Beneteau just lost a class action suit against the guy in my yard. They will
take the 39 back and refund him the full cost of the boat, including the
repairs! Amazing! He sent an account of the story to Cruising World and BoatUS,
so maybe it'll get printed!
The entire suit was based on gel coat cracking and blistering in the 2nd
year!!!

Beneteau?

Bwahahahahahahaha!

Bob, you should keep from crowing too loudly until you have a better boat
than me.

This insane jealousy cannot be good for you! If you didn't compare your
boat to mine, you might be satisfied with Alien (despite her obvious
imperfections).

I hope it's important.

How does replacing one boat qualify as a "class action suit"? I'm also
wondering whether there was a judgement by the courts, or a
settlement.

From what I've been told at the yard, blister problems have been huge for
Beneteau. So much so that a recent ad mentions them directly for glass related
issue. Beneteau is facing quite a bit of legal fire. I have no idea of how many
boats were involved.
True, Subaru has the occasional lemon, but Beneteau has been plagued for years.
8 years ago I was warned away from Beneteau by yards and surveyors. 8 years
later the problems persist.
Any blisters or gel problems on your C&C? Mine is even older and the glass
looks good. My Pearson was from 1976 and that glass looked good. Beneteau needs
to built better boats and not worry about huge ad campaigns.

You woke me up for THAT?? In case you suffer from some short, medium amd
long term memory problems - I'd like to point out that you have made the
same statement at least once a week for the last three years.

Geeze..... I'm going back to sleep again! Don't wake me up again until
you have something interesting to say!

My understanding of a class action suit is that it is a suit lodged by a =
number of people with a common problem with one entity. How can one man =
lodge a class action suit?
