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?

James Taylor replied to Chris's discussion Battery Charger in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"All great advice!
Did you check the charger's "battery type" selector switch position (flood,gel,agm)?
Our Dekka agm's ( 396ah house and 98ah engine) gave us over 7 1/2 years of usage before replacement. The batteries were still…"
Mike Brown replied to sam's discussion Teak seat metal protrusions in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Sam, I have not seen anything like that on my or others 40/43s. I don't understand why they would even do such a thing considering there's no other material they could drive a brad into. Grinding the tops off flush sounds like the right…"
Mike Brown replied to Wayne's discussion Anchor upgrade in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Peter, I've also lost the scupper covers. I installed rubber pipe insulation over each side of the bridle and it works well in keeping the bridle from rubbing on the covers. . They'll need to be replaced periodically as they'll get…"

sam replied to Wayne's discussion Anchor upgrade in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Yep, I too have snapped a couple of the clam shell drain covers off. I have a couple of spares, but may or may not replace this time. The slack didn't seem to be the ultimate cause. Seems that wind/tide shifts and wake surge would cause the…"
Peter Obetz replied to Wayne's discussion Anchor upgrade in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Sam, we are the essentially the same. Using the same mantus bridle as you. Quick question to you and any others using a bridle. We had the bridle rubbing the sides of the bow in a recent storm and it ended up snapping off the…"
sam replied to Wayne's discussion Anchor upgrade in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"On Longhawk we use a Rocna 20KG. I changed out the chain gypsy when new to one that handles 5/16 high Test chain. Then I went with 175 ft of 5/16 HT chain tailed with 200 ft of three strand.(overkill, but I had the rode as supplied new).
