The days of building and sailing your own longboat away to rape and pillage have gone. Marine safety has been crushed by OSH. I don't even know if you could leave now in a home built boat. When I was a kid we were a yachting family and knew several people who either sailed here or sailed away...One guy I was at school with who was shall I say not the most clued up....had to be air lifted off his boat complete with wife and 3 kids on his return to NZ. The rest of the world was easy, our waters not so much...
I do hope Rastus hasn't joined Maritime NZ to direct traffic.
