The underlying announcement was published by BENETEAU on 21 January 2026, giving this development a clear primary-source date and provenance. LBG is recording the change separately from the manufacturer’s marketing material so the news record remains concise and traceable.
Manufacturer announcements are useful beyond the immediate headline because they help establish how a builder is positioning its current boats. LBG keeps that context separate from marketing claims by retaining the primary source with the report.
For comparison purposes, the most important element is the dated change described by BENETEAU. Specifications, availability and product configuration can evolve, so the official source remains the reference point for details beyond the scope of this news brief.
LBG’s role is to preserve a concise, independent record of the development while pointing back to the organisation that made the announcement. Further updates will be reported separately when new primary-source information becomes available.
