Hi aus005,
sorry, no experience with the 345, but if you get a moment check out the new Oceanis just for some boat porn 
I think Bendytoy have done an amazing facelift. I hope they've nailed a great cruiser. Look beautiful to me, but the new design house being the same as my boat I might be biased!
Except the 35.1 that is, don't look at that. It needs a good foot or two less freeboard, looks a bit ungainly.
Cheap enough...ish! .

MMmmm....have a look at the 30.1. Nice cabin layout for a sub 10mtr boat. .
I know, I'm evil!

Looks roomy enough to be used as a porn set 
But what is it with the photos that don't line up ???
From the out side it shows a single window on cabin top and inside shows 2 window's?
HI Craig,
That's a trick they do, it is one sheet of perspex, with the centre pillar recessed to go behind the nice shiny face.
My windows are the same, you can see a dimmish outline of the centre pillar (sorry not the best picture)

Thanks Shaggy
I thought that may be the case to have smooth lines from the outside
Sweet pic, twin rudders must make life at the helm easier
Yes, but twin rudders mean it's a lot harder to dock the boat because you can't use the prop wash against the rudder to pin the boat on the dock while you secure the lines.

How come only Pascal's name is listed, have he and Jean Marie parted ways?

Oh that is so true. Thank god for prop walk, which is still pretty naff.

Thats a good pickup Loose, I missed that. To the best of my knowledge they're still Finot-Conq.
Hmm...I notice the 46.1 lists Pascal Conq only as the architect, the rest of the range is all Finot-Conq.
TYpo I hope.
