Final update on Cyclone Vaianu tonight in Whangarei, New Zealand. We have thankfully been pretty well sheltered here in the boatyard and haven’t seen more than 40-45 knots tonight as the winds reached their peak. But we’re hearing reports from friends nearby that the winds are almost double that nearer Auckland and Great Barrier. We hope everyone stays safe overnight and we look forward to some respite tomorrow before the wind swings and picks up again for the second half of this weather event. Good luck everyone! Take care of each other! #cyclonevaianu #cyclonewatch #newzealand #newzealandcyclone #newzealand

Performing sailing pre-passage checks on a sailboat ensures a safe and successful voyage. Ensuring the automatic bilge pump works is one important aspect of these checks. The automatic bilge pump removes any water that enters the boat, whether from rain, waves, or leaks. If the bilge pump is not working, the water could accumulate and cause the boat to become unstable, affecting the boat's performance and putting everyone onboard at risk. By checking the automatic bilge pump before setting sail, you can ensure that it is functioning properly and that any water that enters the boat will be promptly removed. This reduces the risk of damage to the boat and helps prevent potentially dangerous situations from developing. Discover three reasons our automatic bilge went off while sailing so you know what to do if it happens to you.
