Questions on Barkentine Dr. Gate

Fairfield Harbor is updating their security system to RFID entrance scanners that will eliminate the old code entry boxes. The old Code box will be replaced with a new card scanner call box.


Old box

RFID card reader gate entry box has some new features.


1. Camera - Security can see you/ you can’t see them.


2. Large circle middle - Reader sensor- Hold our new RFID cards within 6” of center.


3. Call button - bottom calls to main gate guard house 24/7

NOTE I now understand that the Barkentine keypad code box will NOT be changed out to the RFID card until JUNE 16th. Use the BSC code to enter the Barkentine Dr gate.

Main sail removal. Sherwood and Annsley

My daughter Annsley and I have a 93 Beneteau First 35s5 sitting in A34. Name Cheese Dip.

This boat is still new to us. This week we reviewed our hurricane plan. We walked through the all the steps, including removing a gear and anchoring process. This is when we discovered that we don’t understand how to remove the main sail. We don’t understand how to move or where the gate is to remove slugs / cars from the mast. What appears to be the gate looks like it is riveted in place, but not sure.

I would gladly meet anyone at the boat who thinks they could possibly show me how this sail comes off.
