Ahoy Friends,Well, we completed our BVI trip a couple of weeks ago......What a blast!! The eight of us went out for a week on a 45' cat, the Dodger II and it was tremendous.

I sailed into a different cove every night. We did…See More

As I said before, we (4 couples) are bare-boating a 45' cat for 9 days in January. We are looking for additional suggestions for great anchorages, great food, nightlife, caution spots, etc. We have received several ideas, and as it gets closer to the trip, I am asking for any additional suggestions that we should see.
Anything current that we should know would be greatly appreciated as well!
We love to party, and we also enjoy basking in the sun at beautiful… Continue

Luis Vieira de Sá replied to sam's discussion fuel gauge accuracy in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Hello,
It was almost 6 years that I participated in the discussions about water and fuel level indicators in this forum. Only this winter I had a go on it. In particular I made the following:
a) installed 10-180 ohms sensors in the 2 water tanks
b)…"
Mike Brown replied to sam's discussion Head Hose changeout in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Sam, wow that's some serious blockage. Like James we too flush with fresh water. And like James haven't had any issues with hose blockage (that we know of) or odor. Actually we find our biggest source of odor in the heads come from the…"
