Jim Ashworth commented on SeaKnots's group O'Day Corner"Ron, Welcome to the group. You will enjoy sailing. Now is the time to be sailing not rehabbing or updating. We leave a clipboard in the cabin and all season long we make notes of things that need to be changed or fixed so when I pull her out…"
Jim Ashworth's blog post was featuredAnew sailing year
Another year has passed. We were one of the lucky ones who took their boat away from the shore the Saturday before sandy hit. We brought her home to sit the winter out in the back yard. I hope we get some nice weather so I can get some work done on her before the season comes. I will keep everyone posted as we progress.

A short clip of Keyport Harbor and the preparation of laying out the mooring balls.
Jim Ashworth posted a videoI sit down along the bay thinking about the coming season and how much we really enjoy ourselves on our boat sitting out on the water. This short video is the Keyport mooring field which is usually full of sailboats. There is nothing, not even a boat in site. Sure it is depressing now, but in a couple of months, it will be a different story. After the season gets going, this area will be full of sailboats. All of us with that million dollar view. The video ends on the Keyort Yacht Club dock.

Jim Ashworth replied to Jim Ashworth's discussion Finding treasure in the group Everything Pirates"This past summer I continued the search. I was finally able to find the small island off Treasure Lake which is not an island any longer. There is an area that on an extremely low tide may become an island. We call this a sand bar…"
Jim Ashworth replied to Andrea's discussion How did you name your boat?"We named our boat Lil Provo. We have traveled the Caribbean for years trying to find that perfect little island. Our favorite place is Grace Bay on Providenciales. On the island they refer to it as Provo. Providenciales is…"
Jim Ashworth posted a status"August 28, 2011 we were hit by hurricane Irene. Our home and business were both flooded. Lil Provo made it through without a hitch."
Jim Ashworth commented on SeaKnots's group O'Day Corner"We have a '78 22' with shoal keel. So it sounds like the deck to you as well. I guess I'll have to try to find someone that can go below with a wrench, while I unscrew things from above.
Thank you."
Jim Ashworth commented on SeaKnots's group O'Day Corner"Oday Owners Help- While sailing I have been having some water end up on the cabin sole. I open the inspection opening to the bilge and it has minimal water. What would cause water to come in while sailing and high enough to only make it…"

Carien du Plooy said… Hi! Thanks for the friend invite. Seems that NJ has quite a few sailors. I'm currently still living in London, UK, but hopefully (fingers crossed) I'll be in the States (Jersey City) for good by the end of summer 2011. Have you got any nice plans for Xmas?

Mike Brown replied to Wayne's discussion Jammed Electric Cabin Top Winch in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"There's no circling on the 40/43 winches. It's simply a screw off collar. WD40 and a heavier hammer should get the job done."
Bruce Bogdanoff replied to Wayne's discussion Jammed Electric Cabin Top Winch in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Mike is correct. The is a vertical pin in the middle of the winch handle hole that pushed down and disengages the electric motor on the winch. Also, on my Oceanis 45, there is a circlip that holds the top on. I don't remember if the 40 electric…"
Wayne replied to Wayne's discussion Jammed Electric Cabin Top Winch in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Thanks Mike. I did use a light hammer but I do have heavier ones at work and I did use WD40. As for a disengagement pin, I didn't see one when I looked down in the top of the winch. I did see a small circular pattern in the bottom that I…"
Frank & Donna left a comment for Mike Brown"Thanks Mike, however I have tightened both attachments and if you grab the track in the middle you can move it side to side making the noise. I took it apart, slid the track forward to add tape to both side of the boom, than careful slid the track…"
Mike Brown left a comment for Frank & Donna"Frank your comment didn't show up in the discussions on the 40/43 site. It's simply a comment on your page. Not sure if others will see it. For what it's worth I don't have the problem on our boat. There are two pieces of…"
Mike Brown replied to Wayne's discussion Jammed Electric Cabin Top Winch in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"I can't imagine anything in the winch top that would bend. Other than the electric drive and a disengagement pin that activates when the winch handle is inserted the winch is the same as the others. It sounds like the collar is jammed due to…"

Jammed Electric Cabin Top Winch
Took care of the lint build up on the fridge condensers and the leaky shower sump this weekend. Then went to the electric cabin top winch to disassemble, clean and lube only to find the top cap wouldn't unscrew. It should have by light tapping with a screwdriver but to no avail.So I stepped it up a notch with a brass drift and screwdriver and again, no go. I then tried a steel drift and the cap never moved in the slightest. It is as if it was secured with permanent Lock Tite.Now when I say its…See More
Frank & Donna commented on CAN DRAC's group Beneteau 40 & 43"I'm having a knocking from the boom while sailing. The track on top of the boom is loose, but it can't be tightened any further. Has anyone else had this problem, if so has anyone found a solution"
