More on Beneteau
 

From the J-Group again

ust a couple more points. The First series is Beneteau's race/cruise line
with the efforts to try and build One Design fleets and popularity,
especially around the 36.7 and 40.7. These efforts are not panning out as
well as hoped. With out a doubt there will be and is more J109s racing and
OD competitions than the 36.7. These are serious factors to consider. The
reason of course is resell and while all J boats hold their value better
than Beneteaus already, buying a OD that has fleet recognition increases the
value significantly. Keep in mind that Beneteau continues to be plagued by
build problems and QC complaints. Late models continue to develope serious
problems with heavy resistance from Beneteau to correct them. I know this first
hand.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ya gotta love it!
