Did Bill Tilman have a seaworthy boat? Would it have passed your NZ
compliance rules?


It sure *looked* like a good seaworthy boat. Don't forget the safety
inspection includes the abilities of the skipper.

Hmmm, that's basically an avoidance answer. Would Tilman's boat have
passed the NZ compliance rules or not? It's a really simple question.
