Rangi1 51 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Just to be consistent, shall we start some biased ramblings against custom built aluminium yachts and their poor quality now like we did with the Beneteau? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 400 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Yep well, fair enough if you can find some with issues... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Just to be consistent, shall we start some biased ramblings against custom built aluminium yachts and their poor quality now like we did with the Beneteau? We could, but unlike in the Beneteau incident (Checki Raffiki), nobody died in this incident. The keel didn't fall off either. In fact, it sounds like the structural integrity of the boat didn't fail at all. So a bit difficult to get all upset about it really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 360 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 But maybe if you built 6000 one-off yachts per year and branded them all with the same name then you could have the odd failure as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
