We are newbies to cruising(not sailing) and the Beneteau 235 . Love the boat. I have tried to join the "Beneteau First 235 Forums" twice but have only received an email from the administrator stating I am not registered and a further email will be sent...waiting since August? Any insight would be appreciated. Registering on this site was seamless and I look forward to the wealth of shared knowledge available . I have a number of questions but the winters are long here in Canada so I will pace myself. Heading to the marina today to finish tucking her in for winter. All the best.
