POTW: Moments at Beneteau

Beneteau

Jan 25, 2024

Our Photo of the Week was inspired by the newsletter from Tim Finckle and our friends at RCR Yachts.

“Beneteau turns 140 years old, truly an amazing accomplishment when it comes to enterprises of any type. The shot above comes from one of their factories in the early 70’s. You don’t last that long, becoming the world’s largest recreational boatbuilder in the process, unless you do the right things right.” 

We dug into the vaults and found some other oldies from Beneteau.  Who knew they built speedboats?

By Andy Adams

Ranger Tugs have been around since 1958 and they have developed a great formula: one boat, one price. Almost everything is included, and there is literally a fan club of owners who share stories, information and who set up events and rendezvous with other Ranger Tugs owners. www.Tugnuts.com is a community hub for owners of Ranger Tugs, Cutwater Boats and Solara Boats, all made by Fluid Motion!

Tugnuts.com is quite a unique resource. The online forum has quick links to a chat, info about cruises & gatherings, a channel to ask questions of the Ranger Tugs Factory, Ranger Tugs Technical Discussions, “How to” videos and more.

Sailing into the Future at Antigua Sailing Week

By Mathew Channer

“Standby tack,” Canadian sailor Katy Campbell orders. The crew scrambles over the sheet lines and braces on the deck.

“Three, two, one, tack!”

I wait until the bow turns into the wind and the headsail snaps over, then crawl over the cabin top of Panacea X to the now windward side. The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
