Shaggy,
Where were you there is a rise off Green Is but at it still has 3m over it at Low tide.
There is a spot I use to fish closer to the red off green but it's not marked as a rise, but I note someone on navionics have marked it as the Green Bump

G'day Seabird,
yep, the Green Bump looks about right ! I can attest to the depth at LAT is only 2.2mtr.

Shaggy
What do you mean, I told you about "Ox Rock" last time I went sailing with you.
Called 'Ox rock" because the Ox put the Sydney 41 up there.
Datum is far less than 2.2 as well in one spot off the sounding mark.
I did a rough chart and sent to MSQ years ago and from memory the MSQ chart has close to the correct datum of 1.65m reduced.

What did I do ..... here goes...gave our Perkins 4236 a Birthday! Pulled heat exchanger off, pulled gearbox oil cooler off and serviced, took head off, planed head, relplaced exhaust valves, had injectors cleaned and serviced, replaced cracked engine mount, relocate gearbox oil cooler, fitted new Bowman heat exchanger, replumbed oil cooler and gearbox oil cooler, fitted new thermostat housing, re hung alternator on new bolts and bracket, fitted new down draught inlet manifold, modified exhaust, serviced engin, fitted gate taps in block for new hot water Collins unit to plumb into, cleaned bilge!
Other than that not much!!

so new motor then

Not quite a new motor but there is not much that has not been through with a fine tooth comb!

Its not finished yet but so far so good
I've got a short bolt holding the pump handle I think Ill add a spacer and longer bolt to the handle can be in a more natural position

love the pump

Many thanks to South Ace it would have been hard to find spares so it electric now be I keep all the spares
I just stuck a piece or srink wrap on the bold for now Ill cut some tubing it would be a bit naught to try and fit a button switch under the top Id have to drill a hole into the top and I dont want to do that a button some where else will do

be good for washing the dishes in sea water

buy a few of these for drinking water 20 litre fill then up with know good drinking water

Finally! After months of trying, we managed to get measured today for our ORCI certificate. Everything has to come off the boat first, imagine turning your boat upside down, if it can fall out it comes off. The only thing left when we finished were the lines and the boom, 5 of us took over 2 1/2 hours to get everything onto the dock.
Sails went up on the grass and measured, then we had to test for stability. We rigged a couple of spinnaker poles for supporting a series of weights , and using a water level the heel angle is measured and recorded. The distance to the weights from centreline is recorded also.


We were getting results like 100 kg of weights at approx 3mtrs will give you a heel angle of one or two degrees.


Then the weights are moved one at a time to the opposite beam, each time a dataset is created. What this does is help find the boats centre of gravity, which is then entered into the boats electronic reference file which allows you to virtually rotate the boat through the heel angles, building a GZ curve, which helps calculate your ORCI handicap number.
Good fun, I learned a lot. Then we had to put everything back on the boat again. Not so much fun.10 hours start to finish, tired but a great day.

Because of a few very dodgy French (read Beneteau 45) builders certificates, Sailing Australia will not accept builders data.

Have we lost interest in our beloved boats? Where's the updates H2o and Crisco kid ? I'm waiting to get on the slip before Christmas for a Antifoul and cut n polish after 3 years and never seen the boat out of the water.

In the mean time I have been updating the interior with new carpets and upholsterys as well as other improvements and cleaning!

Also just replaced the element in my new 2 year old Italian made hot water service.... Bloody calcium in this town is crazy.

Seeing as you asked.
I installed a pair of nip pourers so I don't spill too much of my favourites!!




And some LEDS in the cockpit




Both can be dimmed

When is the next party Lazz and how many women do I have to bring???

Saw you taking all that gear off and noted you were entered in that days French Yacht Challenge. Thought you were getting a bit serious.

Second Wind is still a work in progress as is all the real estate crap that takes up my time.

The mast is nearly ready to go back up after I cut an exit slot for the second spinnaker halyard and thread it.

She has been on the hardstand for a year now at a cost of $7020 so I am not too worried if she is there a little longer.

The plan is to not have to slip again for at least 2 more years.

Gees Cisco I pay $3000 per year for a nice safe Marina berth although it costs me $2000 for annual haul out still saving $2000 less than you and can use the yacht anytime I pleasure.

Im sticking to a 3 year haul outs with hempal anti-foul and the occasional diver scrub.

I'm only looking at the bark on the tree the yacht in the background is just a bit out of focus.
