He built a "chris craft" style mahogany skinned boat for the Talleys at our Nelson site. I did all of the mechanical and electrical side of it, So I fabricated everything out of 316 stainless, Engine mounting plates? Stainless, Little bracket to hold some stupid thing? Stainless. You want period style gauges? sure thing! I proceeded to buy the most expensive Hot Rod style gauge set that I could find. I spent as much money of theirs as I could. Unfortunately I couldn't talk the Talleys into a period correct engine, so I had to put in a diesel yanmar.... yawn. Got along alright though, I got it up to 32 Knots on the sea trials, coz you know im going to test the fuck out it Thanks for listening to my sharn 13 8 Quote

GARDRB Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 Just found this while looking to see if anyone is sailing on here. We just watched Hold Fast coz of the recommendation. That dude Moxie Marlinspike is a pretty big deal in computer security. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moxie_Marlinspike 1 Quote

yoeddynz Posted December 3, 2025 Author Posted December 3, 2025 Oh great! Are you local in motueka. Feel free to pm me but as far as history goes @JustHarry is the fella to ask because it was his mums boat a couple of owners before us. Definitely please post up progress pics and keep this story alive. It's a neat little boat! Alex 2 Quote
