The Beneteau Group definitely leaned into the 'high volume' model over the last 20 years. Those boats were optimized for the price point, but craftsmanship definitely took a back seat for a while. It seems like the tide is finally turning and the quality is improving again.An interesting list, which confirms my view that the build standards of BenJenBav went downhill in the early 2000s. The last group is headed by the boat I owned, the Jeanneau 45.2. Its successor, the 45 does not even appear. The reason seems clear to me. The 45.2 and earlier 45.1 were designed to be strong, ocean capable boats, with a masthead rig, thick hull layup, (mine measured 16mm where I replaced hull fittings) and a hull shape that pre-dated the trend towards over wide flat stern sections. True, it had a bolted on keel and a spade rudder, but the former had a double row of very substantial bolts, and the latter a big diameter stainless shaft. A couple I knew crossed the Atlantic in one and were happy with it, but much less pleased when they delivered a mid 2000s Jeanneau.
