    Béa and Chris,

    I can't offer any direct advice but since no one has
    piped up with any other suggestions....

    Apart from contacting the Beneteau people where you
    would probably get the company design information,
    since it is also a Moorings 51, have your tried to
    contact the Moorings staff? _Someone_ there (one of
    their delivery captains/crew?)_should_ know something
    about this and be able to tell you what you want to
    know.

    Now, I've got a few questions since I am in the
    process of looking, and, although not the design we
    are looking for, the info it might have some bearing
    on what we finally get. What are you doing to rebuild
    her and why? How long has it taken to get to the point
    where you are now? How long before you will have her
    finished and ready to go?

    Thanks and hope this helps.

    John
