Wal, True, but if they used a Bene for All is Lost, it would have been a short, not a feature length film!​ Joel On Wed, Dec 10, 2014 at 3:55 PM, Wally Bryant via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > You have to know your boat. When I first considered buying Stella Blue I > asked this li

You have to know your boat. When I first considered buying Stella Blue I asked this list (on Sailnet at the time) whether it could cross an ocean. No one knew me then, and the reply I remember was "It's the sailor, not the boat." Wal Danny wrote: I chatted with a guy who owns a Bene 393.

My personal displeasure with Beneteaus begins with my personal beam. Chartered a 32 and had tight squeezes into the aft cabin and head. Same into the forward head on a chartered 43. No problem with my current C&C 34. But as much as we love the C&C brand, they are/were subject to cost generated con

Danny, At least the Jenneau sails better than a Bene. Maybe try a Catalina 38 or 40, Bavaria,or Dehler. (Some of the Cat 36s were not put together well. I can't give you years, but bulkheads were not fully tabbed, cabinets were screwed, not bolted) IMHO, all are a set up in quality. Joel On
