For anybody that has wondered exactly what "CE" certification entails or would like some info on it - Beneteau has sponsored a video and article produced by "Boat Test.com" which can be viewed online in their latest edition. Sorry I don't know how to upload the link here. I found it quite informative.
Regards, Rob

I wonder how our C Dorys would rate in the context of that article?

It looks like the TC255 and the 25-26 might be in this range, but that might be a little on the optimistic side, (40Kn winds are pretty stout.)
| Quote: | | Category B — Offshore. Category B includes boats operating offshore with winds up to 40 knots, Beaufort Force 8, and significant seas up to 13 feet. |
The 22-23 would probably fit into this one:
| Quote: | Category C — Inshore. Category C is for boats operating in coastal waters and large bays and lakes with winds to Force 6, up to 27 knots, and significant seas 7 feet high.
|
I have been in this stage (7-10ft) and though it is less than fun, it does qualify as a boat ride. With waves above 5-6 feet, you can't see over the tops when you are in the trough. I can't say I recommend going out into this kind of weather, but being caught in it, I didn't feel unsafe, just challenged. Slow and steady wins the course in those kind of conditions. NOT a good time for any machinery failures. Knowing what I do now, I would have turned around and bolted for protection, but still know I could do it if I had to.

Some of the C Dorys were CE certified as well as NMEA certified. I don't know which category, but would guess "C". The certification was done so the boats could be imported into the EU. It apparently was dropped because of the costs, and the very small number of C Dorys exported. I think one of those "dreams" held back several owners of the company ago...
