Nice looking boat! Did you find a used one or are you
buying new? Trailer? Wheel or tiller?
Did you sail one, how was it? Where are you going to keep
her? What's the towing weight?
I see the beam is 8'4'', that's good!
Can't wait to see her,

Scotty

Thanks Scotty (and everyone else for the congrats!) I'm high as a kite right
now and can't wait can't wait can't wait to get her in the water!

This boat is perfect for me, sound enough for some coastal adventures,
dainty enough for some serious gunkholing. Towing weight is somewhere around
6K, per the current owner (not verified). But I'm pulling with a Dodge Ram
2500, 5.9L so I'm not too worried. And, I'll probably keep it in a slip for
much of the season. While I have my father around, I'll probably keep it
near him (South Jersey shore). Eventually I'll replant in the Chessy. In the
meantime, I'll be dropping her in and feeling my way around in your waters.

Anyway, it's a 2004, here's the list of options provided:

Wheel steering
Lazy jack system
Trailer, galvanized steel, tandem axel, surge brakes
Yanmar diesel, 2GM20, 18 hp, heat exchanger cooled
Wheel steering
Self-tailing Andersen sheet winches
Dodger

135 genoa with luff tape
Schaefer Snapfurl headsail furling unit
Headsail sun cover, sewn on, Sunbrella (navy blue)
Stainless opening ports with screens (8)
Teak privacy door on head compartment
Deluxe fabric on interior cushions
ST40 Bidata Depth/Speed sounder with alarm, pedestal mounted
ST40 Wind with masthead windvane, pedestal mounted
ST40 Compass, pedestal mounted
Standard Horizon Fixed VHF radio with masthead antennae
Standard Horizon RAM mic remote VHF in cockpit
Saturn compass
Ceramic marine head with holding tank
Origo single burner non-pressurized alcohol stove
Shore power, includes cable
Hawspipes, stainless
Stern rail with seats (cat perches, 2)
Cockpit cushions, closed cell foam, textalene fabric, light beige color
Boarding ladder
Transom weatherboards, used to close transom when necessary
Battery charger, 3 stage, 20 amp, 3 bank
Starting battery, group 24 with box
House battery, group 24 with box

Sounds really great! Where is she lying and how'd you find
her?

I was going to ask about the open stern, but now I see
you've got boards.

Does that mean that the ice box drains into the bilge?

Is there a manual back up for the dagger board?

Scotty

She's in the water, Ithaca, NY., on Lake Cayuga. I have been searching for
many months now, and have driven many many miles to look at boats that
didn't work for me. I zeroed in on this one and contacted the owner. We hit
it off and by coincidence, we're both former Starwind 19 (Precision) boat
owners. So (yesterday) I told the wife to grab a jacket and we'd go for a
ride. We got in the car and she said, "where to?" and I said, "Ithaca, New
York, it's only 8 hours round trip and I'd like to look at a sailboat
there." She called me an a--hole and then we went and bought a boat.

The ice box doesn't drain into the bilge, I believe it is pumped out but I
don't know the particular configuration just yet.

There is a manual system for the dagger board in case the elec winch fails.

I really dig that open stern. : )

Congratulations. Great looking boat. I saw one sailing in St. Joe's
Bay last spring and it really looked good. Can't wait to get some
sailing reports. That's one that is on my short list. Based on what
you said you want to do, I think it may be perfect. I think it may be
a little too heavy for what I want to do.

Frank

Thanks Frank,
I'll keep ya posted and get some pics.

I hope your new boat is more reliable than your server. :-0~ I just now managed to log on because
it's been overloaded or something. Anyhow, the boat looks good. I don't know if I could go with an
electrical keel lift. It's bound to burn out or jam at the worst of times. Is there a way to hand crank
it up and down if your battery goes dead? And, the price of Seawards is just too rich for my blood.
Sort of like Island Packets. You pay way too much for what you get.

Cheers,
Ellen

Yeah, isn't it odd how that website keeps coming up errors?
Just keep clicking on the link though, and the target usually works after
about 6 tries. Geez!

Maybe you should look at this: http://www.beneteauusa.com/sail/curr.../323_equip.php
For just a little more money you can get twice the boat. A swing keel is an option. 2'7" draft.

Cheers,
Ellen

Bene's are gorgeous - if I had the bread I'd own one for sure.
