Quality work - not

I spotted this yesterday. Brand new Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 54, by the time its fully kitted it will be costing around £800k or more. Look at the finish quality. Clearly the guy with the hole cutter missed and scuffed the body and the sealant looks like it was put on with a tooth brush.

French build quality.

Still, they are good at making nice food.

Bit like the old saying - 'Spoiling the ship for a ha'peth of silicone'.

That teak looks good though.

You've convinced me not to buy one. Not having £800k to spare has nothing to do with it.

Is £800k not down towards the bargain end for these things, I mean what do they expect

The "yacht" model is supposed be their premium brand. Think Lexus vs Toyota

If it's real teak and not synthetic, It will look like that for about a month.
