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?

Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
