I drilled a hole in the cabinet behind the navigators seat and then put a nautical looking lashing on the lamp so that it is held up high enough to open and close the lid. It sits there nicely and is not in the way. All it really needs is a nice s...
Hi Geoff
I am in NZ and entering our third summer on our 43 which is a 3 cabin and which we (occasionally) charter. Definitely you need to upgrade batteries and charging ability for extended cruising. Have added a gennaker and will add a pole, wif...
Hi Geoff
I have replaced one plastic shackle attaching the sail to the car with a stronger one, but other than that I haven't had a problem on my 43 and have sailed her with 2 reefs in on a few occasions. The electric winch hauls it up nicely and ...
Hi Geoff
I'm in NZ and have a 43. I went with the lazy jack system. I had inmast on my previous boat, it was an older system and I found it to be a pain in the proverbial. The systems are better now, but I wanted as much sail as possible and sail ...
Greetings. I put a Manson Supreme (NZ Made) on mine which is a bit like a Rocna if you know that brand. The Manson is a great anchor but I had to modify the roller by adding a rocker so that when launching the tip of the anchor didn't hit the bow ...

Hi Scott
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I have been away.
I thought I had the only 2008 Bene 43 ( the new shape) in NZ but maybe I am wrong. I have put a smart charger on mine but may need a second alternator on someday. Your skills ...
Hi Denis
I have the only 43 in NZ with Hull 125 x Europe. I was thinking about an arch and would love a few more pics of yours showing some more detail, if you don't mind. Yours looks very cool.
Thanks and good sailing

Well being a sailor and all I couldn't fathom the thought of getting a pet without having a nautical name. So one day I ended up with a female cat and named her Gale S.
The name spelled Gale was after the winter gales we got in New England that t...
Love the galley.. don't know why Hunter change it to the new style which is so non functional.. Can I get more pics of yours? I am thinking of a total redo next year to your setup.. Where is the water manifold? The only thing that would keep me fr...
