Brand New Beneteau 31's Arrive in Long Beach

The 2 brand new Beneteau 31's finally arrived at Harborlight Yacht Club in Long Beach on the 3rd of July - just in time for the holiday weekend! Ever since the arrival of the new Beneteau and Hunter models in San Diego last fall, members utilizing the Long Beach location wondered when some new boats would be placed into the HLYC fleet. Now the wait is finally over! The 31 is a brand new model from Beneteau, and while it is the lead-in to the Beneteau series, it maintains the same dedication as its larger siblings have to creating a performance cruiser par excellence - beautiful to look at, comfortable to live aboard and very seaworthy - making it the perfect vessel for multiple day trips to Catalina!

Guests enjoyed lunch and cold drinks on board our brand new 2008 Hunter 31's and Hunter 33's. 4 teams/boats total with captains Tony Igar, Cliff Thompson, Steve Resser, and Paul Thomas set out for an exciting sailboat race out on San Diego Bay.
