Here is a good web site that has a very good program for navigation.It will tell you just about what you ever need to know if your cruising and have a laptop.
Also a chart program I use is called Tiki Nav, It is made by a sailor for sailors.So he knows what is needed.

Good idea George, Not everyone knows or takes advantage of the NOAA free charts, you can get all US charts from NOAA but they are electronic, I have those on my laptop and use them as reference. But I am old school, I like paper charts. I have printed them with some luck but they are not so clear, even on my large format printer I use at work. And I also sail outside of the US.

Good idea Lola, Maybe this could become a spot to trade or loan charts. If you are just passing through an area you don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on charts that you are only going to use once so you could post a request for those charts hear then pass them on or return them after you have passed the area. Could work with cursing guides also.
Thanks

Wayne replied to Wayne's discussion Jammed Electric Cabin Top Winch in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Yep my boat is 8 years old, fresh water use only until last Aug, decommissioned for three years and the grease inside was more like a sticky paraffin wax if there is such a thing. Totally unacceptable. "
Wayne replied to Wayne's discussion Jammed Electric Cabin Top Winch in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"That's it Sam! I recall the main luff a tad loose while sailing, threw maybe three wraps on the drum and pulled it tight. Afterwards, it was jammed.
On a side I remember saying to myself "I shouldn't have done that while under…"

Mike Brown replied to Wayne's discussion Jammed Electric Cabin Top Winch in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Wayne, thanks for the update. You must have really put some pressure on that arm for it to flex that much. Glad to hear you got it apart and serviced. As an FYI next time use an appropriately sized piece of hardwood as the drift. Or lay the wood…"
