I am considering getting the following Radar Tutorial CD from
http://www.bennettmarine.com
if it provides more insight into the E 80 radar use beyond what is in the
E-80 manual. (See CD contents below ) Does anyone have any experience with
this CD and do you think it is worth getting for $35 US?

Paul,
I have a Spartite mast collar. It stuck so well last time I had to take the
entire fitting out of the deck. It was only 8 or 10 bolts, but the Spartite
wouldn't release like it should have. I installed it, so it could be my

Joel,
Having delivered a wide variety of Beneteaus to the Caribbean fleet, I
generally agree with your assessment. Most of them couldn't go to weather
to save their souls. They are aimed at people who want boats that sail
easily, not necessarily efficiently. Most folks are more comfortable

I almost can’t believe that it is 1 inch deflection. You might be scoring the

Ron,
I would venture to say that if you use the hold down line (tied to the
gooseneck) you move your attachment point ever so slightly down. When you tie
the loop under the spreaders, your attachment point is above spreaders (the
loop is most likely longer than the circumference of the mast). W
Wow, that really didn't take much.

Yes, the prop looks great and feathers and unfeathers very smoothly and
easily by hand.
One thought that occurred to me is that the max prop might have been

In the assembly process one has to match the gear on each blade to t
I agree, it is scary. I may be double-counting the deflection - I'm just

Thanks for the ideas.

A word of caution about your process:
The Quaker City Yacht Club in Phiiy (where I used to keep my 25) has a jib
crane next to a well where members unstep masts before winter storage or for
servicing.

tension on the crane
