BENETEAU
BENETEAU HISTORY
For more than a century, the Beneteau family has been building boats. In the
beginning, commercial
fishing-boats as robust as¥ths fisherman- who sai-tcd ow .-.
them. Boats that ventured out to sea no matter what the weather because their
owners relied on
them for their livelihood. Boats built to last; like today's
Beneteau's.
At Beneteau the sea is at the roots of our family tree. This is a story of love,
commitment and
long standing tradition. From my grandfather to his
descendants who operate the company today,
we have always been innovative.
Yet despite this constant quest for innovation, we have always built boats that are
strong. Times have changed and composites have replaced oak, sailing has
become a sport,
but the sea has remained unchanged and the sea will always
demand the best.
d
I have always remained true to my family'sphilosophy of building strength
into our products.
I want to keep the edge that my ancestors gained on the rest of
our industry. By giving free rein to innovative talents, in constantly improving
building techniques, in testing every idea in the most severe conditions, our boats
will continue to evolve and to improve.
When you are a leader you must show the way.
As the world leader in sailboat
building, Beneteau today leads the way to pleasure boating of the future.

working and storm anchors most appropriate for your boat and location.
In genera! a minimum of two anchors shouldbe carried at all times and
enough anchor rode and chainnecessary for the depth of water to be
navigated during storm conditions.
Certain anchors are useful for a variety ofbottom conditions. Study
the
charts of the area to be navigated for infomation concerning bottom
conditions and water depth.
The greatest hazard with a sound permanent mooring is the chafewhich can
occurto the rode at the bow chocks. This
is the single most common site of
failure. Care
is advised in the selection and protection of the rode pennant
with appropriate chafing gear. Continual inspection of moored boats on a
regular basis
is necessary to insure the boat's safety.

LEHRMANGROUF PAGE 08/10
