Beneteau Swift Trawler 42 Boat Review
The Swift 42 has a timeless beauty that boaties seem to appreciate more the older they get. It has that gentlemen's club feel about it, kinda warm and inviting. Entering the open-plan saloon you find it functional and flooded with natural light. It was designed to maximise space.
Beneteau Oceanis 311 Review
If you want to draw a few conclusions about the complexity (or lack of it) of modern-day yacht design, have a look at the Oceanis 311 and its cousins. The Oceanis 311 has the same hull as the Beneteau 31.7, a handy and roomy cruiser/racer.
Beneteau Flyer 12 Review
The Beneteau Flyer 12m is a strong vessel with the ride and handling to take heavy going in her stride. You can throw this 40-footer around like a ski boat with confidence and from our experiences, you'd be unlucky to get a drop of water on the screen. Her standard of fit-out and finish is fantastic.
Beneteau First 36.7 Review
The 36.7 is an amalgam of interesting ideas, a cruiser/racer, which the family should be comfortable aboard, but for which the owner can dial up a specific amount of performance by spending on sails and gear.
Beneteau First 31.7 and Beneteau 40.7 Review
You could take delivery of your new 31.7 on Saturday morning, race competitively after lunch, then cruise happily with the family on Sunday.
Beneteau First 27.7 Review
This yacht flies downwind under its asymmetric spinnakers and it is light and responsive to sail. It certainly has the performance to keep those sailors interested, and it has basic creature comforts to entertain the family on a picnic cruise or for a weekend.
