A nice uncluttered deck to work on. All the Goiot Deck Hatches have been re-bedded and perspex replaced. The cabin side windows are new smoked 12mm perspex.
I purchased 'Michaila' in September 1998 in Skiathos/Volos/Greece. She has been lovingly looked after while in my ownership, which is to date just over eleven years. During this period I've virtually refitted her from stem to stern. She is in truly excellent condition throughout and ready to sail......

Jean Berret
Meet the designers of the New Generation of Beneteau Yachts
Initially starting out in 1978 after graduation from design school Jean Berret began his career of creating memorable boats such as the Beneteau First 35. In 1983, Jean was joined by Olivier Racoupeau, a sharp specialist in dynamic/physical technologies, and they immediately joined the ranks of notably successful racing and cruising yacht designers. They soon evolved into Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design, which now has a vast number of boats drawn, and today can boast that more than 10,000 hulls of their creation have been launched.
