BOAT REVIEW: THE NEW BENETEAU
343
When it came to replacing the 331, Beneteau chose to
de-emphasize style and comfort and instead put its energies into
performance. This boat has a plain Jane look, but it will surprise a lot
of people underway.
STEERING COMPASS TEST
We put 16
compasses to the test and learned that several manufacturers have winners
and losers. We ultimately liked the Plastimo Offshore 135 (it's under
$200) among the larger compasses. For a good, smaller compass, check out
models from Ritchie and Danforth.
FURLING
FAIRLEADS
Almost every boat has the need for furling fairlead
equipment. PS examined over 20 products to offer an analysis of what's
best for your boat. Holt Allen makes good inexpensive items, and Schaefer
and Garhauer make bulletproof products for the world girdling cruiser.

MARINE
SURVEYORS
Everyone who purchases or sells a boat has to consider
whether or not to engage the services of a surveyor. So what do you need
to know about this amorphous profession? And how can you be sure that the
surveyor you hire is working for you?
FIXED MOUNT VHF RADIOS
UNDER $200
PS evaluated six popular marine VHF radios to determine
which ones have the best signal performance and acoustic qualities. In
this bargain category, we like Icom's 302.

issue...
