Ricardo! UN MILLON DE GRACIAS por avisar sobre el problema con el rudder. Beneteau nos hizo la reparacion la semana pasada y ya no tenemos que preocuparnos. BIG THANK YOU and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
It's wonderful that Beneteau sent some technicians to Bermuda to resolve the rudder bearing issue. A tesimant that Beneteau is very responisble for their product.
J-Boats also had many rudder problems with a few boats either dropping out of the Newport Bermuda race or having difficulty on the return trip.
I've sailed at least a dozen Beneteau's over the years and they've always been good.
A friend from Puerto Rico bought a 2007 Beneteau 50' last year. Spectacular boat!
Adios,
Pete
Hola Ricardo,
Es una lastima que usted tiene a descubrir el problema con el eje de timon en la passage a Bermuda. ?Esta haciendo el trabajo usted mismo, o tengan el astillero en St Georges para hacer el trabajo?
Parece que Beneteau USA es consciente del problema y estan ayudando ustedes.
Un question: ?Habla Ingles suficiente para el uso del Radio HF?
Buenos Suerte!

Our Oceanis 43 was recently serviced and since her return neither of the heads macerators are working. There must be a master switch located on board, trouble is I cannot locate it. Any assistance most welcome.BilgolabandsSee More
"Have a 2010 43 and whilst racing recently and well heeled over on port had similar experience. Only in the aft heads and haven’t as yet sorted out where the ingress came from but suspect the shower drain. Never happened before in 15 years with…"
I note there has been no activity on SeaKnots Beneteau 40/43 since early 2025.Is one of my favourite boating sites still alive and kicking?BilgolabandsSee More
