Re: Did anyone beach or fall dry a Lavezzi, Lipari or Athena?

I beach my Mahé 36 mainly for fun and sometimes to clean the propeller. The first picture is on the beach of Oxwich Bay on the Gower Peninsula, Wales. Because the sand was not too hard the tip of the...

Re: Did anyone beach or fall dry a Lavezzi, Lipari or Athena?

A bit late, I don't know if your question is still open, but we have a Mahe 36 and we have beached it several times without a problem. She sits perfectly upright. If you want to I can post a picture....

Re: Owners

Hi Neil,
Ah, I see, the Holyhead effect. We were there for the first time in 2013, a beautiful marina. We still had our monohull and we used a mooring. In 2020 I was there again, what a sad sight…...

Re: Chain size 8mm or 10mm and how much did you fit in chain locker

On my Mahe 36, a bit smaller than the Lavezzi and the Athena, I went from 10 mm to 8 mm (Maggi Aqua 4 = grade 40). Same strength but much lighter and takes up less room. Very happy with it.

Re: Owners

Hi Niel,
Welcome in the Mahé group. The Bristol Channel is a nice place to sail. We were there in 2018 in our Mahé Joy. We didn’t go as far as Cardiff but we were in Swansea Marina and anchored in...

Re: Owners

The breakers are in a box under the port bed, on the starboard side.
When you are sitting on your knees to look under the bed it is on your left.
Succes!

Re: Rig and Sails

Yes Martyn, I used the same batten hardware for the new sail. I only had to add one batten car for the extra diagonal batten.

Hi Martyn,

Hi Rufduck,
Not much reactions on your question about the square head mainsail…

You are right, Rabbi, for some strange reason Vesslfinder had put my boat in Antwerp. It is at least 6 years ago that I have been there with my previous boat and I didn’t even have AIS by then.

Nothing wrong with Belgium, but as you said I am from the Netherlands. The boat is in Hellevoetsluis, south of Rotterdam.

On the Portside of the bimini, towards the rear, I made an extra hand hold. When walking on the port hull and stepping into the cockpit I felt I could use an extra grip. It works great, it feels al...

Re: Anchor and Windlass

Cotemar, I shamelessly copied your idea of fixing a steel bar over the anchor roller to prevent the chain from jumping out, which you again borrowed from Takemoana.

The extra heater would only be to heat the saloon while the Eberspächer warms up the bedroom and the head before we go to bed.
