Maybe the Beneteau built in Europe are a tad better than the ones built in the SE USA.
Remember, Neal once worked for another SE builder, Irwin. Probably much the same
workforce.

No new Beneteau, Catalina or hunter is as well built as most Pearson's,
C&Cs,
Tartans or Cape Dory's.
Ask any surveyor who knows sailboats.

Again, ask anyone who repairs or survey's boats how Beneteau stacks up. Maybe
everyone lies to Donal, or just maybe he read the rave reviews in cruising
world, but never spoke to surveyors. Few people do homework before buying a
boat. If they did Beneteau would have to improve their game.
