Rare bird - A Beneteau First 260 resource

Our 2015 has started out well. With all races finishing on the podium in Thursday buoy, Sunday buoy, and Saturday Around the Inland races, we are set up well. The team(s) are working well together and the boat is really dialed in. Here's a couple of excepts from our regular GoPro recordings: A Sunday race in 20 knots, short-handed but we fly the 'big one' anyway. We're rewarded with a blistering downwind run. An upwind leg after a rounding, splitting the J/24 fleet on its way down.

I'm in the process of replacing my thrust bearing in my keel screw assy; as one of the races has broken. These parts are NOT available from Beneteau, but they were kind enough to send along the mechanical drawing that show the exact sizes of the bearings. The drawing is shown below, and the PDF version is HERE if anyone wants the detailed drawing.
