I was thinking of a Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 393 (150k eur in Croatia
with elec. pack and bimini), or Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 39i (new model)
- 120k eur.

Since they are both made by Groupe Beneteau, who own Jeanneau, perhaps you
should ask them.


Thnx, I didn't know that. Beneteau dealer says that "beneteau is brand name,
and jeanneau isn't", Jeanneau dealer says opposite.




The older Jeanneau's used plywood interiors tabbed to the hulls when
Bendytoes were well into bulkheads that snapped/glued into the liners.
I'd pick an older Jeanneau over an older Beneteau but I suspect
modern versions are much more similar to each other

One year ago I purchased an Oceanis 461. I have sailed it from Seattle
up to Glacier Bay, Alaska and now down to Mexico. I have been very
pleased with the handling of the boat and general comforts of it. Had
I to do it again, I would purchase this boat, but I would add some
items like a spinaker and other nice to have toys.

The $30,000 is a lot, but it is not much if the boats are loaded
differently. Are the engines the same size, what electronics come with
them, sails, ect. You just want to make sure your are comparing boats
which are equipped similarily.

You might also think about purchasing a boat in the USA. With the
currency difference, you would get about 30% more for your money.
