A historic brand and founder of the group, Beneteau has always been a pioneer in the yachting landscape. Within world-leading ranges, some of them iconic, more than 35 models offer practices that are as diverse as they are efficient. With a single idea in mind: innovate in boats as well as processes, to place the dream and the avant-garde within reach of as many people as possible. In 2023, for the 23rd consecutive year, BENETEAU has chosen to be close to the runners and to sponsor the classification of the first participation. The BENETEAU Bizuths Ranking has been renamed since 2020 BENETEAU Bizuths Ranking – Eric INGOUF Trophy, in memory of the man who worked with passion for 40 years to bring his expertise and talent to the creation of the shipyard's boats such as the illustrious FIRST and especially the different FIGARO. The rookie winner of each stage and the first five in the general classification will be rewarded with a financial prize.
