Windrider 17 Demo Days the 12th of September in Dunedin

New/Used Boat!
We sold the Sea Pearl and bought a 93 Hunter 23.5 in September. It was a little odd going back to a monohull, but we seem to be getting there. Lots of sailing events planned, check my website at www.flwwp.com

- Hello Bill,
I teach at ZHS so I've got the summer off and Hudson isn't too far away. I'm packing up right now for 5 days in the Keys on my buddy Dave's Mac 26X - he posts on this board too. I'm looking forward to trying the X out, it's on my shortlist for next boat. I like my Tri but something bigger - not as big as yours, our club, WCTSS, is centered on trailer sailing - for those 1 - 2 week opportunities. My Tri is flat out fun but it is like tent camping: after the 3rd day you are ready to go home. Keep an eye on our club board and join us on one of our Caladesi or Ft Desoto Cruises, we always have a good time.

Once the start battery is at 13.3V it switches charging to the house bank. It has colored LEDs that indicate where the charge is going and works well. BTW Beneteau put…"
foster replied to foster's discussion Serpentine pulley upgrade in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Thank you Scott and Mike for your experiences. Exchanging with John Stevens I had the same good feeling.

I am glad that you found my post informative. At this time of the year, I have the panels and the bimini top at home. I have just took 2 photos. As you can see, I have 4 "corner triangles" made in acrylic. That was the way I…"
Mike Brown replied to foster's discussion Serpentine pulley upgrade in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Denis I too installed an ElectroMaax but I went with the 140A model.

Scott MacLeod replied to foster's discussion Serpentine pulley upgrade in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Hi Dennis. I just did that upgrade 2 seasons ago and couldn't be happier with the results.

Serpentine pulley upgrade
Hello,Has anyone upgraded the Hitachi OEM alternator to a high output one with a serpentine pulley kit ?We currently have a Mastervolt 90 A with an alphapro regulator driven with a single v belt, I think it slips a little and was looking for an upgrade to automotive type serpentine pulley system.Thank you.DenisSee More
