Great Fun in aid of the RNLI
Organised and funded by Fox’s Yacht Sales, the event is free to Beneteau owners, we ask only that a donation is made to the R.N.L.I. Based off the Suffolk coast on the weekend of 13th & 14th June 2009, the Beneteau Owners Weekend comprised of a rally/race for sailboats and a water bourne Treasure Hunt for motorboats on the Saturday, an overnight stop at Fox’s Marina for a prize giving party in one of the big workshops with food, bar and a band, then a pursuit race for the sailboats on the Sunday morning. This year 43 Beneteau’s appeared for the 11.30 start off Harwich Breakwater on Saturday morning, sailing in two classes, white sail and three sail and a treasure hunt for the power boats. The weather stayed fine all weekend and we managed to raise £2,300 for the RNLI so many thanks to everyone who supported our event this year.

A New Award for BENETEAU

It was during the official European Yacht of the Year gala evening in Düsseldorf, on Saturday 17 January 2009, that the news was announced.
The Océanis 31 was elected European Yacht of the Year in the Family Cruiser class, by a jury of journalists from 10 specialized European magazines. This year, the various yachts nominated did not compete in size classes as in previous years, but according to their sailing programme.  The following yachts were in the Family Cruiser class: Bavaria 43, Sun Odyssey 30, Southerly 32, Delphia 26 and Océanis 31.

Following the election of the Océanis 37 as Yacht of the Year 2008, this new award confirms BENETEAU’s capacity to develop yachts that continue to be innovative, comfortable and high-performing. It is also the second yacht to be designed by the FINOT-CONQ Group and associates of the Italian Nauta Design office to receive such an award.

Come and see Fox’s Yacht Sales on the Beneteau stand at the London Boat Show from Friday 9th January to Sunday 18th January 2009.
