Beneteau First 235 Forums

The 265 is... in my opinion, UGLY, but it does have the headroom you're looking for with the trailerability. If you're willing to forgo the trailer... a Pearson (Commander for daysailing/racing throu ...

YOWZA!!

You might check in with Jake & Bry about PI. I don't know how interested they are in another boat, but it's worth a shot. Their 235 is setup as a racing machine, so may not be at the comfort lev ...

Ed,

Have yer buddy make an offer on Pi. She has been extensively race equipped. Unless he one of those sissy comfort sailors (like me...heh).

Seriously though, if you're looking for a raceboat ...

Nah,

But it's nice to be able to tell my friends that they can get one too, especially if I find one that's a particularly good deal!

Asking Price?

Hey Guys, Welcome aboard.

We look forward to hearing of your further adventures with her. There's a virtual ton of information on this forum. Make good use of the search feature, and it definite ...

Hi Karen,

I see that you're south of Columbus. Will you be sailing exclusively on your lake, or traveling up to Lake Erie? I've heard that the Sandusky area is a nice place to sail (Although you ...

Caryn, Do you have a trailer?

Nope,
Read the ad. It's on jacks, and (if I read through lines well...which I may not as tonight was Men's Night at the club, and I've had a few Mt Gay & tonics...) appears to be like mine with ...

Jake knows that his opinion is much appreciated. I hope you'll stick around and stir the pot.

No. He put a disclaimer on it. There was a recent (ok last 5 yrs) court case, I'll dig up the news article, where a picture hosting company sold a girls picture to an anti-acne med ...

Congrats,

So she's staying on Lake Ontario? Woooohohohhohooooo!!!

As an aside, the kids and I are going up to Skaneateles Country Club in Central NY to see the Lightning 70th Anniversary regatta over July 4th weekend.

You should be driving right past Jon and nea ...

I think that i recall someone saying it was pear...MIKE??????

I just redid my kitchen ceiling with this. It is available in the US in any big box hardware-type store (Lowes, Home Depot, etc). It is in the sheetgoods section near wainscotting (if they have it). ...

One interesting thing about the beadboard. The horizontal lines visually stretch the space. I do like the look of the vertical lines in the galley, but I think you guys are right. Consistency would ...

What do you use the piece of line at the top of that last picture for?

Michael,

I would, but it's winter...the boat is already on the trailer for the season. If you still need one come spring...try me again. Especially if it's for someone on Lake Ontario!!

I'm sure that others will pipe-in on this one...

I recall that there was one member with a Kickup Rudder. It used to be called Faster Pussycat, and is now Gitana. Saltymon is her owner, and could ...

heh...every time I jump in straight up & Down

I saw one of these in Sacketts Harbor last fall...It looked to me as if someone had taken a giant pneumatic hose and inflated one of our 235s. I found the effect...somehow...distinctly aesthetically ...

The 2.9 ft draft is the complete draft from the water line and not the wing keel only? Correct (Just making shure here) :) (only 4ft of H2O at my current birth)

I am also wondering, if I purchased ...
