Yesterday was probably the last sail for th Heart of Gold in
2006....though I might squeeze in one more. For the first half hour there was no wind, but it slowly picked up over the rest of the afternoon....and then it got COLD! We did finally get to try out our fancy sails..... http://youtube.com/watch?v=jlC4hXFU7OU Robert Beneteau 35s5 "Heart of Gold" City Island, NY |

Your video was nice.
We you know something about the Beneteau 33.1 and 34.3. I planning on buying a new boat before spring and the Beneteau 33.1 and Hunter 33 are on my short list. TIA "Capt.

![]() Your video was nice. We you know something about the Beneteau 33.1 and 34.3. I planning on buying a new boat before spring and the Beneteau 33.1 and Hunter 33 are on my short list. Thanks! The 331 and Hunter 33 are certainly good family boats for the money. My general feeling has been that Hunter has stepped up the build quality in the last few years, so if you're looking at very recent boats Hunter may be a better pick, unless you have serious plans to race. Many will say the Beneteau's sail better, but that may not be the only consideration when choosing. I do prefer the Beneteau's looks. You should try joining the Beneteau group on Google, it's the largest and you can get better feedback there by far. Good luck, Robert 35s5 NY |

@e3g2000cwe.googlegroups.com: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jlC4hXFU7OU Crap! You have to use Macromedia's crapware to view them. God knows what it's doing in background while you're watching the pretty pictures. I was reading a NY Times news article the last time I had Macromedia's crapware installed. There was a flash movie playing a spam that bothered me reading, so I right clicked on it and a popup window asked me if I minded the New York Times turning on my WEBCAM AND MICROPHONE SO THEY COULD WATCH INSIDE MY HOUSE! I spent another hour cleaning the crap off my machine. All of you should, too. Youtube can post mpg files....but then they wouldn't get the "Payload" installed on your system.

@f16g2000cwb.googlegroups.com: Robert 35s5 NY Robert....sail her offshore to Charleston. Plenty of room at Charleston City Marina. Tell 'em you want to be on J-dock where the nice people live. Call us on 16 and we'll be standin' on the finger pier ready to tie her up. Come straight down the Charleston Jetties and take the port at Ft Sumter. Easy to find City Marina just beyond the CG base. J-dock is 2nd from the bridge on the other end. Winterize.....how awful. Winterize in Charleston means we switch the heat pumps over to HEAT from COOL where they've been running all winter....(c; BYOB appreciated. Hell, we got a nice CORA race on NEW YEARS DAY! Bring that Beneteau down and have a go! Look behind you for an Amel Sharki straggling along with a helluva handicap...das us! http://www.charlestonoceanracing.org/ http://www.charlestonraceweek.com/ Here's what we do in JANUARY!: http://charlestonyachting.blogspot.c...stbite-race-2_ 113865177510435822.html Then, of course, before trudging back up Nawth in the Spring, you'll sail her to Daytona Beach for a little peck at the Gulfstreamer, 225 miles of great offshore racing to Charleston! I sleep for days after she touches the dock...(c; http://www.hryc.com/gulfstreamer.php Oh, so pretty 200 miles off the Georgia coast wondering how much faster she'll go!....

I know what you meen though. It takes regular pruning to keep all the garbage-ware from hopelessly cluttering ip your computer, and WinDOZ doesn't help. For my next machine, I'm going back to a Mac.
