Default Beneteau First

What is the price for these two? More than the FT-10
at $44k.


I'm not even sure any dealers have plans to import either of
these two. The Beneteau 10R

done.


IIRC that was the price before it was agreed that everybody
wanted the carbon fiber mast.

... It remains to be seen how the FT-10 will do or hold up. The FT-10
is also bigger than either of the Beneteaus of course. If the FT-10 is
a dud it will be worth almost nothing.


At 80-something boats, it's already a bigger one-design
class than many.

And it's unlikely that a hi-tech sports boat will drop to
"worth almost nothing."

.... At least the Beneteau's will
have some value being from a major builder.


Spoken like a person who bases his opinion of a boat on the
advertising.
