Its not that they are built better they are just being up-kept` better we here in the usa take for granted things and don’t upkeep as much and the euro is up very well so they can afford to buy parts from the u.s. and still save save save ….they buy parts and wood furnishings at less than half due to the euro older boats are able to have overhauls done less expensive when they sail them to the usa as they are spending 1/3 to 1/2 the amount we would.i only say this as there are a few maybe 10 or so that we see every year so we talk like boaters do!!!!!! remember a friendly boater is the best boater. not really the best boater but you know what i mean have fun and take care

Not sure where you are getting info. I have seen some pretty run down European ships.
