Overview
The Beneteau name is 140 years old this year. So whenever I get an opportunity to jump on these boats I feel that these guys have a very deep understanding on how the people of today like to live and enjoy themselves on the water. It seems that their designs often cater to so many of us at all different stages along your boat life and it looks to me as if that attention to design has been a big part of what's kept them in business for longer than Australia has been a country.
The GT41 in my opinion is a visible improvement to her replacement the GT40 in multiple ways. The operational side and liveability of this boat seem to be improving with time and I can see some of you using a boat like this as your 'work from home' option as many people progress into a digital life.
For the time poor person who always strives to get the most out of your day then this is a boat that will help you achieve that. She's not a long distance cruiser or an ocean weapon. She's a stylish, fast all rounder that will cater exceptionally well to day boating and long weekends on the water with the occasional week long holiday.
If that sounds like you then this video will be worth your while watching.
