I hope someone here can help me. I have bought an early version of this yacht. The builders certificate says 1.7m draft. The pre purchase survey shows 1.55m and the owner thought it was 1.9m.

Without lifting out to remeasure does anyone know
1 Did Beneteau actually build any with 1.7m draft? (5' 7")

2 Is there any way to get a definite answer on my boats draft? (I don't want to go swimming either as it's really cold!)

Thanks

Jem

Ps I have a PDF of the owners manual for a later version with sail drive if anyone needs it. If anyone has the release version I'd appreciate a copy.

The boat was apparently available with both a 1.55m shallow draft and 1.9m "standard" draft. See this link:

Did not see any mention of a 1.7m draft.

You could contact Beneteau USA with your hull number to get a definite answer.

Thanks, that's the only choices I have seen so the builders certificate was a surprise. I'll email inte...@beneteau.fr and see if I get a response.

If it is a US build boat call Beneteau US ask for Todd or Ward give them the hull number and serial number that is on your hull they are usually on the starboard side very close to the stern of the boat.
Benetaue usually can tell you about your boat if they are given this number.

Thanks but it's a French build. I've emailed Beneteau but no answer. If anyone has a better contact at Beneteau France I'd appreciate the address.

Maybe the folks at Beneteau USA can act on your behalf or provide a contact.

Jef, let me have your boat number (the Bey.... string).
As it is a unique reference to the boat I could ask a Ben dealer here in Italy to enquire through their connections the exact production data.

Please note that the HIN (hull identification number) contains the month/year/production number of the vessel.

Just an update and thanks to MagicaTi I've had it confirmed the boat is 1.9m draft.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Jem
