    When you make statement like "...straight into good figures here..." but then fail to provide said figures, you have not told the whole story, still love the vids though, just wanted to point that out. If it was me, any time sailing I would be running a Navionics type app op my phone and then doing a data overlay for the videos with speed and any other data (if you are able to sync with the boat gear to get extra info) It would provide more of a "testing" feel to the videos and provide hard data. That said, I am a data person and also as a main trimmer, 40% of the time I am looking at instruments, so when I watch boats videos I love seeing the numbers, as it really helps me relate to what that boat is capable of doing. Just my 2cents
  • I think this is the best format, to sail the boat and not just show it in the port or showroom !
  • I always wanted to see hiw this biat sail, thank you Toby for bringing us thus video. Always enjoy your reviews.
  • The two most obvious names for this boat would be either "Man Overboard" or "Broken Ribs". I didn't see a single grab rail inside or out.. dangerous boat.

    Use to worry about the bow man but now looks like the whole crew will be washed over the stern. Large open spaces, mass x acceleration results in serious injury if you are tossed around any part of this type of craft. Maybe they are only meant for the Med on a fine day not the North Sea.
  • Really don’t understand why these type of „flat-deck“ yachts can even be considered safe and comfortable in any water/weather conditions other than flat and warm weather. Moving around in that vast space below deck in rough weather would be simply madness. Or am I just an idiot who has no idea 🤪
  • she is absolutely magnificent!!! The bad is that on these lengths the price goes sky rocket!!!
  • the chart table is ridiculous for a boat of this size and price range. can someone explain to me how to eat at that saloon table at sea? i wish you would also point out the obvious disantvantages of a design during your walk throughs. especially if a boat is designed for fast cruising but the design offers a lack of handrails, for example

    Nice to see a single rudder boat, is it skeg hung too?
  • When I watch videos of such boats it always comes the question "if you have the money why not buy a Gunboat?"
  • @MrChanakkale
    Non c'è niente da fare.....siamo abituati a convivere con i capolavori da queste parti.
  • @joealphons5772
    Just curious, why do you need crew on these boats? If you are the owner who is into sailing and have friends who are into sailing don't you and them want to be involved in handling the boat? I can't quite imagine myself buying something like this and then just sitting there doing what exactly? Any thoughts?
  • What is this Beautiful Yacht intended for? What type of conditions is She planned for?
