with
easing the boat into her berth and, to make this job even simpler, the
575 is fitted with a bow and a stern thruster. This will be useful, given
the potential windage on the tall sides.
COCKPIT
As with so many of the Hanse designs, great emphasis is placed on
luxury of a ve-star hotel suite. Theres even a small cellar beneath the saloon sole.

convenient, stylish liveability. The 575s cockpit is, I think,
one of smartest pieces of design Ive seen on a boat of this
size. Her enormous, 5.20m beam is carried well aft, and the
cockpit makes good use of it. There are two cockpit tables,
side-by-side, which enable a logical walkway down the
centre, between the helms, to a large fold-down transom.
While this arrangement makes for seriously spacious
bench settees around the tables, the area can also be
transformed into a vast, sunbed/lounger. The tables are
mounted on electrically controlled hydraulic pedestals;
a flick of a switch on the helmstation lowers them to
bench level. An insert and additional squabs complete the
transition. Very cool and another reason for those electric
winches. Why have a sweaty grinder on the primary winch
spoiling the view?
Clambering aboard over the 575s side decks is not
going to look particularly elegant. Its much smarter to
make your entrance via the aft platform which will be a

popular spot for sundowners. This folds shut when underway and
forms the door to the dinghy garage where on this boat resides
a 3m Zodiac tender. The platform facilitates its launching and
retrieval. The garage is designed to take a Williams 285 jet boat.
ACCOMMODATION
Moving below begins with the walk down the companionway steps
and it really is a walk. Taking advantage of the boats enormous
volume, the steps are generously wide and lie at a relatively shallow
50 angle easy to negotiate, even with a tray of canaps.
Its difficult to overstate the sense of space there is so much
headroom that fold-up step ladders have been built into discreet
floor recesses around the vessel. Theyre there to help the shorties
reach up and open and close the flush-mounted hatches. And theres
no shortage of the latter.

All sheets lead to the cockpit and tail neatly into bins just aft of the primaries. The 575s high freeboard might require some
nimble manoeuvring when berthing fortunately she has a bow and a stern thruster, operated by joysticks at the helm.
The cockpits two tables create a comfortable passage to the companionway.
six overhead hatches, complemented by portlights in the coachroof and in the
hull, just above the waterline.
One of Hanses hallmarks is offering buyers lots of options including
layouts. The 575 is available in six. This one is the standard version, a
symmetrical master suite up in the forepeak, with two identical cabins aft. The
masters en suite is split with the head to port and shower to starboard.
The two aft cabins share a large bathroom to starboard, divided into a
shower and a head. Where other layouts see a third en suite bathroom added
to port, this boat has a fourth cabin with two bunk beds ideal for children.
Again, natural light pours into the master cabin through three large hatches
and portlights. Dominating the cabin is a large island bed, surrounded by wide
parcel shelves with matching his and her hanging lockers either side. If you need
more storage, theres a cavern under the bed.
The aft cabins dont have quite as much headroom, especially as you get into
the berths, but deliver the same sense of space. I like the vertical LED strip-
lighting used in all the hanging lockers. Theyre activated when the doors open.
I especially like the saloon. Its large table is entirely surrounded by bench
settees warm, cosy and inclusive and it invites elegant
entertaining. Like the cockpit arrangement, the saloon table
retracts and, with additional squabs, the area converts into a large
bed/lounger.
This makes it a logical night berth for long passages, but I suspect
it will get more use as a spot for veging-out during marathon movie
sessions. Thats because the island station just behind the settee
hides a 46-inch LCD TV which emerges with the push of a button.
A fully-equipped galley to port runs the full length of the
saloon and presents masses of work surfaces, lockers and
drawers. The gear includes a coffee maker
and microwave at the forward end,
with a three-burner cooker and

and the similarly-designed Vitrifrigo fridge-freezers its easy to find
and access everything. Theres even a wine locker in the sole to keep
your favourite tipple at an appropriate temperature.
Opposite is the nav station and, unusually for a modern boat,
its of a generous size. If you wanted to you could actually do paper
chart navigation here. Thats if you dont doze off in the ultra-
comfortable, swivelling captains chair.
I suspect the table will see minimal chart work the jobs covered
by the twin B&G T12 touch-screen plotters at the helms. A repeater
down at the nav station would be a good idea. Those plotters are
networked with the rest of the boats electronics, so you can use
them to drive the Fusion stereo.
PERFORMANCE
The yachts auxiliary power is a 110hp Volvo D3, a shaft drive with
a folding, three-blade Gori prop. Its comfortable arrangement
and at cruising revs of 2300rpm, the Volvo pushes the 575s 19.5
tonne displacement to just over 9 knots smooth, effortless and
vibration-free.
I did however find the noise from the engine room blower a little
disconcerting. Its a high-pitched shriek and fairly intrusive; the
blower may need to be reconfigured. It detracts from the vessels
otherwise immaculate presentation.
But the real pleasure of this boat is in her sailing and stately
motion. The radial-cut Elvstrom sails set nicely on all points of sail.
We enjoyed decent wind and on a broad reach (in 19.1 knots true, we
swept along at 9.1 knots. Close-hauled in 16 knots of wind, pointing
around 40 degrees, the instruments showed 10 knots. Days earlier,
the crew had notched up 14.4 knots, broad reaching in 25 knots.
With the large mainsail blanketing the self-tacking jib, downwind
performance is compromised. But if you really want better off-the-
wind speed, you can swap the jib for a 107 percent genoa for which
there are independent tracks and cars. Even better, shes equipped
for a gennaker.
All up, the 575 is an enormously appealing yacht, not least
because she offers pretty good value for money as those 100 new
owners will surely agree. As a production boat, she doesnt fall into
superyacht classification, but shes not far off it, and at around
$995,000 for the base model, shes definitely a lot more affordable.

Waverunner Cruiser, in Queen Charlotte Sound.
Y
ou dont go outside Farewell Spit that was a certainty when I was growing up in
Takaka, but here we were, 0830 on Monday, 10 March, a schwooski of 25 personal
watercraft, heading over the bar of Whanganui Inlet, Cape Farewell and into the
Tasman Sea.
It felt like nautical naughtiness.
We were riding for 2014 Yamaha Melanoma Foundation Ski-nZ, instigated
by melanoma survivor Jeremy Burfoot. My beautiful steed was a 2014 model Yamaha
Waverunner FX high output Cruiser which Id named Pearl, on loan to me from Greg
Fenwick, manager of Yamaha NZ. Id ridden her only three times before but as we dipped
and swirled in the wakes of the other PWCs and met the first lazy swells, I stood up to
ride and it all came together. My knees and elbows moved as Pearl lifted over the waves
beneath me like a horse at canter.
It hadnt always been this way. The previous weekend Brendan Grant, marine sales at
Yamaha, had taken me out to try rough water nearly 70 miles of a sharp, ugly chop from
Half Moon Bay to Kawau Island and back. Brendans PWC was slapping over the wave tops
but mine was smashing into the troughs; I was too inexperienced to apply the power at
the crucial moment. For four hours, Id been hammered by hard landings. Combined with
a tough session at the gym that morning, Id failed to drink enough water and lost 1.1kg
in eight hours. The next day I could barely move, the two hemispheres of my brain were
locked in mortal combat. My personal trainer suggested I pull out of the Ski-nZ event.
New Zealand has the highest rate of melanoma in the world.
So often the worst thing that can happen is the best. Ben, my sidekick at Boating NZ
and a professional sailor, told me that in multi-day events, its crucial to recover every day:
drink water, eat protein, get a good sleep.
It helped that the west coast was being unusually kind. In the open sea, we regrouped
with our leader, Jason. He had a Go-Pro on his helmet so I called him Tellytubby Number
One. At 30mph we cruised past the long sandy beaches and high cliffs where, as a four-
year-old, Id bounced on my fathers shoulders as he ran from an angry bull seal.
We passed crazy-old rock formations that loomed like lions and rode through open
caves. Some of the guys were playing in the surf. With my new confidence I buzzed over
to experiment in the outer wave before turning back to open water but now there was
another outer wave: vertical and coming my way. Youve srcewed this up, said Pearl.
The day before, Tim Porter, previously my boss at Boating New Zealand, had texted
me: power into the waves straight on no angles you will come unstuck. But I was
In 2014 Yamaha Melanoma Foundation Ski-nZ,

adventure because life is an adventure.

scared of climbing that vertical wall and falling over backwards. I
took the wave at an angle. I came unstuck.
The cavalry was roaring to my rescue but I was determined to be
back onboard before it arrived. In my helmet and bulky lifejacket,
it was an inelegant swim to Pearls pull-down step. I tried to leap
aboard like Zorro.

something stupid. At The Penguin bar in Takaka that night, Ewegenie
passed me by for someone who had tried to dredge Farewell Spit a
serious sin in a PWC because it can block the jet intake.
The use of tanning booths or sunbeds increases risk of
melanoma. Use of sunbeds before the age of 35 is associated with a
59% increase in the risk of melanoma.
Tuesday was another early start, for the ride from Pohara Boating
Club to Nelson. We whizzed out past the Tata Islands, met the
expected chop at Separation Point and stopped at Awaroa Beach,
just in time to explore the inlet before the falling tide closed the gate.
Unfortunately one of the PWCs had a malfunction so while the
guys bent over the engine compartment and traded inter-brand
rivalry, we waited but the tide was falling, taking with it our chance
to visit Shag Harbour, Falls River and the other estuaries. A big,
big bummer. We had a sunny, clear water ride down to Kaiteriteri
where we met the road crew for lunch before blatting across the
bay to Nelson. Coastguard met us outside The Cut and led us in: 25
PWCs abreast, surging and swirling in our bow waves. Twice, Pearls
1.8-litre engine revved high as the jet sucked froth rather than water.
We were all grinning because it was so much fun. Well, I was; you
couldnt really tell behind our helmets.
As Team Pearl, I was travelling with my roadie gal pals, Elizabeth
Meadows and Julie Sarten. That afternoon, mindful of Bens advice
and with aching neck and shoulders, I had a snooze and drank
lots of water. Elizabeth gave me a treatment of jin shin jyutsu,
best described as acupuncture without the needles. As the week
continued, I felt better and better.
Wednesday was the leg from Nelson to French Pass. At the marina

that morning, a woman handed me a $5 donation.
I gave her a hug and saw tears in her eyes. I guessed
shed lost someone to melanoma.
There is a greater risk of melanoma with high
doses of sun exposure occasionally; eg, during
holiday and recreational activities, than with
more continuous sun exposure; eg daily work
outdoors
Outside The Cut, we met our sloppiest seas
yet but nothing like the shite conditions of the
previous weekend. We stopped at Peppin Island
where a seal nosed its way slowly through our
herd. At Croisilles Harbour, Jeremys ski suffered a
blocked jet intake, probably due to a plastic bag,
and was towed into shallow water to be cleared.
At French Pass, I lost my last shred of credibility.
I had told everyone that Shag Harbour was
amazing it wasnt because it had no water in
it. I had raved about Falls River we couldnt get
in. And Id talked up French Pass for its swirling,
whirling eddies and freaky bits but on a slack, low
neap tide, it could barely raise a parlez-vous.
In 2010, 324 people in New Zealand died from
melanoma.
Wednesday: the circumnavigation of dUrville
Island where my father had grown up. The weather
forecast wasnt great but Jeremy hoped we could
head up the windward, western side first and come
down the eastern side.
TOP: The superyacht-sized icon depicting my position
off Farewell Spit. ABOVE: Ski-nZ leader Jeremy Burfoot
takes a snooze. RIGHT: A schwooski of PWCs lined up
on the beach at French Pass.
We met huge swells. Jeremy later said
they were 2 metres; from where I was
sitting, they were 20...
A mighty rock structure off
Wharawharariki Beach, Cape Farewell.
Jeremys uncle and aunt, Pip and Jeanette Aplin, live on
dUrville. Pip led 10 of us in his aluminium runabout through
French Pass, which was in active flow. As we cleared Sauvage
Point, we met huge swells. Jeremy later said they were 2 metres;
from where I was sitting, they were 20 but Im prepared to
compromise at 3 metres. For the first time, I felt at risk and
mimicked Jeremys path head-on into the swells. Some were
backless and I emerged to fall stern-first, which was better than
smashing down hard on the bow sections and hoping like hell
Id land flat. Some waves had a long gentle slope to the bottom.
Sunburn increases risk of melanoma in later life.
As we neared Paddock Rocks, Pip turned right, taking the
seas on the beam. We drove down valleys, turning hard left to
take the bigger waves head-on. The twin flippers of a seal flicked
suddenly before my bow. Finally I could see flatter water and the
wind roared and tugged at my helmet as we entered Kupe Bay in
Manuhakapakapa Harbour, home to Pip and Jeanette.
I was freezing and worried about sitting Pearl in the stones
Making it happen
Q
antas pilot Jeremy Burfoot and his wife Manola
established the Yamaha Melanoma Foundation Ski-nZ
following Jeremys near-miss with melanoma several
years ago, after his GP failed to diagnose an errant mole on his
back. Burfoot holds the world record for the longest distance,
2288km, travelled in 24 hours on a PWC and circumnavigated
New Zealand on a PWC in 2006 to raise money for melanoma.
In its second year, Yamaha Melanoma Foundation Ski-nZ is the
Melanoma Foundations biggest fundraiser; this years event
raised more than $90,000.
In 90% of cases, melanoma can be cured if its caught in time
have regular checks from melanoma specialists to ensure no
freckles or moles are developing signs of melanoma.

so Pip leant me a dinghy anchor. Brendan came in to say four riders
were still out in the rough, and he and Jeremy were going out to
round them up. The rest of us would return to French Pass. But
Brendan was my buddy, officially. He was supposed to be looking
after me. I must have looked pathetic.
Youre doing fine, he said. Ask someone to be your buddy. I
asked Ben, an experienced PWC rider from UK.
Im only a teensy bit scared, I told Ben. In the last few years, Ive
developed a whole new attitude to fear. I used to be scared of the
dark, of flying, of rough-but-not-particularly dangerous weather.
Now, mostly, Im not but its not the dark thats changed its me.
I trimmed up my bow for the downhill ride home and checked my
Ocean Signal personal locator beacon was securely in place.
Soon we were back in the fast-moving mountains. Ben turned
hard into a biggie and came off the back, bow high in the air. I wasnt
sure if he had done it for fun or for safety but hed survived, so it
must be right. I turned into the wave, fell over the other side, gunned
Pearl into the next big wave and turned hard to run before the next
one. Mostly I could run ahead of the waves, sometimes swearing
urgently or emitting a gurgled shriek not so brave, after all. I was
constantly turning to see what was coming next, looking out for Pip
in the boat and watching the visibility spouts of the other Yamahas.
I had a horrible port-starboard-port corkscrew as Pearl nearly
broached in a trough. I throttled hard, clung on and escaped.
I rode the back of a wave for 100 metres, like an Avatar creature on
its flying dragon. A set of large waves went through, leaving relative
calm behind them so I sped across it while the speeding was good.
Suddenly, we were back in flat water and the guys went hard-out
for French Pass, unfazed by what wed just come through. Boys
can be so annoying. Some of them were doing more than 60mph. I
peaked at 55mph but was way more comfortable at around 40mph.
Even then the wind noise was like a freight train.
Around 90% of melanomas are caused by UV radiation from the
sun or sun beds; most melanomas are highly preventable.
Thursday, French Pass to Picton, about 80 miles. With the big waves
of the day before still haunting me, I was edgy but it turned out to be
yet another easy day. Adine Wilson, former captain of the Silver Ferns
and melanoma ambassador, joined us. Cape Jackson was a doddle
and we turned into a flat Queen Charlotte Sound, headed to Punga
Cove Resort for burgers and on to a welcome at Picton.
70% of melanoma cases occur in those 50 years and older.
But Cyclone Lusi was dominating the news: would we be able to
cross Cook Strait the next day and put New Zealands most famous
crossing on our PWC CVs?
Sadly, it was not to be. Jeremy made the call at 0530 next morning.
Winds were 30 knots, gusting 40, in the strait and Coastguard had
said it wouldnt support us if we went. As we passed through Tory
Channel in the comfort of the Interislander ferry, the wind had
defied the forecast and eased. Its unfinished business.
Im still amazed that I finished in such great shape with no aches
and pains. Admittedly, the weather was kind and my hard work at
the gym definitely paid off. My Pearl roadies, Elizabeth and Julie,
took excellent care of me as did Pearl, my Yamaha Waverunner
Cruiser. As a rider of a smaller PWC told me with a touch of envy:
Youre not on a PWC. Youre on a launch.
To everyone who sponsored myself and other riders in 2014
Yamaha Melanoma Foundation Ski-nZ: a sincere thank you.
Money raised from the Yamaha Ski-nZ challenge 2014 will be used to:
Improve the outcome for people with melanoma
Increase awareness of melanoma prevention and early detection in New Zealand
Improve communication amongst New Zealand professionals whose work relates to melanoma
Facilitate clinical and other melanoma research in New Zealand
Support families affected by melanoma

MULTIMETER
TROUBLESHOOTING

F
or the average DIYer, the chief benefit of a multimeter is
basic sleuth work: a logical process of elimination to find the
probable cause of a problem.
If you dont already have a multimeter on board, its worth
investing in a digital model. A decent digital multimeter retails
for well under $100.
Multimeters are designed to test three units of electricity: ohms,
ie, resistance; volts, ie, potential energy; and amps, ie, current for
DC and AC power. Depending on which of the three units youre
checking, the multimeters two leads red and black are plugged
into the instruments appropriate sockets.
The choice is easy because the black lead always plugs into the
black socket, usually marked COM for common. The red lead plugs
into one of two red sockets one for testing voltage and resistance,
typically marked VmA; the other, for current/amps (A).
The selection dial on the multimeter may seem confusing
as it offers multiple options for the range of the units ie, amps,
milliamps, volts, millivolts in DC and AC. A good reason to invest
in a modern digital meter is that it will be an auto-ranging model.
You use the dial to select which units you want to test, but wont
have to worry about choosing the appropriate scale it does so
automatically.
The most basic multimeter test, says Glenn Powell, a marine
electrician at Westhavens World Power Electrical, is a continuity check
a simple yes/no test that uses the meters resistance setting; ie, ohms
, to see if a wire, light, fuse or circuit can conduct electricity.
Any break in a circuit stops the flow of electricity, Powell
says. Common breaks are blown fuses, corroded wires or loose
connections. But you want to find which of these is faulty. If, for
example, a navigation light isnt working, a series of continuity tests
will quickly establish whether the break is the bulbs filament, or
perhaps because of poor contact between the bulb and its socket
usually caused by corrosion, or an actual break in the wiring.
NOTE
HOW IT WORKS
In simple terms, electricity flows from the meter, along the red lead,
through the bulb/wire/fuse being tested, and back to the meter
along the black lead. If there is a break, the electricity cant get back
to the meter there is no continuity, and no reading. Ergo, youve
found the culprit.
All parts of the circuit must be de-energised during a
continuity test. The boats 12-volt DC source is switched off, or
the circuit isolated. Powell says its important to understand that
a multimeter generates its own, small pulse of electricity for the
test and measures the resistance it meets. If it cant get around the
circuit, we test the components individually until we find the break.
NO-SHOW NAV LIGHT A THREE-STEP CHECK
1. Select the multimeters Ohms setting marked with the omega ()
symbol.
2. Disconnect the ends of the two wires leading to the light. This is
easiest to do at the circuit board.
3. Place a multimeter probe on each wire end any way, the test isnt
polarity sensitive.
If you get a reading, the circuits OK; if the screen shows 0L
(open loop) there is no continuity. This could be because theres
a break in the wire, the bulbs blown, the bulb socket in the light
fitting is faulty often corroded, or the wiring connections are loose.
Testing each of these segments independently establishes the cause
of the dead light. The integrity of a fuse is also checked in this way.
A particular advantage of a continuity check is the ability to test
difficult-to-access components a masthead light, for example. The
integrity of the circuit can be first checked from the saloon.
Continuity checks are also useful for checking the integrity of a
VHFs aerial connection. Poor or no reception is often caused by
dodgy connectors at the back of the radio.
VOLTS
As with Ohms, a modern multimeters volt scale is auto-ranging,
but you have to choose either DC or AC volts on the instruments
selector dial. The DC volts symbol is a flat line over three dashes (V
), while AC volts is a sine wave (V ). The selection is usually
indicated on the screen as well.

Common volt tests, says Powell, include checking your
batterys health by placing the multimeters probes directly onto the
posts. A fully-charged battery reflects around 12.6 volts, and it drops
off fairly quickly: 12.2 volts = 50% charge; 12.0 volts = 25% charge.
Anything below 11.7 volts is flat battery.
Multimeters also provide an easy charging-system check. With
the engine running and the alternator delivering its charge, the same
battery test will read closer to 14 volts, indicating that the charging
system is working correctly.
In troubleshooting mode, the instrument is useful for identifying
voltage-supply problems checking that a device or component is
receiving 12 volts. A good example is a faulty electric windlass.
For voltage supply tests, you will need the boats DC power
system switched on.
Before you begin pulling things apart, check that the deck foot
switch is actually receiving 12 volts. In many cases the problem is
a poor connection, corroded wires, or a break in the wire from the
battery to the windlass solenoid. Switch the multimeters dial to
DC volts and place the probes on the terminals of the deck switch.
When the foot switch is pressed, you should get 12 volts on the
meter. If you get zero or a much-reduced reading the switch
might be faulty or dirty.
Another issue, he adds, is an engine that stays stubbornly mute
when you turn the key. Before cursing the batteries, check that the
ignition switch is actually receiving 12 volts. The problem may be a
faulty wire from the battery or a faulty switch. Maybe a fuse is blown.
AMPS
A more complicated part of the testing regime, measuring amps
(current), involves introducing the multimeter to a live circuit so
that it can check the current going through the meter and thus the
circuit. To make the meter part of the circuit, the circuit must be
broken and the meter connectedn using the two probes across the
two points of the open break.
An easy way to do this is to remove a fuse from a circuit and
connect the probes to the two ends of the conductors in effect, the
multimeter takes the place of the fuse and measures the amps that
would be running through the fuse.

Set the meters selector to DC amps (A ) and plug the red lead
into the red socket marked A.
WHY IS A CURRENT CHECK USEFUL?
Its worth knowing how much current a particular device is
drawing; eg, a fridge unit, or an SSB radio. If your electrical system
is unstable and fuses keep failing, you may be forcing too much
current down wires that are too thin for the job. An amp check
could confirm that.
NOTE When youve finished an amp test, remember to remove the
red lead from the Amp socket and put back into the VmA socket.
If you dont make the switch and then continue testing volts,
chances are good youll destroy the meter or at least blow its fuse.
Uh oh... dead
fuse. OL open
loop means no
continuity.
A simple
continuity test
conrms that
the fuse is OK.

Smuggler superyacht tenders
A
superyacht is the ultimate in maritime fashion
and its tender is an accessory, like a matching
pair of shoes. So when Smuggler Marine builds
a superyacht tender, its more than a means of
transport. Its the final, aesthetic flourish.
Smuggler Marine has recently delivered a
Smuggler 700 CC guest tender and a Strata 540 RIB as
matching crew tender to a 56m yacht, while a Strata 630
graces the deck of a 44m yacht in Aucklands Viaduct Harbour.
The 700 CC has a similar hull to Smuggler Marines
700 model, but for use as a superyacht tender it has been
converted into an open-style day boat with a centre console, a
redesigned transom and side-entry door.
It features removable stainless steel rear guards and
a pullout swim ladder set beneath the large boarding
platform. The side-entry door enables passengers to board

T
he tactics of sail racing are much like those of gambling
every decision is a risk-versus-reward analysis. In the 2014
SSANZ Round North Island Race, organised by the Short
Handed Sailing Association of New Zealand, Tony Wells and
Rob Shaw on Blink obeyed the cardinal rule when in the
fastest boat: play it safe. Giving away an advantage of five
feet to Blink, Wells Shaw 12m, Wayne Woods and Craig Satterthwaite
on the Elliott 35 Bushido had to play a high-stakes game of Roulette
to stay in contact. And the fates seemed determined that Bushido
would haunt Blink for the entire race.
The light, upwind leg one from Auckland to Mangonui saw Blink
work hard to gain advantage to windward, only to have it stripped
away later in the leg. We were sailing higher, while matching their
speed, says Wells. We thought the gauge we had picked up would
pay off but it didnt. Later in the leg we had to soak back down to
them, and they ended up catching us again at Cape Brett. Once it
settled into an upwind race we pulled away to win that leg by about
half an hour.
Leg two took the competitors from Mangonui, around the top of
the country and down to Wellington. Bushido was close in second
place when it all went wrong. Earlier they had been the benefactors
of an ideal wind shift at the Karikari Peninsula on the east coast
which had helped them nullify Blinks early lead. The two boats
were drag racing towards the corner at Taranaki when they hit an
underwater object. It parked their 35-foot canting keeler, almost
shearing off the canard. We worked out that we still had about 40
percent of it left, says Woods, so we just carried on to Wellington.
As the two leaders turned the corner, the breeze built to more
than 30 knots and swung to a broad reaching sprint to Wellington.
The mind games began. Bushido hoisted a fractional code zero and
took a machete to Blink s seven-mile lead.
We thought we were going fast, says Wells, but they were having
a white-knuckle ride with their FR0 [fractional code zero]. We didnt
know this until they had overtaken us. So we responded and hoisted
our fractional zero. We added two knots of boat speed and were
reeling them in. Had we known they had no daggerboard and would
suffer on the final upwind, we would have carried on and nailed them.
But, to ensure we rolled them in time, we went for the A6.
With their storm jib, large jib and fractional zero all plugged in
on the bow, the foredeck was a spiders web of sheets, halyards and
furling-lines. In the dark, a mis-run sheet, attached to the unfurling
A6, brought about the mother of all clusters. I created the biggest
foredeck mess I have ever seen, says Wells. It took two and a half
hours to sort it out and, as a result, we couldnt hoist our jib properly
and Bushido slipped past us again.
Bushidos broken canard could have been the end of her race,
Over four legs and 1244nm, 25 yachts pitted their sailing skills and weather wits against
each other to compete in the 2014 SSANZ Two-Handed Round North Island Race.

to learn fast in this RNI. Greg
Elliott, Bushidos designer
and original crew, withdrew
due to injury before the race,
so Woods and Satterthwaite
had little time to prepare.

Woods. He took things to

T
ony Wells and Rob
Shaw had a reasonably
short build-up to this
years race. Wells and his
wife Vesna had originally
planned to sail together,
but Shaw stepped in when
Vesna felt her broken
arm hadnt recovered
sufciently to race. The
winds seemed determined
to punish them for making
the right decisions based
on sailings laws of averages.
They would have benetted
from more time in the
boat as they battled with
unfamiliar systems onboard.
but for the efforts of Yachting Developments. The Henderson yard
received the call on Tuesday lunchtime and delivered a newly built
canard to Wellington for installation on Friday afternoon.
Eventually, Blinks dedication to sailings law of averages paid off.
They headed offshore towards a wind shift which Bushido chose to
ignore and sailed north on leg three from Wellington to Napier. This
handed Blink a comfortable lead, and they won the leg by six hours.
As the boats headed north on the final leg to Auckland, Blink lost
much of her lead when Bushido snuck through the Mercury Islands
to leeward, sailing a faster angle. As Blink rounded the final turning
mark, her crew were unaware they had been reeled in and felt safe
sailing under mainsail alone across the Firth of Thames.
When the boats came back together, Blinks lead which had
been about nine miles was gone. Bushido was in front and sailed
to victory in the final leg, putting the two yachts equal on points.
Usually the yacht which wins the most recent leg is awarded the
overall victory but the Round the North Island is decided on total
elapsed time and Blinks dominant win on leg three won the race.

this years race was between the two Elliott
1350 Tourers Fiction and Focus and they didnt
disappoint.
Richard Bicky Bicknell, who crewed on Fiction with
owner Bill Dalbeth, has competed in events around the
world, yet he still loved racing evenly matched boats
around our coast.
The rst two legs against Focus were fantastic, he
says. On the rst leg we were mixing it up the whole
way. They overlaid the nish which let us inside and we
nished about a minute in front. On the second leg I hurt
my back when we were trying to drop the A3 in some
big breeze. We got a bit behind, but then they parked up
at the bottom of the North Island and we caught up to
nish two minutes behind.
In spite of Bicknells injury, they decided to carry on
with the race. With the focus now on getting around
the track in one piece, they lifted their foot from the
throttle as their rivals put the pedal to the metal. After
that, we were behind them on each leg by quite a bit.
They certainly stepped up their game, says Bicknell.
It was pretty tough. Going round Coromandel on the
last evening we had 35-40 knots and when you have got
the whole way round and get a kick in the face right at
the end, its hard. I lost about eight kilograms during the
race. Its not like a fully crewed race; you are eating only
enough to get by and you are non-stop working.
The camaraderie in the race was fantastic. It was
such a joy to be involved. I felt very proud coming down
the harbour, knowing that I had nished a Round the
North Island.

F
or the youngest crew, Simon McVeagh and Matty Steven on
Montego Bay III, every leg of the race offered a new challenge.
The rst two legs were great, says Steven. We had a bit
of reaching and were able to keep up with the racier boats and got
a rst and third on handicap. But then, after the second leg, they
adjusted our handicap and we had to go upwind and got nailed.
The second leg to their home port brought a surprise. We were
beam reaching and one massive set came through, says Steven.
I saw it ve seconds before it hit. I bore away and got the boat
downwind and the crest landed in the cockpit from directly above.
It knocked the boat on its side. Then we went sideways down the
wave with the mast in the water. We were pretty lucky that we
didnt go turtle. The steering wheel got ripped to pieces. We wiped
out the dodger, got quite a lot of water downstairs and wrote off
the auto-helm.
Shortly before this they had been sailing with their gennaker but
had decided it was time to drop it after a ride at 17.5 knots down
another good-sized wave.
After some rest and repairs in Wellington, they suffered in the
light upwind conditions on the way to Napier. We were looking
good until Cape Kidnappers, says McVeagh, when we parked and
covered 0.6 of a mile in 11 hours. We thought we were two hours
from the nish but ended up sitting there for half a day.
It didnt get any easier on the nal leg when the breeze built to
40 knots on the nose and seemed to follow them around the track.
On the last leg, all the way from Hawkes Bay to Auckland, we were
turning every corner into a head wind, says Steven.
No offence to Montego Bay III, but if I was going to do this
race again, it would denitely be on a faster boat, McVeagh says.
Steven adds: No offence toMontego Bay III,but if I was
going to do this race again, it would denitely be on a faster
boat, too.

In powerboat design, the size, angle and placement of spray rails, chines and
strakes have signicant inuence in how the boat performs, along with deadrise,
beam and longitudinal centre of gravity, as covered last month.
FUTURE CONCEPTS
CHRISTIAN STIMSON 54
T
he key variables available to a designer are deadrise angle
ie, the amount of vee in the bottom, beam at the chines and
LCG (longitudinal centre of gravity) position. Plugging these
into the software will output the required horsepower for a
given speed, the running trim at that speed and whether the
boat demonstrates dynamic instability in pitch known as
porpoising as well as a few other useful numbers.
Varying deadrise at the design stage is one way to adjust the
position of the Longitudinal Centre of Pressure (LCP or centre of lift)
to align it with the Longitudinal Centre of Gravity (LCG) to attain a
target trim angle. Conversely the designer can try to move the LCG to
align with the LCP that the optimum hull form generates.
VICES AND VIRTUES
When designing a powerboat, some aspects are locked-in due
to constraints such as the accommodation layout and engine
installation (Rule Three see opposite page, top) which all affect the
LCG. Depending on the basic hull concept, the designer has various
tricks to counter these, for example locating the fuel tanks at the LCG
so that the trim is barely affected by the reduced load as fuel is burned.
TO THE HULL
POWER
Part II
TheTristram 741 has waterline strakes with mostly horizontal spray rails
parallel to the waterline.
Conversely, if the form runs more efficiently with reduced trim at
lighter displacements, the designer may locate the fuel tank aft as
the stern will lighten as the fuel is burned. Trim tabs, interceptors or
engine tilt will help trim down the bow; the latter can also help trim up
the bow, but all come with a drag penalty see Rule Two.
The deadweight of the boat structure, accommodation, engines
and hardware is a fixed amount, and the hull must have sufficient
volume at rest to support that weight see Rule Four. This immersed
volume increases with added beam or greater deadrise. If there is
too much volume for weight or too much horsepower for the boats
weight/deadrise combination, the chines will be close to the waters
surface and, as the speed increases, the chines may lift clear of the
water. This may initiate chine walking as the boat, being unstable
on its narrower planing body, falls over on to one chine, picks up
lift from that chine and rolls back the other way. Chine walking can
range from uncomfortable to alarming to dangerous.
A useful number provided by the designers software is chine
length and chine immersion. This tells us how much chine is
immersed at a given speed, and when we are near a threshold of
insufficient chine for stability. Maintaining a usable length of chine,
sufficiently immersed, requires a moderate trim angle otherwise
the chine would run parallel to the water and generate no lift so it
is critical to balance the amount of lift and its location relative to the
vessels weight and its LCG. Chine design is something of an art.
Chine design is an art, and every designer approaches it
differently. However there are some generally agreed principles that
apply. If chines are too wide, the vessel will have a harsh ride; if too
narrow, the vessel could lack dynamic roll stability and potentially
suffer additional drag as spray climbs the topsides. A chine width
somewhere between 2.5% and 5% of the local beam seems to work
well. A little downturn of no more than 5 degrees, while having little
effect on performance, does assist in turning spray down.
Relating the chine line in profile to the keel line is hotly debated,
but generally maintaining a near-prismatic form; ie, an extruded
shape of constant section, in the aft third of the boat is beneficial so
the keel line and chine line should run near-parallel to each other in
plan and profile view.
To ensure adequate chine immersion when underway, a good rule
is to avoid the chine sweeping up above the waterline aft of midships
when the vessel is at rest which brings us back to the immersed
volume and matching that to the vessel weight see Rule Four.
The amount of chine sweep in profile should be related to the
HIGH AND LOW CHINES CHANGING CHINE LINES
The chine sweep, amount of chine immersion and overall width and angler of the chine downturn differs between designers and between models
within a range, as do the number, angle and width of spray rails/strakes, but most boat designers work within recognised parameters. Changing the chine
line radically alters the shape of a boats hull and its handling characteristics.
Rule One: Speed and control are mutually exclusive
Rule Two: You dont get owt for nowt or, where theres lift, theres drag
Rule Three: Beauty is in the eye of the credit card holder
Rule Four: Isaac Newton always wins; Archimedes and Bernouli just comply
Rule Five: Compromise management is the name of the game
Stimsons maxims on yacht design
tuck in of the forward waterlines. A well-powered, light displacement
form with narrow waterlines forward and lots of chine sweep will
end up with a fine vee and potentially narrow waterlines when
underway, which could lead to stability issues. A heavier boat might
suffer from a lack of lift in the bow and struggle to accelerate and get
out of the hole see diagrams.
The issue of chine walking can be addressed by adding lifting
strakes in the aft body. These serve as secondary chines to
provide dynamic roll stability, and are placed on the hull bottom
somewhere in the upper third of the deadrise. The designers
software can output the running length, trim and chine immersion;
a negative number indicates the chine is dry, that a strake is
required, and where to put it. However they add drag at all speeds,
in keeping with Rules One and Two.
Spray rails their location, size and number is an equally
debated topic. Their primary purpose is to shed spray as it climbs
up the deadrise and therefore to reduce drag. The spray rails can be
parallel to the centreline as buttock lines, parallel to the waterline or
somewhere in between along a diagonal. I generally prefer the latter
as it is usually perpendicular to the direction of the spray and sheds
it best. That said, other orientations work better in some situations.
The design considerations that apply to spray rails are similar to
chines and strakes too big and the ride will be harsh and possibly
snappy in roll; too small, and they will be ineffective at shedding
spray and the vessel may lack the benefit of roll damping underway.
Generally spray rails shouldnt extend too far aft into the immersed
running body where they will create drag. Again, the designers
software is a guide to where the wet bit starts at a given speed/trim
combination, so we know where to stop them see diagram.
So intuition, design software to validate the intuition and real
world feedback are required, but ultimately Rules Three and Five
have to be observed balancing all the requirements is tricky.

LIFTING STRAKES SPRAY RAILS
Lifting strakes added to the after part of the hull can be used to combat chine walking and provide dynamic hull stability. They should be located
somewhere in the upper third of the hull deadrise. The primary purpose of spray rails is to shed spray as it climbs up the deadrise, creating drag. They
can be parallel to the centreline as above, parallel to the waterline or somewhere in between.

Lake Te Anau
Words and photos by Craig Hart
T
owering mountains and dramatic waterfalls make an
awe-inspiring backdrop to Lake Te Anau. Just over two
hours from Queenstown and Invercargill, the lake borders
Fiordland National Park and the Wahipounamu World
Heritage Area, with State Highway 94 running alongside half
of its eastern shore. Most visitors here will be travelling to
Milford Sound or about to embark on the boat ride to the start of the
Milford Track. The Kepler Track, another New Zealand Great Walk,
starts on the shore at the opposite end of the lake but for adventurers
in trailerable powerboats or trailer yachts, the lake is a way to access
isolated anchorages among the mountains.
The township of Te Anau at the southern end of the lake provides
the services and supplies needed to top up fuel tanks and jerry cans,
purchase fishing gear and fill the picnic basket. Numerous bays close
to town allow you to drop the pick or beach the boat for a picnic, to
water ski or explore. Brod Bay is one of the most popular, sheltered
and safe for swimming.
Lake Te Anau can be boated year-round although in winter
temperatures are crisp and mornings are often frosty. Fiordland
weather is notoriously changeable and, even with a good forecast,
boaties need to be prepared for all conditions. Strong winds, heavy
rain, cold temperatures and even snow can occur at any time. The
Roaring Forties airstream picks up moisture from across the Tasman
Sea and slams it into the mountains, dumping heavy rain in the west
and snow on the mountain tops.
Most of the lake and fiords are exposed to the wind which usually
strengthens in the afternoons. This can create a confused wind
pattern where it meets the main body of the lake. The fiord winds
pack more punch than those on the main lake. Be aware that rivers
can rise quickly during heavy rainfall, so take care if leaving your
boat to explore rivers and creeks when rain is forecast. Summer
brings average temperatures of between 10 and 20 degrees and
between 0 and 10 degrees in winter.
Before departing up the lake, make sure someone knows where
you are going and take some form of communication device: VHF
Channel 63 is monitored by Bluff Fishermens Radio and Mountain
Radio flares and an EPIRB. Mobile phone coverage is non-existent in
the fiords and can be unreliable elsewhere.
Anchorage depths range considerably around the shores,
particularly in the fiords where it can be too deep alongside the
steeper mountains and rock faces. Most anchoring means beach
nosing into the shore for short stays or dropping anchor and using
a stern line back to the shore and around a tree for any extended
stays. A depth sounder is a great accessory for helping to determine
a suitable place to anchor. Keep an eye out for branches and logs
floating in the lake as these are often washed down the rivers during
Many of the South Islands magnicent lakes and rivers allow trailerable
powerboats and trailer sailers to explore isolated, dramatic mountain
scenery within hours of leaving the boat ramp. Lake Te Anau is one of them.

heavy rainfall. When boating around and into any
river mouths, take it slowly in case of submerged
trees. If the weather forecast is settled, stay for a
night or two on board, in one of the huts at the
head of the fiords, or go camping. Trolling for trout
is popular at the lake outlet or off the eastern shore
between Patience Bay and the township.
The fiords and arms to the west are great options
for exploring. South Arm is 22 kilometres long and
gives access at the head to tracks and back-country
huts in the Chester Burn and McKenzie Burn
valleys. This arm is probably the most accessible
because of its closeness to Te Anau township, but it
has long distances between places to tie up.
Middle Fiord is 20 kilometres long. Most of it is
open to the prevailing westerly wind so it can get
rough although it does offer some sheltered bays
and islands. At Junction Burn Hut there is a track
up to the Woodrow Burn, plus a short, scenic walk
from Prospectors Bay to Lake Hankinson. It is best
accessed from Boat Harbour boat ramp. Sheltered
anchorages can be found at the south-west corner
of Doubtful Island and on the southern bay of Erin
Island, but watch out for the submerged rock just to

North Fiord is 16 kilometres long and can
become a wind funnel with choppy swell. It is
scenic going through the Narrows; there is shelter
here and at Glaisnock Hut at the head of the fiord.
This is best accessed from Boat Harbour ramp.
Worsley Arm is two kilometres long. There is a
good anchorage providing shelter at the shore in
front of the Worsley Hut but you will experience
the feeding frenzy of the sandflies. They can be
so thick it feels as if its raining sandflies. The
Clinton River and area accessing the start of the
Milford Track provide little or no shelter and is not
recommended as a stop-off.
The Te Anau Glow Worm Caves are well worth
a visit before returning home. This 15,000-year-
old living cave network is still under formation,
lit by small bioluminescent insects. The Te Anau
visitors centre has information on the caves.
Where to shelter
Popular spots near Te Anau township with boat-friendly
depths and shelter.
1. DOCK BAY offers good depths with good shelter at the
northern end from W to NW winds. Good for overnighting.
2. BROD BAY offers good shelter from the west and south
winds and has shallower water near the shore. There is a
DOC campground.
3. EAST COVE offers good anchoring and shelter at the
northern corner.
4. HIDDEN LAKES JETTY offers shelter with a short track
leading to several small lakes and a lookout point.
5. MUSSEL COVE offers good shelter from all directions
but there is no beach.
6. DRIFTWOOD COVE is good for a lunch spot if settled
but is quite exposed and collects lots of driftwood from
the prevailing wind.
7. GARNET BAY goes in quite some distance and gives
good shelter from the south. Great lunch spot.
8. DOME ISLAND gives some reprieve from the feisty
sandies. With settled weather it provides good anchorage
with views down the South Fiord.

The practice of sheathing classic boats in epoxy and breglass is generating
heated debate on whether it is best for the boat in the long term.
L
ast month we left our classic boat on its stands in the shed,
with its timbers stripped, dried and free of salt. This was the
first stage in preparing the hull and decks for sheathing in
epoxy/fibreglass. The next stages require the expertise of a
skilled boatbuilder.
STIFFENING
By definition a classic boat is built prior to 1950 and will be planked
either in single-skin carvel or multiple skins, ie, double or triple-skin.
In both cases, the planking is mechanically fastened to the frames
with nails, rivets or screws; ie, not glued.
These construction methods are relatively flexible, more so after
six or more decades of use. Sheathing a flexible boat with a relatively
rigid epoxy/glass skin inevitably leads to cracked or delaminated
sheathing, allowing water into the structure to cause probable
decay. Most, if not all, classic boats require at least some structural
stiffening before sheathing.
Every boat is different so it is essential to seek advice on how to
stiffen the boat from a boatbuilder or marine surveyor experienced
in traditional, classic boat construction. Recommendations typically
include re-ribbing, extra frames, stronger maststep, and/or replacing
the plank fastenings with the next size up. While on the subject of plank
fastenings, all nails, rivets and screw heads will need to be exposed,
and the heads scraped back to bright metal. Any defective fastenings
need to be replaced, and the holes plugged with timber or epoxy.
With a stiffened structure and tight planking seams, most multi-
skin, planked classics are now ready for sheathing. Carvel-planked
classics, however, will require splining.
SPLINING
Splining is the process of edge-gluing every carvel plank to its
neighbour, essentially making the hull monocoque construction.
First, a tapered groove is cut along every plank seam, removing all
paint, putty and caulking cotton. Then a shaped timber batten, the
spline, is glued into the groove. The grooves and splines are tapered
so that glue can escape out the sides and wont hydraulic the spline
from being pushed snugly home. See diagram on page 76.
While the spline grooves can be cut straight after stripping,
splining should not be done until the planking has dried to the local
ambient moisture content; in Auckland this is around 12% to 16%.
Splining techniques vary. Classic boatbuilder Peter Brookes has
splined many classic boats here and in the UK. He uses a modified
biscuit joiner, similar to a mini circular saw, and a custom-tapered
blade to cut his grooves.
Local boatbuilder Wayne Olson is another experienced spliner.
He uses a modified 100mm grinder, again similar to a mini circular
saw, cutting a groove approximately 4mm wide at the top, narrowing
to 2mm at the bottom. Brookes and Olson favour relatively narrow
splines, as does marine surveyor Ray Beale, who splined many hulls
during his boatbuilding years with Salthouse Brothers.

GLASSINGOVER
PART II SPLINING, SHEATHING AND PAINTING
Practical boating
However Dale Pennington, who employed boatbuilder Ian Davies
to spline Ngaio, favours wider splines. Davies splined Ngaio with
a router using a tapered bit approximately 10mm wide at the top,
narrowing to 8mm at the bottom.
Prior to cutting, lightly nail a fair batten to the hull at a pre-
determined distance down from the seam to act as a guide for
the cutting tool. Depending on the condition of the plank seams,
adjust the tool to give a spline depth of around 80 per cent to 90
per cent of the plank thickness.
Splines should be cut from the same timber species, density and
moisture content as the original planking. Splines are most easily
cut on a bench saw with the blade tilted to give the same taper as
the groove. The splines should be a little deeper than the groove
so they finish proud of the planking; the extra is faired off after the
glue has set.
The splines should be checked for fit, prior to gluing, and the
grooves wiped with meths to remove any contamination. Typically,
light nails hold the splines in position until the glue cures and then
removed. Splines can be installed consecutively top and bottom like

carvel planking, however as glue can ooze out past the splines as they
are installed, its safer to install the splines from the bottom up to
prevent excess glue entering the grooves before the work is ready for it.
The final job before sheathing is longboard fairing and sanding;
obviously, the quality of the overall finish depends on the effort put
in with the longboarding.
SHEATHING
Its highly recommended that a technical advisor for the company
which supplies the resin/fibreglass inspects the boat prior to
sheathing to give specific recommendations. This can help to
avoid flaws in the final result and ensure a smoother application
process throughout.
Ideally the actual sheathing should be completed in a day. If
thats not possible, then over two consecutive days. This will require
careful preparation: a clean, organised worksite; sufficient materials
on hand ie, epoxy, pumps, trays, rollers, brushes, fibreglass,
scissors, thinners, masks, gloves; suitable weather and sufficient
people. Sheathing a 12m classic will need a team of at least four.
While the mechanics of sheathing a boat in epoxy/glass are well
covered in literature available from epoxy resin suppliers, there are
some issues that apply specifically when sheathing classics.
Fibreglass cloth lay-ups are typically heavier than the single layer
of boat cloth on new work. This increases the structural strength to
combat any potential plank movement.
Grant Beck of Adhesive Technologies, the licensed manufacturer
of WEST Epoxy, suggests a minimum lay-up for a 12m classic would
be 600g double-bias (DB) cloth, covered by 300g boat cloth. A
heavier lay-up would be three layers: one each of 600g DB, 430g DB
and 300g boat cloth.
The use of peel ply is recommended when sheathing. Its a light
fabric thats applied after the final resin coat. It protects the lay-up
from contaminates, absorbs any excess resin and, after removal,
leaves a nicely textured surface ready for light sanding and the
next stage.
Gravity is another issue. New boats are normally sheathed
upside-down, whereas classics are sheathed upright. On the
underwater sections especially, gravity will be trying to pull the
fibreglass cloth away from the hull, which isnt good for maximum
adhesion. This is why multiple layers of fibreglass are recommended
a single layer of fibreglass is too heavy to resist gravity.
Olson counters gravity by pre-coating the hull with resin about
four rolls of fibreglass cloth wide. He leaves this resin to become tacky
enough to hold the fibreglass cloth, which is rolled out one width at a
time from gunwale to keel. This first layer of fibreglass is allowed to go
tacky before the next layer is added, and so forth.

Pennington also pre-primes with resin, which he covers in peel
ply. The next day the peel ply is removed and the actual sheathing
is carried out using multiple layers of fibreglass. Beck says both
methods are valid; the key is to get sufficient resin into the hull for
adhesion, but not so much that the fibreglass floats off.
The fibreglass cloth should be overlapped rather than butted at
the edges, and ideally will overlap the hull bottom across the keel/
deadwood area. At the top of the hull, the fibreglass edge should be
finished where it can be covered with a toerail or rubbing strip to
protect the more vulnerable edge. When sheathing decks and cabin,
carry the fibreglass down onto the hull sheathing, or finish the edge
where its later covered by a toerail, rubbing strip or similar detail.
PAINTING
After sheathing, a classic is usually spray-painted with a two-pack
paint system, a process well described in paint supplier literature.
The key issue here, specific to classics, is paint colours.
Some epoxy/glass-sheathed classics, including Ngaio and
Waitangi, have been painted in dark colours. While this can look
stunning, dark colours absorb heat, which increases surface
temperatures.
Standard epoxy resin becomes rubbery at around 60 C, which can
result in print-through where plank seams, fastening holes and even
the fibreglass weave shows in the paint surface.
While print-through is essentially a cosmetic issue, in some
cases temperatures have got so high that the sheathing can partially
delaminate from the timber. Many experts feel painting an epoxy/
glass sheathed classic in dark colours is risky. Some owners are
prepared to accept this risk; anyone remotely risk-averse is advised
to stick to light colours.
SEALING
With the exterior now fully sealed, its time to stabilise and
waterproof the interior, otherwise bilge water can soak into the
planking, which will swell and become dimensionally unstable.
In extreme cases, the planking can pull off the frames or crack the
sheathing along the plank seams.
Ideally, Beck says the entire interior should be stripped and
sealed with multiple coats of epoxy resin. If the classic boat has
been completely gutted, its relatively easy to seal the interior, but if
the interior cabinetry is to be retained its almost impossible to do
properly. In that case, as a minimum Beck recommends the interior
be cleaned, sanded and thoroughly painted.
Additionally, its important to deal with any potential leaks to
ensure the bilges stay dry. For example, old-style stern glands should
be replaced with a dripless type, and the likes of cockpit and deck
drains arranged so that rainwater is channelled overboard and not
into the bilge.
FINANCIAL
An epoxy/glass sheathing job is labour intensive and, if carried out
professionally, will be expensive. Assuming no major structural
issues are encountered, indicative prices to professionally sheathe
an average 12m classic boat range from $30,000 to $45,000.
A professional, spray-applied, two-pack paint job will be extra
to the sheathing costs. While this will be less expensive than for a
stand-alone spray paint, because much preparation work will have
been done during the sheathing, painting is still likely to cost another
$15,000 to $20,000. So a professional sheathing and two-pack paint
job on a 12m classic will lighten its owners wallet by somewhere
between $45,000 and $65,000. These estimates exclude GST.
Sadly the secondhand market wont value epoxy/glass sheathing
at anything approaching these costs, so an owner selling a sheathed
classic within five to 10 years will be out of pocket.
On the other hand, should the owner keep his or her classic for a
decade or two, a decent epoxy/glass sheathing job will likely pay for
itself in reduced maintenance.
SUMMARY
Hopefully these two articles have provided those interested
in sheathing classics in epoxy/glass an appreciation of whats
involved. Theres no middle ground with sheathing: do it properly
or dont do at all.
Depending on the boats condition and required outcome, there
are alternatives to epoxy/glass sheathing, to be discussed next
month. Well also examine how to get more life from traditional,
single-pack paint systems, plus a recent development in paint
technology which holds considerable promise for classic boats.

Boat review VMG 575 XL Prototype
T
he typical Kiwi aluminium
trailer boat is based on a simple
monohedral vee hull form. It
works well and is easy to build
in flat panels and, since the sea
doesnt change, it makes sense to
stick with a proven concept.
But occasionally someone thinks
otherwise like VMG Boats of Warkworth.
John Morgan and Rod Gill are VMG
boats. They have designed and built a line
of unusual trailer boats from CNC-cut
aluminium panels, although the boats can
be built from panels in any medium.
John Morgan is an engineer and yacht
designer whose CV includes design
work for Americas Cup syndicates and
New Zealand boat designers/builders,
including Jim Youngs Vindex and Formula
boat ranges. Morgan also coaches high
performance sailors, including Olympic
medallists Olivia Powrie, Jo Aleh, Peter
Burling and Blair Tuke.
Morgan and Gill aimed to design and
build a range of trailer boats that perform
better, ride better and are more stable
than conventional monohulls. Morgan
designed a hull form which, he believes,
requires less power and therefore uses less
fuel, than a conventional alloy trailer boat
of the same length. VMG velocity made
good pretty much sums it up.
VMG Boats of
Warkworth has taken
a multi-hull approach
to the Kiwi monohull
concept, in the search
for better handling, better
efciency and better
performance.

Its most notable

qualities are a soft
ride and remarkable
performance from
just 70hp...
We were after efficiency; that is, performance and speed, plus
fuel economy from less power, Morgan says, because more
efficiency means more money in the pocket after a days boating.
But creating a boat that exhibits all-round efficiency, including
hull drag and cabin aerodynamics, was only half the challenge. To
be commercially viable, it needed practical appeal for recreational
anglers and divers in the aluminium trailer boat market.
To our goal of efficiency we added a simple, practical deck plan
with lots of useable cockpit space and better-than-average stability
at rest, Morgan says. Foam buoyancy combined with sealed
underfloor and in-sponson chambers make the boat unsinkable.
Morgans approach was based on his experience and enthusiasm
for making boats go fast, and years of designing twin tunnel hulls.
The boat featured here is the VMG 575 XL prototype for the twin
tunnel hull form. It has evolved: strakes added, strakes taken away;
foils added and a cabin added from the original centre-console.
Morgan used his computational fluid dynamics (CFD) skills to
computer-model the design before building computer-cut, half-
size models to test various hull forms on the water. The models
were regularly towed beside his coaching RIB to assess their
characteristics and check for vices.
The boat I drove is the full-size prototype, the result of more
than two years of design and testing, its aluminium components
computer-cut and assembled at Mahurangi Sheetmetals shop in
Warkworth.
Since building the hull, VMG has experimented with deck
layouts, including an extended stern platform and the current
transom arrangement with the engine set well forward. In its
original incarnation, the VMG 575 was powered by a 50hp Evinrude
E-Tec, a low-profile engine enclosed in an aluminium engine box

similar to an inboard motor. A change to a
taller, but lighter 70hp Yamaha four-stroke
did away with the engine box, but its
footprint is evident on the stern platform.
The boats cuddy cabin is a recent
addition and woollen tell-tales stuck to its
sides betray Morgans testing to determine
airflow over the boats superstructure. Hes
pleased with the aerodynamics, but says the
production-built boats will have different
windscreens and overall styling.
TUNNEL DYNAMICS
Morgan describes the VMG hull form as an
air-entrapment configuration, essentially a
tri-hull design with narrow, outer sponsons
and a relatively conventional looking
vee-hull between them. Considerable work
has gone into the hulls entry and the overall
look of the boat, which, from beam-on, is
hard to distinguish from a conventional
vee-bottom monohull.
Most tri-hull designs are too full
forward, in my opinion, which makes
them hard-riding and difficult to handle in
certain sea conditions, Morgan says.
The VMG 575 XL is definitely not
hard-riding in fact, the ride is good for a
modest-sized aluminium boat. The passage
of water under the hull and through the
tunnels makes a distinctive noise; the boat
isnt noisy, but the sound of the water over
the hull is quite different from a monohulls.
Air is trapped in the tunnels, an integral
element of the design, to soften the ride
and provide lift, which must account for the
unusual noise quality.
Nor does the 575 exhibit any alarming
handling traits, though like any multi-hull
design it turns level, actually leaning out
slightly like a catamaran rather than heeling
into a turn like a vee-bottom monohull. But
while it turns flat, it still turns sharply so you
need to hang on tight.
I was pleasantly surprised by how
well the boat handled the modest wind
chop we experienced. Morgan says
the boat handles more extreme seas
well, sometimes out-performing larger
monohulls that were accompanying them.
LEFT, CENTRE AND BELOW: The prototype has a
utilitarian interior, but production boats will have
more storage and better provision for tote tanks
under the transom. The good-sized front hatch
will stay, though the screen prole may change.
TOP: VMG purpose-built the aluminium trailer.
We were able to maintain planing speed in relative comfort
when the other boats were reduced to ploughing their way home at
displacement speed, he says.
Stability is excellent, too tri-hull boats are inherently stable
and VMG has filled the boat with closed-cell foam noodles that kids
play with in swimming pools. The noodles are chemically inert so
they dont react with the alloy hull. Any underfloor spaces that are
not sealed chambers contain foam floatation, as do the sponsons,
for a total buoyancy 125% of the recommended level.
We loaded the boat with people and removed all the bungs but
she continued to float level and no water found its way into the
cockpit, says Morgan.
The final development phase for the hull is the addition of
foils fore and aft. These will further improve hull efficiency and
contribute to the boats ride. Morgan maintains the 575 hull is
already 25 per cent more efficient than a conventional vee-hull, and
adding foils will provide an additional 15 per cent gain.
TEST BED FOR IDEAS
As a prototype, this boat has been a test bed for Morgan and Gills
ideas, particularly with regard to the hull. They have continuously
modified the layout above the gunwales to try various concepts. Some
aspects of the layout I liked a lot, such as the roomy cockpit; others,
less so. Production boats will be quite different, with conventional
transoms and a more modest aft platform. Cabin details will probably
change too, along with the coaming height, which I felt was a bit low.
Morgan also promised better provision for the tote tanks under a
redesigned transom and a more satisfactory position for the battery.
Large underfloor wet lockers will remain while additional side shelves
forward will add storage to the production models.
As it stands, the VMG 575 XL is a useful sport fisher that offers more
volume and stability than most. Its most notable qualities are a soft
ride and remarkable performance from just 70hp most conventional
aluminium runabouts of this size would need at least 90hp to match it.
The VMG guys could be onto something.

A sea anchor is a requirement for
New Zealand yachts undertaking
short-handed ocean passages.
Boating NZ columnist Jim Lott
practices deploying a sea anchor
before he needs it in a storm.
T
here have been stormy days at sea when I have felt like Lewis Carrolls Tweedledum
when he said: I am very brave generally, only today I happen to have a headache. In
extreme sea conditions, lying to a parachute anchor can ease the headache.
Any vessel can be rolled by a wave that is big enough or steep enough, including
yachts which have been lying a-hull, ie bare-poled and beam-on to the seas. Others
have broached and rolled after surfing down a wave at speed; others have pitch-poled,
end over end. Yachts and even large ships have been lost without trace in stormy weather.
Experienced ocean sailors debate at length the various methods of how to handle storms
at sea. Perhaps the only consensus is that no method suits all vessels in all conditions.
However, there is also wide consensus that being side-on to breaking seas is worse than being
end-on. While racing yachts with plenty of crew have the ability to steer, gales at sea are tiring
and it is a requirement for all New Zealand yachts on ocean trips to have a system for keeping
the vessel end-on to the seas unless there are more than four crew-members on board. See
YNZ Safety Regulation 17.31.
Over the years many devices have evolved to keep a yacht end-on to the waves. Those
which are streamed over the stern to slow the boat and assist with steering are generally
referred to as drogues. Others set from the bow are commonly called sea-anchors. Both have
their merits depending on the sea state and type of boat. There was no really effective sea-
anchor until a thinking sailor in 1947 decided to see what would happen if a military cargo
parachute was deployed over the bow in a gale. It worked well, keeping the yacht comfortably
headed into the seas while drifting slowly astern. And so began the use of purpose-designed
parachute sea-anchors for ships and yachts.
When Karin and I planned our voyage from New Zealand to Chile in our 16-metre yacht
Victoria, we decided to carry a parachute sea-anchor in case we encountered extreme sea
conditions. After much research, we selected the 4.5-metre diameter Coppins Stormfighter
then, in typical Kiwi fashion, ignored the instructions to practice setting it before we departed.
After thousands of miles, thankfully, we havent needed it, but during a trip home to New
Zealand, there came a welcome opportunity for Karin and me to join Auckland yachtie Andy
McCarrison on his 15-metre yacht Gallant Cavalier. Our mission: to practice deploying and
retrieving a Stormfighter. None of us had deployed a sea anchor before, which was good,
because we had to see if we could figure it out for ourselves.
The weather obliged with a 25 to 30-knot south-westerly, enough to carry out the test but
not enough to cause too much trouble if we made mistakes. Sitting in the marina was the
ideal place to sort out the component parts and make preparations.
WHAT DID WE LEARN?
Deploying a parachute sea-anchor is a bit like setting a spinnaker. Preparation and double-
checking are vital and one line in the wrong place can create havoc just when you dont want
problems. Its easy when you know how, but you will not get it right without practicing.
In spite of having the manual in hand and last minute checks, we still left out a step. We
forgot to inflate the parachute bag. This meant that the parachute had a tendency to sink and
rise in the sea. It also made it much harder to retrieve.
The parachute sea-anchor is stowed in
or near the cockpit.
The small back-pack
with part of the rode is
secured to the lifelines.

Chafe is a major problem and it is essential to have the chafing
sock or hose in place before the load comes on the rode. Once the
sea anchor was deployed, it would be very hard to position any
protection, and if the rode rubs on any hard surface while under
tension it will part quickly. It may be possible to fasten the rode to
a short length of chain through the stem-head fitting to avoid the
chafe problem.
The Stormfighter is designed and made by Bill Coppins in
Motueka where he has been making sea-anchors for yachts and
ships for more than 30 years, although other brands are available.
The Coppins system is well thought out and was easy to use once
we became familiar with the details. If we had tried to deploy a
parachute sea-anchor without a good system we may well have had
the problems others have had, which include the parachute filling in
the wind and sustaining damage from flogging.
Pulling 140 metres of 16mm nylon rode to retrieve the parachute
is surprisingly difficult, even with no weight on the line, which is
slippery when its wet.
The rode we used had the main line and a spring, or Pardey
line, named after Larry Pardey who strongly advocates using a
spring to keep the wind about 20 off the bow to create a slick on
the water. Lying just to the head-rope we sailed back and forth
excessively, about 100 metres in each direction. The spring stopped
this, although we were unable to test whether the tendency to sail
would cease in stronger winds. Bill Coppins recommends that a
spring should not be used in winds exceeding about 50 knots and
suggests the vessel is better lying directly head-to-wind. Ignoring the
advice of someone like Coppins who has so much knowledge and
experience should never be done lightly.
However, it seems that having the spring spliced into the rode
about 20 metres from the yacht is a good idea. It does not have to be
used but its too late to attach a spring after the parachute has been
deployed. It also provides a second rode in case of chafe or another
problem.
There have been cases of yachts lying directly head to wind to a
parachute and sliding back down a wave so fast that the rudder or
steering is badly damaged. Perhaps this occurs when the parachute
is a size too small for the yacht, but whatever the reason, it is crucial
to monitor the yacht and take any necessary action.
After studying the manual we should have made ourselves
a final checklist. There are several key steps and actions so it is
easy to overlook something, especially if setting the parachute in
stormy conditions or at night. We managed to make a mistake on
a sunny day.
Set and forget? Not really. Aside from monitoring the yachts
progress, there can be other vessels to consider. A vessel lying
With the straps holding the two
halves of the parachute pack

anchor in its bag overboard
The yacht drifts away to leeward,
pulling on the rode and tugging
the parachute from its bag
The rode is shackled to the parachute and a
split-pin secures the nut on the shackle.
To stop the rode washing overboard, it is secured
with tarred marlin twine to each stanchion base. It
is best to use natural bre line rather than synthetic
line or plastic electrical ties, which will not rot away
when they wash overboard as the parachute sets.
At sea: with the yacht not under power and
drifting well away from other trafc, we
deployed the retrieval line to windward.

to a sea-anchor is not a vessel at anchor, nor is it not under
command. Having gear in the water may make it restricted in
ability to manoeuvre, but what is most important is to keep
watch and to warn other vessels about what is happening. Aside
from day-shapes and lights, this can be done by radio and altering
the status on AIS.
Preparation is paramount when heading offshore. Being prepared
is one thing, knowing what to prepare for is something else. However
carefully a voyage is planned, there is no excuse for not being
prepared for stormy conditions and having the equipment to cope.
Parachute sea-anchors have a good record in storms at sea and
help you to be brave in stormy weather.

Boatbuilder Peter Brookes specialises in restoring and building classic boats.
His Waimauku shed contains the full classic spectrum, from dinghies through to
a traditional 15.4m pilot cutter. This is his story.
RETROS AND CLASSICS
JOHN MACFARLANE 78
F
rom his accent you might think Peter Brookes is English, but
he was born in Auckland in 1963. His father Colin Brookes
is from the United Kingdom and met his mother, the late
Nanette, while she was working in England as a ballet dancer.
Colin and Nanette married and settled in New Zealand,
moving back to the UK when Brookes was two. They settled
in Heybridge Basin, a small village on the River Blackwater on
Englands east coast, where Colin bought a Robert Tucker Silhouette
for family cruising while the young Brookes played about in clinker
dinghies.
The Brookes moved back to New Zealand in 1972 and Colin
began building a Richard Hartley 13.1m ferro cement Fijian. They
intended sailing the Fijian to the UK but Colin sold the yacht shortly
after it was finished, and the Brookes returned to the UK by air. They
re-settled in Heybridge Basin.
After buying another clinker dinghy, Brookes then restored two
traditional small yachts, the 5.48m Thames Estuary One Design Teod
followed by the Winkle Brig Wanderer. The Winklebrig is a 4.88m
gaff-rigged, shallow draft yacht and Brookes raced his successfully
for some years. I was always passionate about classic boats and in
my last year at school I became friendly with local boatbuilder Steve
Partridge who offered me an apprenticeship, he says.
Over the next four years Steve gave Brookes an excellent
grounding in traditional English boatbuilding. Meantime, Colin had
bought Hartleys plan business, selling boat plans to home builders,
and founded a business building ferro yachts. Brookes finished the
last year of his apprenticeship helping his father.
Brookes didnt particularly enjoy working in ferro; he found it
hard, repetitive work. However, he kept his hand in after hours
with classic boats. He built rowing and sailing dinghies in GRP and
restored several Sprite-class dinghies. He raced one with his sister
Christine who later came second in the UK trials in the Europe class
dinghy for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
In 1984, in what turned out to be a career-defining moment,
Colin accepted an International Six-metre yacht as deposit on
a new ferro yacht. The International Six-metre yacht, originally

Vs restoration was pretty bodgy compared to the sort of work I do
nowadays, that project stimulated my passion for restoring classic
yachts, he says. He owned Asti V for five years.
Brookes went out on his own as a traditional boat restorer
in 1989. His first projects were partial restorations of two more
International Six-metre yachts: the William Fife-designed Piccolo
and the Olin Stephens-designed Nancy, both built in 1932 during
the heyday of six-metre yacht racing.
His next major job was the restoration of the West Solent One
Design (WSOD) Mischief. H G May of the Berthon Boat Company
had designed the WSOD as a low-budget cruiser/racer in 1924 and
Berthon built about 30 of them. By 1990 most had been converted
into cruisers and were in varying states of disrepair. Some of
that could be traced to short cuts in their original construction,
specifically the use of wrought-iron floors and fastenings and a weak
scarf joint under the maststep.
Brookes carried out a major restoration on Mischief, splining her
planking, replacing the wrought-iron floors with oak and returning
the boat to her original configuration. When relaunched, Mischief
created renewed interest in the WSOD as a class and other owners
asked Brookes to restore their yachts. Over the next seven years
Brookes restored eight of them, including one for himself, Linette.
Most required major surgery, often needing to be taken back to a
bare, empty hull. His skills and reputation grew with each project,
and he became synonymous with the WSOD.
By 1998 Brookes life revolved almost totally around the WSOD
fleet. Besides restoring them, he was responsible for the winter
storage and maintenance of the fleet of eight, and it was all
becoming too much. I felt Id achieved what Id set out to do, which
was to get a fleet of WSOD racing, but I felt burnt out, he says.
The birth of daughter Sara in 1998 was the catalyst for a change
in lifestyle. While visiting Colin in New Zealand in early 1999,
the Brookes decided their daughters quality of life was more
important than working seven days a week on WSODs, so they
wound up their UK business, sold their house and moved to
New Zealand later that year.
Brookes wanted a break from restoring boats, so initially he
worked as a builder. However, John and Sandra Gorter soon had
him helping with the restoration of their Arch Logan-designed
Iorangi, which exposed Brookes to the newly founded Classic Yacht
Association (CYA). He was fascinated with New Zealands classic
yachts and bought the Logan-designed Ladye Wilma which had
been in storage for many years. But, before he could start on her
restoration, he was contracted to restore the 30-square-metre class
yacht Vivi which was shipped here from the UK.
Following this project, one of Brookes former WSOD clients
approached him to design and build a traditional 15.4m pilot cutter.
These traditional engineless boats were used off the Welsh and
English coasts in the late 18th and early 19th centuries to provide
pilots for square-rigged sailing ships. Seaworthiness, speed and an
ability to be sailed shorthanded were essential.
Building a 30-ton pilot cutter is a mammoth undertaking, let
alone doing it single-handed. The Brookes Kumeu boatbuilding
shed wasnt big enough, so the couple bought a lifestyle block
at Waimauku where Brookes erected a 300m

shed hed bought
secondhand on TradeMe. Counting its lean-to additions, the shed

can hold up to five reasonably large classics.
Brookes needed to locate, cut and mill sufficient kauri for the
project, estimated to be 25 cubic metres. The pilot cutters scantlings
are massive and reminiscent of a bygone era when timber was
plentiful and timber ships were built to last. The sawn frames at
500mm centres are 180mm x 150mm and each half frame is built
up from six pieces of kauri, epoxy glued and riveted together with
copper rods and bronze washers. The planking is 50mm thick and
bronze-screwed to the frames. The eight-ton lead ballast keel was
cast in four sections of two tons each, with a scarf joint between
each one. The keel is aluminium bronze bolted through a double
keelson, the inner one being checked out over the heels of the
frames. Standing inside the partly planked boat is akin to standing
on a block of concrete, so solid is the structure.
By 2008 Brookes had built the keel, stem, stern, framing and had
the hull about 30 percent planked when his UK client fell victim to
the global financial crisis and pulled the plug on further progress.
Theres little demand for partly built 15.4m pilot cutters, although
Brookes eventually found a new owner in Australia prepared to
finish the project. Brookes will resume the work later this year.
However, imposing as the pilot cutter may be, the most
impressive yacht to leave the shed is the Arch Logan-designed and
built Rawhiti. Between 2004 and 2011, Peter carried out one of the
most comprehensive and thorough restorations of a classic yacht
ever attempted in this country. Built in 1905 for A T Pittar, a New
Zealander living in Sydney, the 16.5m Rawhiti dominated Sydney
racing for three decades. After a succession of Australian owners,
Auckland businessman S E Marler sailed Rawhiti back to Auckland
in 1946, and she remained in his family for 23 years before falling
into the wrong hands and eventual disrepair.
Greg Lee and his brother-in-law Sam Stubbs bought Rawhiti
in 2003, intending to use the yacht as a family cruiser. It soon
became apparent that a full restoration was required and Greg
recruited Brookes to carry out the project. Stubbs dropped out but
Lee resigned from his lawyers job and worked alongside Brookes
virtually full time. The project was daunting. Almost 100 years of
hard racing, accident damage, electrolysis and ill-considered and
poorly done additions had taken their toll; Rawhiti was a mess.
With Rawhiti in a cradle, Brookes gutted the hull back to a bare,
16.5m canoe. Starting at the bottom and working up, off came the
keel, followed by the installation of new floors, extra ring frames
forward and a stronger, longer maststep. A major problem surfaced
when Brookes discovered the stem timbers needed replacing. This
entailed temporarily supporting the triple-skin kauri hull externally
to retain its shape. About five percent of the inner skin of planking
was replaced while all 10,000 hull rivets and roves needed drilling
out and replacing.
Lees goal was to restore Rawhiti to her original configuration,
which meant a new interior, deck, cabin, cockpit and gaff rig.
However, some modern improvements such as a 75hp engine and
winches make the yacht a little more family friendly. In all, Brookes
and Lee spent more than 20,000 hours restoring Rawhiti and shes

now in as-new condition not bad for a 109-year-old yacht.
Sadly, Lees situation has changed and hes put Rawhiti up for
sale. Despite pouring himself into Rawhitis restoration, Brookes
remains philosophical; life moves on and he has a shed full of other
projects. Besides the pilot cutter, theres the classic Logan yacht
Little Jim in for a refit and repaint, a Townson 34 being painted by its
owner under his supervision, a Hartley ferro motor sailer belonging
to Colin Brookes and the Logan Ladye Wilma out the back waiting
for her new owner to start work. In the gaps between the bigger
boats is a Frostbite needing new planks and transom, and a John
Welsford dinghy to be finished off and painted. Last year Brookes
also carried out a refit of the Logan yacht Tawera and a restoration of
the Bill Couldry-designed Turakina.
Brookes is a perfectionist; nothing but the best workmanship
is acceptable. This makes employing staff frustrating as their work
standards rarely match his own, which is why Brookes prefers to
work alone. Hes also reluctant to return to the situation where
he was under pressure seven days a week from a bunch of WSOD
owners all wanting something done yesterday.
These days its more about balance and family in the weekends
as he and Mary support their daughter Saras equestrian goals.
Shes ranked just inside the top 20 in the pony Grand Prix
showjumping class. So although its horses rather than boats that
occupy his weekends, come Monday morning its all about the
boats again. The New Zealand classic yacht fleet is lucky to have
someone of his skills.

A common misconception for owners looking to move to Coppercoat
has been the need for specialist applicators. Yes the MEC Marine Service
team and a handful of good painters are recommended throughout New
Zealand, but if owners have applied traditional antifouling themselves and
are looking to reduce costs, the entire process is rather simple.
Take Richard Morrrow for example, owner of BlueBird, an H28 moored
on the Tamaki River. In 2011 Richard decided to proceed with Coppercoat, as
he was somewhat tired of the annual chore and costs that are experienced
with traditional antifouling. Richard, who has had previous experience with
antifouling, took up the Assistance Package Deal that the MEC Marine
Services team offers to help with application.
The team gave Richard several different
removal options, which left Richard to prep
his existing priming system, offered advice
on the primers state and worked with
him for a day on the Coppercoat application. For a reasonable daily rate, Richard received expert
knowledge giving him the condence to proceed himself but also an additional helping hand to coat
his yacht.
Feedback from Richard speaks for itself; Paul was a great help, and it wouldnt have been much fun
doing it by myself! The option for hired help on the day is exactly what I required. Now, 3 years later,
in March 2014 we have just hauled out and are very impressed with Coppercoats performance.
When it comes to antifoul applications, the exibility that MEC Marine Services offer boat owners
means that theres an option for everyone. Whether youre keen to manage the process yourself, or
if youd prefer to be guided by expert advice, or if youd like the team to take care of everything for
you, contact them to discuss the best option for you and your boat.

W
ho on Earth was W J Quelch? you ask. William James
Quelch was well-known in Auckland in his day as
the owner of many fine yachts and launches. Born in
London, Quelch came out with his family as a baby to
New Zealand in 1874 on the sailing ship Dorette, later
Waimea.
The family settled in Onehunga, Auckland. By 1891 Williams
father, also William, had set up in business in Pitt Street, Auckland, as
a wire worker and bird seller. William and young W J were both avid
bird-fanciers, particularly racing pigeons and parrots, and imported
and exported live birds. W J was also a keen musician and became
bandmaster of the First Battalion (Newton) Band by 1900. However
it was W Js wireworking skills that led him by degrees to become
a prominent manufacturer of wire-woves, the almost universal
bedding mattress of the first half of the 20th century.
Living in Parnell and later in Ponsonby in the 1890s, he became
infected with the yachting craze that ran deep in all Auckland
marine suburbs. Little is known of W Js first yachting experiences
but, in October 1910, Progress magazine reported that Collings &
Bell had just put in the water their third launch to his order, the
30-footer Waihiri, fitted with a 10hp Doman marine engine.
Waihiri was followed in 1911 by Dorothy, again by Collings & Bell,
a smart raised-foredeck flushdecker in the latest style, this time a
35-footer with a 12hp Doman engine. Dorothy was named after
In the rst half of the 20th century, at least 14 yachts and launches
passed through the ownership of bird fancier W J Quelch.
W J Quelch
One man and his boats

W Js daughter, born in 1902. These fine H C Doman engines were
built in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and Collings & Bell was the local agent.
In 1907 the Matheson brothers built Maroro to plans published in
Rudder magazine and had Collings & Bell fit a Doman engine.
When Maroro won the 1908 RNZYS Rudder Cup night ocean race
around Sail Rock and back, Doman engines got the spotlight. The
race, too, proved a giant step in raising the profile of motor launches
as a safe and reliable means of boating.
Quelch moved his family to the North Shore, living first in
Glen Road, Stanley Bay, where they were near to Walter Bailey,
Bill Lowe, the Wilds and the Willetts. Later the family moved to 27
Queens Parade, on the seafront west of the Devonport Ferry Wharf,
another patch thick with crack yachtsmen such as the Sutherlands,
Buchanans, Gittoses, Inglises and C P Murdoch, amongst many.
Bitten by the sailing bug, in early 1913 Quelch sold Dorothy to
buy the big Logan Bros-built yawl Ethel; see Vintage Perspectives,
December 2013. Dorothy stayed in Auckland for a while, owned by
old-time Auckland yachtsman C B Stone, reputedly the first pakeha
child born in Auckland, but was bought by M Sinclair of Matakana
Island in 1920 when Stone died.
Quelchs eldest son Tom was the nominated skipper in races in
which Ethel took part. The RNZYS Norah Cup race of 21 February
1914 had as entrants T M Alexanders Iorangi (scratch), J C Mackys
Ilex (8m), A E Giffords Rawene (10m 30s), Smaill & McCarties Ida
(13m), T Le Huquets Marangi and Jagger Bros Victory (14m 30s),
A Sutherlands Waione (17m), A Dawsons Thistle and J W Fraters
Ngatira (18m 30s), J B Johnstons Kotiri (21m), F Woolleys Aorere and
T W Quelchs Ethel (26m). It was pretty fast company for young Tom
Quelch who was just 15 at the time. All 12 yachts started in a brisk
noreasterly; only nine finished. Ethel was seventh, ahead of Aorere
and Ilex.

BELOW RIGHT: Eulalie, Bailey and Lowe, 1900.
LOWER RIGHT: Little Jim, built 1901.
W J Quelch seems to have been a compulsive trader. Shortly after
the Norah Cup race, he traded Ethel with dentist W R Ingram for the
24ft linear rater Eulalie. Designed by Walter Bailey and launched
by Bailey & Lowe in November 1900, Eulalie had been one of the
least successful of the crop of 24 linear raters built in Auckland in
1900: the Bailey & Lowe-built Bona, Eulalie and Miro, and the Chas
Bailey Jr-built Speedwell and Matua. Quelch kept Eulalie only briefly,
selling her in May 1914 to H English of Stanley Bay.
The next yacht in the Quelch family was the handsome Le
Huquet-built Alexa which W J bought from Cyril Dunsford in early
1915. Alexa was a fine, 32ft cutter built for Ernie Pirate Payne of
Thames in 1904. Probably sailed mainly by son Tom, Alexa raced
during World War I in the patriotic races and regattas run by the
North Shore Yacht Club and the new Bayswater Boating Club.
She rode out the February 1917 cyclone on her moorings without
damage, while several of Aucklands major yachts hauled out for the
duration of the war on the beach at Torpedo Bay, a mile east around
the Devonport foreshore, were seriously damaged.
Tom Quelch was at sea on the square-rigger Rothesay Bay so
W J sold Alexa in early 1917 to Bonner, Hastie and Chapman of
Devonport. Jack Bonner had lost his right arm at the front but still
threw himself into all the work needed to get Alexa ready for the
water and, with his left hand, painted a splendid watercolour of her.
Without Tom around, W Js next boat was another step sideways.
This time he bought the hybrid Gryphon from E S Tecky Gittos
of Huia Street, Devonport. Gryphon was an example of the
contemporary efforts to produce a pleasure craft which combined
the virtues of yachts and launches, what we call a motor-sailer today,
but well before the concept had been thoroughly worked out. T M
Lane & Sons Ltd built the 29ft x 27ft x 9ft x 3ft Gryphon for Gittos in
November 1912, described as a mullet boat type with a 5hp Colonial
engine. Like Gittos, Quelch used her primarily as a launch and fitted
a larger 16hp Peerless engine. However, the Quelches soon moved
on again, and Lanes were advertising Gryphon for sale in June 1918.
No doubt under pressure from son Tom, just back from sea,
W J had bought the Logan Bros keeler Little Jim from the Feltham
brothers of Devonport. The 36-footer Little Jim was built in 1901
for fishing and was considered the crack snapper boat of the port
when purchased by the Feltham brothers of Devonport in 1911
and refitted as a fast cruiser. They had refused to race so there

was considerable interest amongst yachtsmen in the change of
ownership to the Quelches. They hauled her out in front of the
Queens Parade property but couldnt use her a great deal during the
last stages of World War I and the Spanish flu epidemic that followed.
Little Jim was sold to R L Stewart Sr in April 1920.
W J Quelch now bought from the Matheson brothers their lovely
little launch Maroro whose history is set out above. In February
1923 he sold Maroro to Sam Leyland of the OBrien Leyland Timber
company, a man who owned and swapped launches with the same
frequency as Quelch. Firmly back in the motor boat fold again, and
now with three sons, W J immediately ordered another new launch
from Collings & Bell, this time a handsome 38ft flushdecker.
Launched in late November 1923, the new boat, Dorothy Q,
was fitted with an upmarket 25-55hp, four-cylinder Van Blerck
engine, for which Collings & Bell were agents. This time W J stuck
to the boat for years, until 1930. During his ownership she grew
a bridgedeck, a dodger and a clerestory, as did 99 per cent of
all flushdeckers. The Van Blerck was swapped for an even more
upmarket Stearns in 1926. In 1923 Tom Quelch had bought the old
24ft keeler Mahoe, built by Charles Robinson in November 1894,
but kept her for only a couple of years.
Inevitably, the time came for a change of boat. W J swapped
Dorothy Q with Sam Leyland for Leylands Jean, whereupon she
became Doris. The 35-footer Jean had been built for
H D Heather by Lanes in 1915 as Rothesay, the name Heather called
all his launches, then sold to David Teed who changed her name to
Maude T, the name he called all his launches, then to
W A Wilkinson who changed her name to Speedwell, the name he
called all his launches, then to Sam Leyland who called her Jean,
the name he called all his launches. Confused? These days she is
back in Auckland after many years in Wellington as Rosemary M.
Quelch immediately exchanged Jean with L Schischka for his quite
similar launch Wanderoo, built by Lanes in 1913 for Major Whitney
of the Colonial Ammunition Company.
But Wanderoo was just a stop-gap while Colin Wild built the
36ft auxiliary yacht Vida for W J, named after his daughter-in-law
Vida, ne Subritzky. Vida was considered very modern, with a tall
Marconi rig like Nga Toas and a straight sheer. Unfortunately
W J had little time to enjoy Vida. He was an asthmatic and suffered
a bad attack at his West Street, Newton factory on 18 May 1934.
He called a taxi to take him home to Devonport, but died on the
vehicular ferry, aged only 61.
W J Quelch was a true, if slightly eccentric, yachting enthusiast of
those dynamic first decades of the 20th century.

Henry van Asch lives his life at full throttle and has a collection of boats to match.

C
o-founder of the bungy-jumping craze and a lover of
mountain biking and speed skiing, Henry van Asch thrives
on thrills and is a keen collector of boats and cars.
His love of cars began in his teenage years and his
wife Caroline inspired him nautically with boat trips to
her familys Marlborough Sounds bach. Now he owns an
assortment of boats and surprise, surprise theyre all speedboats.
The oldest boat in his collection is Fairline, a 1955 so-called
Cracker Box Junior Racer. Built from plywood, Fairline, not pictured
here, has a central driving position with co-pilot seats on either side.
Shes powered by a Dodge straight-six, flathead engine developing
108hp which, besides powering Dodge trucks of the 1940s and 50s
eras, were commonly fitted to farm equipment. Fairline is awaiting
restoration by Graham Caird of Southern Classic Boats in Invercargill
who has already restored others in the van Asch collection. Caird has
got Fairlines engine running, but it is yet to be tested on the water.
Some of the boats of Henry van Asch, from left: the 6m, Leo Young-designed Seattle;
the Hamilton 73 Sport High Noon, and the Mason Clipper 24, Clipper J.
The 6m Leo Young-designed Seattle,
with directional skeg beneath her hull.
Van Aschs second-oldest boat is Apache, not shown here, a
5.8-metre boat designed and built about 1959 by the late Davey
Scott, an Invercargill boat builder, for the late Norman Hayes. Caird
served two years of his boat-building apprenticeship with Scott,
while Hayes was the son of Irving Hayes who founded the E Hayes
& Sons hardware store in 1932. This store has a sizable collection of
early Southland motoring and farm machinery, including the late
Bert Monros record-breaking Indian and Velocette motorcycles.
Van Asch received Apache as part of a Lake Wakatipu boat shed
purchase two years ago and, although the boat was in reasonable
condition, it hadnt been used for some years. It has been partially
restored and the paintwork is largely original. Apache has a small
cabin with twin vee berths and an aft cockpit. It is powered by
another 108hp Dodge which direct-drives the propeller through a
clutch, but there is no gearbox so no reverse.
Next in the collection is Seattle, a 1962 six-metre Leo Young
design, which was built for Alan and Alice Scott, then heavily
involved in the Karapiro Ski Club. Seattle has had several engines
over the years and is powered by a Chevrolet 350 V8, driving the
propeller through a vee drive. A refurbishment several years ago by
Kevin Sexton included new white leather upholstery to complement
her red and white hull.
Hamilton 73 jet boats have become highly collectable due to
their rarity. There were two models, the Mexico and the Sport,
with identical hulls designed by George Davidson, then managing
director of Hamilton Jet. Kevin Shacklock designed the Sports
topsides and its swoopy, wrapround windscreen.
When van Asch casually mentioned to a friend that he was
thinking about adding a Hamilton 73 to his collection, within a week
hed been put on to an original, mint-condition Hamilton 73 Sport
in Christchurch named High Noon, which he immediately bought.
High Noon still had her original engine, a Chevrolet 400 V8, although
a few years later a severe Queenstown frost cracked the engine block,
so van Asch imported a new Kodiak 330hp engine from Canada. This
fuel-injected engine is based on a 5.7 litre GM V8 block which drives
the boats original Hamilton 773 jet unit. High Noon is ideal for, to
quote van Asch, fanging.
Pride of place in the van Asch collection is his late-1970s Clipper
24, Clipper J, which he purchased from Ken Bush of Pauanui
about five years ago. Bush had owned Clipper J for 28 years and
had babied the boat. Van Asch, who doesnt believe in babying his
boats, soon found that the original engine had reached its use-by
date: It sounded like a heap of little men inside knocking away
with hammers, he says. Clipper Js engine was replaced with a
Volvo 330 petrol engine, sternleg and duo-prop. The engine is a
marine version of a GM 5.7 litre V8. She runs beautifully at speed.
The collection is kept in peak condition by Nigel Scott of the
Boat Shed in Wanaka and engineer Gary Dellow, who works full
time for van Asch. The four van Asch children sometimes need

persuading to go boating. When I suggest a day on the water, the kids moan, Do we have to
go boating? but once theyre out there its: Do we have to go home already? jokes their father.
A typical boating day usually includes another parent and another two or more children,
meaning two boats are required. Clipper J usually acts as the mother ship, with Apache, Seattle
or High Noon coming along as the fang machine and biscuit puller.
Tim Porter, Boating New Zealands executive publisher, lives in Wanaka and owns the diesel-
powered Clipper 24 Brampton. Inevitably, theres been some impromptu testing of who has the faster
Clipper. Both claimed the honours, but a little sleuthing revealed van Aschs petrol-powered Clipper
J was quicker out of the hole, while Porters diesel-powered Brampton had longer legs. Given the
competitive natures of these two, one suspects testing will continue.
T
he late Tony Mason designed the Clipper 24 in 1967, the rst of his
boats to be constructed in GRP. The early models had GRP hulls
with wooden decks and superstructure, while the later examples
were built entirely of GRP.
The Clipper 24 had a 24-degree deep vee monohedron hull with a
raked bow for dynamic lift in following seas and soft buttock lines to
prevent broaching. A long, straight keel line aided course-keeping, while
the deep vee kept machinery and tankage weight low for stability.
Three strakes were tted for spray deection for low, intermediate and
high speeds.
Clipper 24s are renowned for their sea keeping and handling,
especially in following seas. In their day, they had an excellent record in
offshore powerboat competitions, and variations of this hull have made
successful race boats.
Factory-tted engines were usually the Chrysler 5.7 litre V8 with a
Volvo Penta sternleg, although most of the later examples had a Volvo
Penta package based on the GM 351 block with a duo-prop sternleg.
This will drive a Clipper to 35 knots at out. A few Clippers were tted
with the bigger 427 block engine, delivering up to 45 knots. A few boats
were sold with twin engines, some with twin outboards, but the single
engine was by far the most common.
Twin stainless steel fuel tanks in the middle of the boat provide 270
litres of fuel and the Mason-designed four-wheeled trailer enables a
Clipper to be oated on and off single-handed.
Production ceased along with Mason Marine in the aftermath of the
1979 Boat Tax. Tony Mason died in 2008 after a brief illness.

A
pril 1 is a significant date for recreational anglers in
northern New Zealand.
Thats when new snapper size and bag limit restrictions
come into play in the Snapper 1 (SNA1) fisheries region,
the most heavily utilised recreational angling region in the
country. SNA1 includes Bay of Plenty, Hauraki Gulf and east
Northland, and while other species are caught, snapper is the main
target for the regions recreational anglers.
Whatever you may think of the new size and bag limits, they
become law on April 1, 2014. That means a new bag limit of seven
snapper of more than 30cm in length fewer fish and larger than the
previous limit of nine, 27cm-plus snapper.
A larger minimum size means well have to return a greater
portion of our snapper catch to the water and, for the new rules to
have any hope of fulfilling the Ministry of Primary Industrys goal of
rebuilding the stock to 40% of virgin biomass, those fish need to be
returned with a decent chance of survival.
However, careless handling and poor fishing practice has the
potential to kill thousands of undersize snapper. In some areas
where juvenile fish are common, anglers seeking 30cm-plus snapper
could potentially kill more small fish through poor handling than
they would have a month ago when 27-30cm snapper made up part
of their daily bag.
We anglers need to take responsibility here. Many recreational anglers
dont seem to give a damn about the welfare of the fish they throw back,
and the new limits will mean throwing back more undersized snapper
than ever before. That could mean a lot of dead fish.
But there are ways to limit the waste. Theres no point in fishing if
everything you catch is too small to keep, nor is it environmentally
responsible to continue wading through dozens of undersized
snapper in the hope of catching one thats legal. Fishing with
appropriate tackle, handling and releasing small fish carefully, and
moving away from areas full of juvenile snapper will reduce the
number of undersized fish that die as a result of our fishing efforts.
TARGET BIGGER SNAPPER
There are ways to target larger fish, just as there are ways to handle
and release small fish without seriously harming them. With fewer
snapper available to you, it makes even more sense to target the
bigger ones, releasing the small ones unharmed to help rebuild
Using lures is a good
way to target larger sh.
On April Fools Day, new snapper size and bag limit restrictions will come into effect
in the Snapper 1 sheries region so anglers need to target quality, not quantity.

RULES
DAY
the fishery. A couple of decent-sized snapper provides more good
eating than a limit of 30cm fish, and using tackle and techniques
that catch mostly legal-sized snapper reduces the incidental catch of
undersized fish that may die after release.
The best way to target bigger snapper is to use bigger hooks.
Bait fishers should use 5/0 hooks and larger because big hooks are
less likely to hook snapper and other species in the throat or gills
where they can do fatal damage. Fish are also less likely to swallow
large hooks hooks that penetrate the stomach almost always
kill. Youll still catch undersize snapper on large hooks, but theyre
usually hooked in the mouth and their chances of survival after
release are good.
If possible, use re-curved/circle hooks without offsets for bait
fishing. Circle hooks generally hook fish in the corner of the mouth,
which significantly reduces the chances of deep-hooking them and
makes releasing easy. Offset, ie, kirbed, circle hooks hook fish in the
throat, gills and gut almost as often as conventional J-hook styles.
Fish actively. Hold onto the rod and dont leave it in the rod
holder. That way you can react smartly to a bite rather than having a
fish swallow the bait before you can pick up the rod.
Use lures rather than natural bait. Lures tend to attract bigger
snapper and they are seldom swallowed, so most fish are hooked in
the mouth. Avoid very small lures they will only attract and hook
smaller fish.
No one says you have to fill your fish bin every time you go
fishing limit your catch, dont catch your limit.
HANDLE WITH CARE
Handle undersized fish or any fish destined for release, with care a
fish out of water is fragile.
Use a net. Small fish can be lifted on the line, but using a net is
better. Rubber enviro nets or nets with bags of soft fabric mesh do the
least damage.
Use wet hands or a wet towel to handle fish out of the water.
Never lie them on a dry, hot deck and dont let them flap about on a
hard surface. Removing slime or scales can result in skin infections
that kill fish many months after release.
Where possible, leave fish in the water while you remove the
hook. The best releases are those where the fish isnt handled at all.
No one says you have to ll your sh bin every time you go shing
limit your catch, dont catch your limit.
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Where possible leave a sh destined for release in the water when you remove the hooks; Hold small sh gently and rmly
using wet hands or a wet towel/rag to avoid damaging scales or their protective slime; Dont squeeze the gill plates too hard and keep your ngers out of the
gills altogether if you intend releasing a sh.
That way theres no risk of removing slime and scales.
Avoid squeezing the gill plate or gut regions and keep your
fingers out of the gills. Fingers easily damage fragile gill membranes,
which can seriously injure the fish, while pressure to the abdomen
can damage internal organs.
Consider using barbless hooks. Barbless hooks are less
damaging to hooked fish and easier to remove. Fish also shed
barbless hooks more easily than barbed hooks, which often work
their way deeper into a fishs body. Losing the odd hook in a fish is
unavoidable, but fish have a much better chance of surviving if the
hook is barbless. To make hooks barbless, squeeze the barb flat with
a pair of pliers. You wont lose any more fish to barbless hooks if your
rod technique is good: keep a working bend in your rod at all times
and avoid giving any slack line.
Use stainless steel hooks. Although many anglers believe
lost hooks embedded in fish rust out, studies have shown this
process takes a long time. For the victim, infection is common and
sometimes fatal. Stainless steel hooks dont rust and fish take longer
to shed them, but because stainless steel is relatively inert, stainless
hooks left in fish are less damaging than other hook types. Some of
the anti-corrosion coatings on steel hooks cadmium, for instance
may contribute to fish mortality.
Remove hooks using long-nosed pliers or similar de-hooking tools.
Avoid lifting deeply hooked fish on the line and dont use a
gobstick to unhook them for release. Instead, cut the line as close to
the fishs mouth as possible. Survival rates for gut-hooked fish that
have been studied are low, but tearing/twisting a hook out is a death
sentence.
Properly support a fish when its out of the water. Cradle bigger
fish in the crook of your arm, supporting their body weight. Dont lift
a big fish by the tail or by the gill plate.
Lures invariably hook
sh in the mouth,
which offers the best
chance of survival
after being released.

If you must lift undersized fish from the water, use a wet towel
or rag to hold them. Small fish come to hand in a lively state and flap
around a lot. Hold them gently but firmly to remove the hook and
slip them back into the water as soon as possible.
Always keep air time to a minimum. The sooner a fish is
unhooked and released, the better its chance of survival. If you must
lift a fish clear of the water for a photo, get organised first. Keep the
fish in the net in the water until you are ready and remember to
handle it with wet hands, gloves or a rag/towel. Be quick about the
photos and return the fish to the water inside 30 seconds.
Revive large snapper in the water by holding them upright
until they swim off of their own accord. This can take several
minutes when the fish is tired.
Snapper taken from deep water may not survive release. If the
swim bladder has ruptured or the fish is so blown it cant swim back
down, its likely to die. If most of the fish you are catching in deep
water are undersized, move to another spot.
A few weeks ago, this snapper would have been legal size but under the new
rules it must be returned to the water. If in doubt, measure carefully. Snapper in
SNA 1 must be 30cm from the tip of the nose to the V of the tail, not the tip.
When releasing larger snapper, take the time to revive them
in the water until they swim away of their own accord.

experience with some of them appreciating
the support of Team Windcraft Australia and
New Zealand professionals.
Despite light winds and grey skies,
everyone had a fabulous race with Ian Holt
on the Hanse 400 Devana claiming the win.
Peter and Margaret Stretton, owners of a
Moody 54 DS, took home the lucky door
prize of $1000 worth of Helly Hansen wet-
weather gear.
The overnight anchorage was Owhanake
Bay on Waiheke Island. Everyone enjoyed a
spit roast and drinks in the warm evening sun.

Bavaria makes
affordable boating Easy
USING EXACTLY THE same Farr-designed
hull as the popular Cruiser 33, the Bavaria Easy
9.7 is a pared-down version, intended as an
entry-level yacht. The Easy 9.7 concentrates
only upon the essentials. With an open stern,
spacious cockpit and tidy deck layout, she is
simple for single or double-handed crews.
Internally she is also fairly stripped out, with
the base boat not including a stove, fridge,
doors or shower. These can be added at the
factory when the boat is delivered.
If, however, you are looking for an affordable
brand-new yacht, then this is for you as it brings
the standard Bavaria quality, nish and warranty
at a start price of $159,454 including GST.

Indio on ICE
THE WALLY 100 Indio is one of the
top racing superyachts in the world
and, despite having no shortage of
comfort, is capable of speeds well into
the 20-knot range.
She has recently been tted out
with a new set of ICE Stratis sails from
Doyle Sails, whose new product is
making a big impact in the world of
grand-prix and superyacht racing.
As a super-light but strong bre, ICE
allows Doyle to make sails signicantly
lighter, which on big boats adds up to
dramatic savings in weight, boosting
performance.

Aboard the 50z, the quiet, compact and efcient Seakeeper unit ts neatly
in the utility room, forward of an optional side-by-side Miele washer and dryer.
The drawback of all powerboats is that they dont stay level because they all
roll, no matter how stable
otherwise. A Seakeeper-

all benets of power and
sail. It doesnt heel and it
doesnt roll.

steps down lead to a large and very functional galley. The cockpit is huge with the choice of either a xed table or game shing chair just off to port. Powered by twin 350hp
Yanmar engines she also has a 4.7kVa genset. Loaded with extras including a good array of electronics radar, shnder, chart plotter, autopilot, SSB, plus BBQ, outrigger poles,
rod holders, dinghy with new outboard and more. She has always been maintained to a high standard and is well presented in a turn-key condition. Recent Mike Menzies survey
available. We dont think this honey will last long at the recently reduced price of $575,000.

To find time of High Water (H) or Low Water
(L) at other places other than primary
ports shown. Note the time difference
indicated and add (+) or subtract (-) this
time difference from the appropriate chart,
i.e. to calculate the high tide in Tauranga
on the 1st APRIL, subtract the correction
time shown of 14 minutes from
the Auckland chart. 9.23am
- 14 minutes = 9.09am.
These charts are already correct for day-
light saving time.
