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?
