Remember that charter companies in the US must use US built boats. One of the reasons that Beneteau has a factory in the US. For many years France shipped French built boats to the Caribbean French Islands for free. No freight payment meant cheaper boats. Also Beneteau is the largest boat manufacturer in the world and also builds the Jeanneau and one other. So the American that goes to the boat show goes into the Moorings display area and is given first class treatment. Not found in the other booths. You are explained the owner/charter system, etc. It works and Beneteau sells more boats than almost all the other dealers put together. Never mind that Beneteau makes a Mooring model for almost all the sizes that are available. I own a 1985 Mooring 51/ Frers 51/ Beneteau 51/ Idylle 15.5. That was the original design. In 1985 the dollar and the pound were 1 : 1. The boat sold for 185,000 pounds or dollars. Cheap, compared to $2 = 1 pound. That gave Beneteau a strangle hold. I believe that there were 175 Moorings 51 built. The rest is history.
