I keep intending to sell her but still she sits in the front yard on her trailer :) My wife doesn't even harass me to much to sell her as she loves that boat to.

If you've never seen or heard much about the F235 beneteau there is a great community site for them at http://beneteau235.com/ . It's a great community site and a lot of my inspiration to put up our website.

Valkyr our DE38 has a custom plate bolted to the mast covering the track the slugs go in if I remember right.

Though, I don't know if it's a "Small" or "Large."

I'm at a loss. would have to look at valkyr to even see how ours is set up there. Interested in what others have to say on this one.

I don't seem to have one of these and was wondering where and what to get? There's no hole in the track where I could put a bolt in  either.
