    Normally news like this would catch the American boating world with some more headlines but beneteau has decided to apparently end four wins as we know it and dedicate it as a catamaran brand. This was separate from the recent press release announcing the closure or desire to “seek strategic partners” for several other brands. FW has been big in the boating world but the trends away from stern drive I think have reduced the market to something undesirable. https://www.tradeonlytoday.com/manufacturers/groupe-beneteau-outlines-new-strategy

    Guess their investment in Glastron, Four Winns, Scarab and group hasn't worked out quite as well as they hoped.
