For owners
The 393 came out of two yards, Beneteau's in France and its plant in Marion, South Carolina, in two interior layouts, so the first question is always which boat you have. The community is where owners compare notes across all of them: fixes, parts and part numbers, who to use for sails and engines, and what to look for when buying.
Membership is for owners and is approved by the admins. The group is private.
Request to join the owners' groupHull register
A members-only register of 393 hulls: build yard, year, layout and where she sails. It is held privately for members and is never published. It exists so owners can find boats like theirs, and so the community can tell suppliers, as a total only, how many of us there are.
To add your boat, or to ask about the register, email membership@boc393.org with your hull number, build year, layout and home port.
For suppliers
We approach chandlers and sailmakers for owner-group rates for our members: a members' code for chandlery, and a rate off list at quote time for sails. These are member benefits only; the community takes no commission and sells nothing.
If you have had an enquiry from us, or would like to offer our owners a rate, write to membership@boc393.org.
