Check out this chipboard!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a piccy of a hole in my galley (stuffed if I know why Beneteau put a HOLE there! Will I sink??)

Great pic, Mark. Laminates are a far cry from chip board and the MDF stuff Ikea uses. That stuff will disintegrate at just any hints of moisture.

What Sarafina said :thumbs up

They put it there so you would see it and say to yourself "man that's good wood" to prevent you from looking elsewhere at the rest of the wood.

Just kidding!

Re: Can Jeanneau , Bavaria or Beneteau Be Good as Ocean Crossing Boats ?

Beneteau uses plywood and wood veneer just like oyster HR etc. In fact given the volumes they can use best quality stuff as it costs them a fraction that smaller boat builders pay.

I'm not knocking you're efforts , just don't claim it's easy merely because you did a class or two.

I could not agree more and used aluminium can be impossible to weld satisfactorily due to porosity not visible by eye.
From a straight welding point of view the advent of three phase power outlets being provided at most major world reefs, rocks and known hazards all free of charge is an attraction to steel boats. Fiberglass does not require any kind of machinery to apply and a simple repair kit can easily be stored aboard does not imediate action to be taken if a little chip of paint gets dislodged. Before anyone takes exception this subject was about a line of boats all built from glass of some type. Secondly I know no one who likes steel will take any notice of what anyone says regarding the deficencies of Steel or alloy but there are reasons most manufacturers use f/glass.

Re: Can Jeanneau , Bavaria or Beneteau Be Good as Ocean Crossing Boats ?

three phase power outlets - maybe so...but I will go with a generator or perhaps a stick for temporary repairs.

Steel is wonderful stuff...

Re: Can Jeanneau , Bavaria or Beneteau Be Good as Ocean Crossing Boats ?

if you are 6'4, thenye has to look for boats designed by TALL designers--mine has 6'4 headroom thruout..lol but is an older boat-- formosas were designed by a tall guy-- same with hardin and ct and force.....but they have rep following them they dont deserve..LOL.... and can be found dirt cheap. they arealso quite striking when sailing with all sails up and a bone in hteir teeth......

Pete, that price is bloody pie in the sky!! Am certain there are plenty of brokers sniffing around here, I know that from PMs ive recieved with offers of boats! My advice to anyone looking for a boat is to completely ignore the price you see, do a bit of research and then make an offer that you are comfortable with, dont worry about upsetting people!

More like a work of art that belongs on a pedestal!

I'd be afraid of scratching something.
