Hi Sal... Been sailing that 272LE yet? There's a whole great big world of water out there waiting for you to explore. And don't forget about the owners' rOnDAYvous in Long Island this July. If you can't sail down, consider driving down and getting some sailing time on other people's boats.
Good Morning, Have you taken any photos of your boat yet we can see.? I have been out 4 times w other sailors...things went wrong ea time. Email me under your name where says..Send a message.
Hey lady, long time no... nothing! I hope the winter's been treating you OK up there in the great white north. Only 5 more weeks till spring, and sailing season can't be far behind. If you're on Facebook, look me up, and sign up for the O'day Sailboat Owners group on FB. This way you'll be assured of staying in the know as far as big O'day happenings like the 2009 rOnDAYvous. Catch ya soon.
Hi Sal... Boat still in the water? Mine's awaiting haulout (boo-hoo!). Let's hope for a quick, mild winter. And stay tuned for info on the 2009 O'day owners rOnDAYvous.
Sally, I'm a relatively novice cruiser myself. My recommendation is to not sail it alone...take along a crew member, it will be so much more fun and safer too!
Hi Lola! I so admire you for tackling those seas! The next time around should seem easy, no? I haven't been out by myself yet as I'd hoped...a combination of selling-my-house issues, divorce stuff and problems with my boat's engine. I have enjoyed using her as a get-away place in her berth. So everything's forward movement and good.....just not sailed by myself...YET!
Ahoy Sally,
I went to college in New Hampshire in the White Mountsins. Now I prefer the Caribbean. I am a US Sailing Certified Instructor through Coastal Passage Making and Navigation. I taught at the Offshore Sailing School out of Tortola in the BVI and am moving to Puerto Rico in a year or so. You must have a short season in NEw Hampshire. I have been in San Francisco Bay for many many years and it is very cold hear in the fog in the summer.
Fair winds and smiles and smiles to go.....

Hi Sally... The exact dates for the 2009 rOnDAYvous have not yet been set (neither has the location), but I feel safe in saying that it will be one of the two mid-July weekends. In other words, either the weekend after the 4th of July (the 10th through 12th) or the following one. If you're willing to make it the first item on your 2009, I'll make sure that you're the very first person I share the news with. Oh, and good luck with the house sale.
"Wayne, yes I'm still out here. She's looking good and you'll love her. The 38.1 is a perfect size for 2 people with occasional guest (s). Plus she's a sweet sailing boat. I'll attach a short video of one I was delivering…"
"Sam, I am just in the process of replacing both of my eyebrow windows. I have the new ones from Beneteau and am talking with dealer in Florida re Bebeteaus advice. It would be helpful to talk to you about your experience. I have never seen…"
Good morning gang,I have received both port and starboard cabin windows from Beneteau for replacement as the existing leak and are badly etched. Beneteau has referred me to the dealership for installation but I'm having trouble getting a response. Does anyone have any experience replacing these and any recommendations. JohnSee More
"Hello Randy,
New to the group, going through the posts, I have come upon this thread. I was considering tinting my windows of my Beneteau 43 with a darker tint, but I really like your idea. So I will copy with…"
