	Strategy for Protection of Marine Biodiversity For the Hauraki Gulf
		It is proposed that the area covered by the plan be that contained within the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park and that it would exclude the west coast and western harbours of Waikato, Auckland and Northland.

		Ive sailed lots in the Solent and H Gulf on Ben, Gen, Bav's and found them all to pound in choppy conditions.
		I'm familiar with the Solent and if the Gulf is comparable then I know what I'm getting myself into - and whilst the Euro design might be less than perfect under sail I'm happier with the accommodation side of things.
		But if the Gulf is signifcantly worse then I'd be worried enough to think again about priorities.
