Hi all Bernie here from New Zealand. I have been through a few trailer sailers Plywood and Glass, Also a 20 ft Kauri Carvil plank sloop. and then my last was an H28 which was my dream boat an 80s era glass boat which we had to sell at the time and looking again now.

Howdy Bernie! Welcome Aboard CF!

There are quite a few sailors from NZ here on CF. You can see the list by going to the Community tab on the menu bar, then do a "search members" and input "New Zealand" in the search field. Many members from NZ.

I will post some of my favorite tips for new members below. They may not be what you expect, but I believe they will help you in the near term and in the long run if you intend to spend much time here on this forum and if you wish to gain the most from the knowledge available and shared here etc.

There is a free Cruiser's Wiki associated with this forum.
There is a LOT of free content in that wiki. Including "cruising guides." Take a look at the Cruising WIKI that is found via the tab up on the top menu bar of the forum. It has a LOT of information in it you might find fun, interesting, or helpful.

There are also some "social groups" within the forum that are more focused on special interests.
Cruisers & Sailing Forums - All Groups


Looking for Quick Answers?

This is the best and fastest method I have found to the answers I seek here.
Since you are relatively new to the forum, here is my favorite friendly forum search tip: Look at the green menu bar on the forum pages for the drop down "Search" menu. Click on that to drop down a list of search functions. From that drop down menu select the GOOGLE CUSTOM search feature (the second box down) and then enter several different descriptive terms for your topic of interest. That will do a Custom google search of ONLY this site and it is likely to find answers to your questions or results for you. Note: this is different from using the regular forum search box or field. Also note, this is NOT found if you use the CF app. It IS found if you use a web browser such as Safari, etc.
