"I have used Boracol treatment once or twice a year. Keeps the black spots away, maintaining a grey patina.

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).
For a short…"
sam replied to Dave Shore's discussion B43 wheel leather in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"My wheel leather is shot. Not only do I have spots of eroded / worn areas but the stitching is now going also. Instead of trying to salvage the Cordavan/ Buckskin or whatever color they call it, I plan on stitching up some new elk leather grey…"

Teak seat metal protrusions
All knowing list....I have a new question.My boat is 9 years old now, and the teak seats are beginning to have metal "brads" sticking up out of the teak. My teak has weathered, as I am of the natural teak camp, not varnishing or oiling heavily. Has anyone else seen this? Did Beneteau use brads of some sort along with the mastic? I plan on taking a small grinding bit on my dremel tool and touching each one until they are no longer standing proud, then do a little light sanding. Thoughts and…See More

THANK YOU
My boy 'Moose' has been on the boat a lot this summer.
I think he prefers the boat over his home . I have a hard time getting him off the boat when it's time to go home.
Yep... 'he's a great sailing dog'... :-)
I just HAVE to say hello to you, from one Dachshunds owner to another. I used to breed, train and show Longhaired Dachshunds for many years and now I'm owned by one Mini Lonhaired Dachshund, named Moose. He's a true sailor's dog and a great joy. Check out my site and you'll see pictures of him.
I bet your two wieners are guarding the boat and bark at everything and everyone. They are beautiful. !!
