Re: Autumn, and a Young Man's Fancy Turns to -- Heating His Boat

Hi Dockhead,

I agree that hydronic heating is great up here in the cold North. We have a Webasto thermo top but also use an electric heater with a circulation pump built into the loop, gives a max...

Re: Replace rod rigging or switch to wire?

Did consider dyneema/spectra. But none of the riggers here (Norway) have any experience with it. And want to sell me rod rigging. Anyone know if there is anything to change besides the terminals?

Re: Replace rod rigging or switch to wire?

That could be a solution, but none of the riggers want to do this, they say the rod itself is too old. One way to go about it is to try to re-head the rod and "hope for the best". The fore and back...

Replace rod rigging or switch to wire?

Hi all,

I have a Bene First 45f5 from 1990. The standing rigging is rod and most likely original and as such due for replacement. I have talked to a few riggers and they say change it all, no...

Re: New Blocks for Mainsheet on 45 Footer

It's more than terrible, and that is why I want to change it. The question still stands though, how do I properly size the blocks?

Re: New Blocks for Mainsheet on 45 Footer

Thanks for your input!

The blocks are not totally seized, but not far from it. The setup is actually 4:1, see photo.
The line is covered dyneema and 12 mm. I don't know how old it is, it was on...

New Blocks for Mainsheet on 45 Footer

After complaints from the crew (and myself) when taking in on the mainsheet during the last season I have had a look at the blocks in the system. They are a sorry bunch.

The boat is a Beneteau...

Re: Old B&G autopilot connected to new wind instruments?

The manual states that it is possible to connect a wind vane to a fastnet network and connect this to the Hydra. I'll have a look at the interface tomorrow.
Thanks for your input!

Re: Old B&G autopilot connected to new wind instruments?

Yes, all the new stuff is NMEA2000, and the Vesper AIS converts the sentences to NMEA 0183. I don't know if the chartplotter is any help, it's a Garmin 2010C from about -08.
The problem is still...

Hi all!

First post from a long time lurker, currently living aboard a 1990 Beneteau First 45f5.

When I bought the boat it was, and still is, fitted with a B&G Hydra2000 pilot, an ACP2 and ram...
