Reviews:
Kudos to both of you. I have read and written many marine technical documents during my 30+ year career as a Naval Architect. Your E-Book is very well done and a must-have for anyone planning to do blue water passages on a 40 to 46 foot Beneteau Oceanis of our vintage (2007 to 2012). These boats are very similar to each other in so many ways. It is now filed in my boat’s e-library. Thanks for taking the time to publish it!

Very good info. Additional stay seem well worth it for heavy weather and pointing. Any follow on info on what part of the forward stay or backstay that a handy owner might consider doing vs what best be done only by a rigger?
