On my opinion at this very moment (doesn't matter at all that in some parts of the world is a deep winter), Beneteau is one of my favorite yacht builders of the moment. I hope I'm not upsetting you by saying same things again. First time I said them (and I'm not linking with that), I was on Blogger. The … [Read more...]
