In MBY December 2017 we get a great opportunity to test the Bénéteau Swift Trawler 35 to the max by spending 48 hours on board cruising around the Ile de Ré.
Meeting the boat at La Rochelle, we stay on board for two nights giving us the chance to sleep in the cabins, use the bathroom, cook in the galley and see how the boat performs during an extended test. You can watch the video of the trip now.
