That's a great looking power boat, I've only ever seen the world class sail boats they sell here in the states.

Cheers, Don

I have sailed many Beneteau Sailboats from 38 to 52. Interior styled by Pininfarina. The italian designer that does exotic cars. Very well built and high quality components at the time (90s). Very nice and fast hulls.

Looks sick. Very nice Xmas gift. Keep us updated if you do a sea test

Pinnafarina is BIG time class. If they put their name on anything it is awesome. Period.

This is a beneteau in a 60 knot gale in San Fran Bay. Got it knocked over a few times that day. always wierd to see half the cockpit underwater in a 38 foot boat...

That shot with you at the helm is amazing. I have only been in front of the rudder of a ply wood cat I named Caribou my dad and I built when I was 8 years old. My dad was a very accomplished sailor though.

Cheers, Don
