    Looks real easy to single hand, looks like a perfect boat for someone who wants to explore the world.
  • @MrEolicus
    It looks like a giant frying pan, but what a frying pan! It also looks to be absolutely solid. And the interior is quite nice, cosy and traditional. I've been looking into these yachts for quite a while and it pleases me to have Toby Hodges' take on it, albeit a curtailed take, as it happened, due to lack of conditions. Can't wait to see further reviews on these fascinating boats. Cheers.

    What a fantastic yacht. I agree; seeing all the boat reviews in rough weather would have been interesting. Cheers.

    €800K for the the base spec, i.e. before she's fully fitted out with water maker / safety equipment / etc. Crazy money. Tiny galley, no technical room, and really not much interior volume at all. A couple of years ago you reviewed the Alubat OVNI 370 with a price tag of €280K+ taxes which so much ore interior volume. That would get my vote every time.

    Really like this one, imagine the 41 foot would be perfect. Thanks Toby.
  • @leonply
    Another great video! Thanks for sharing this boat with the world.

    Nice classic start into the New Year with your nice presentation....on a historic day when the Six Ultime trimarans left Brest for the first round the globe single handed incredible historic race!
  • @carryonsailing

  • @colbr6733
    Great to see the recent reviews of yachts made from different materials such as aluminium, wood and plywood.
  • Look forward to every single video Toby. Really wish you would start uploading in 4k in the future. The video quality of these videos is too good not to be shown in all its glory. Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work!

    4:47 - looks like the thru hull for the raw water intake is attached to a pipe that extends (i'm guessing) above the waterline. Very cool.
  • @zeilgenot
    Toby, no apologies needed. Just come back with a second review with the designer on board 😊 Best Harry
  • Very nice sailing boat! I like the open plan layout. I guess the generator is to power the electric drive.
  • @markbennett9787
    Seems strange to have a hanging locker for wet weather gear that isn’t a wet locker. Is the idea to hang the clothing to dry somewhere else then transfer it to the « dry » locker - people will have to be very disciplined ! Having said that what a great boat, love it !

    When your ready. I was raised in the Arctic, I would love to reach my North from your north.
