Personally I've had some experiences with a certain manufacturer that will lead me to warn every catsailor to stay away from them.
Things like unresponsiveness, a sucky website, no way to get in touch by phone...that kinds of stuff can cause as much grief as failures or performance issues with the actual boat.
Or your boat is made in France and the US Dealer promotes it heavily but sorta supports it. Amazing how it' s left out of the catalog and parts list, but they sure do include it in their visuals . . .
Wouldn't be an example of that one anywhere?
