At BENETEAU’s manufacturing facility, builders thoroughly test all materials that go into our boats both individually and collectively to ensure the highest quality result. One example of this is the resin, which helps to maintain strength and structure on boats over time.

Special formulation vinyl ester resin is used on the decks and hulls throughout construction, and continually testing ensures that it’s suitable for the processes and materials the process utilizes it for and with. BENETEAU has tested resin for its resistance to water intrusion through osmosis.

The materials incorporated are only part of the equation. Another significant part is the process is how materials are applied and used. At BENETEAU, resin is used in the three different construction methods for building boat hulls and decks: hand lay-up, resin infusion, and injection modeling.

The Woodworking Facility

Regardless of where they’re built, all BENETEAU boats receive their wood parts from a single dedicated facility in France. This facility combines technology and handcraftsmanship to create a long-lasting interior that is both attractive and efficient to produce.

This woodworking facility is the secret to why BENETEAU can sell both powerboats and sailboats for significantly less than other builders. While interior woodwork on boats often takes a lot of time to build, BENETEAU has created the ability to replicate a variety of wood types at a lower cost. This unique and specialized wood product is resistant to warping, appears perfectly uniform, and imitates other wood types at a much lower cost.

Rowing My Own Boat

Fifty years ago, my parents bought a cottage on Gambier Island in BC’s Howe Sound. Facing the snowy Lions to the east and the undeveloped north side of Bowen Island, the tiny cabin – replete with mice, horsehair-stuffed furnishings and antique oil lamps – was accessible only by boat. My parents bought a 17’ clinker boat made by Elia Boat Works in Vancouver, and powered it with a Johnson outboard from Woodward’s Marine. They were set.

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
