For years we dreamed about how to replace our middle sized yachts, but the manufacturers kept building yachts with small heads, short beds and not enough ventilation for a hot climate. Finally Beneteau catered to our requests and built the 323s to our specification, providing a beautiful "next step from the Jaguars" in years to come. We feel that the new Beneteau 323s are perfect for couples and younger families who like their comfort.

We will be running 323s on all of our flotilla routes for 2008. We're excited to be finally replacing our five different "middle sized" yacht types with a single type (thanks to the Bank of Scotland). The Beneteau 323s will fit in nicely with our 331s and 361s which are "three cabin" boats and give us a perfect "couples yacht" for years to come.

None of the other manufacturers have cottoned on to the "big heads" and "big beds" philosophy yet, so Beneteau have our business again!
