The first time I saw a Beneteau trawler yacht was at the Düsseldorf show. The boat was up on its stand with no concealing skirt or cladding, and to say I was bemused as I crouched down to look at its underwater shape would be an understatement. It looked like the bottom of a box, with flat sections and a vestigial skeg, and a couple of spindly-looking propeller shafts sticking out. Trawler? Not in my book.
That was 2003. Obviously, I am the last person any boatbuilder ought to
