Question Beneteau Oceanis 36CC Upgrades

Hi,

We have recently (today!) purchased an Oceanis 36CC to cruise the Clyde and West Coast of Scotland initially and then further afield.

I would appreciate any advice or comments on proposed upgrades to the boat.

1) The standard 36CC does not seem to have a properly situated anchor cleat and many owners report retrofitting a cleat to the foredeck. Any advice or tips ? Do Beneteau have a recommendation?

2) Any advice on fitting an emergency forestay?

3) Can fittings and blocks be fitted for a cruising chute?

4) There seems to be a lot of mixed comment (good and bad) about the seaworthyness of these boats, can any owners report on good experiences?

Thanking you

John M.
