Do it! We are planing the same thing.

I love your review on the Aventura MY50. It's helping my decision on what I want for my family. Have you seen Aventura's remake of the MY50 into the awesome MY54 ❤. That change and it's pricing drew me from the Fontaine Peugeot Power 67. We're focused on a 6 staterooms yacht, extended range tanks with twin 550's, Off grid setup for long distance cruising. (PS: Wine 🍷 lover as well, will look into the "Aventura" wine you chose. Stay blessed, MSH to you [Make Sylvia Happy😂]

Great video , I have been sailing for almost 50 years and am an instructor . Contact me for an honest opinion on some boats . Hard nowadays to avoid the hype and the pitfalls.

Hi Miss your videos. I hope everything is ok. Cheers from Canary Islands 👍

Hi, another direct comparator is the Nautitech Open 40, which is more expensive (and looks it) with a bit less interior space than the Excess 11, with same sporty aspirations. Chartered the Nautitech 40 in Croatia and it has a great sailing feel, as well as lots of space out the back in the cockpit area - Our favourite place in warm weather. More classic, sporty look (personal taste) We then saw an Excess 11 and Nautitech 40 Open next to each other at Southampton (UK) Boat Show 2024. The Excess was obviously built to a lower price point (flimsy directors chair backrests in cockpit, less sturdy interior finishes) and the halyards in the front, outside are awkward. Steps to coachroof small and could use better grab rails and more non-slip finish on coachroof. Pluses: Main 2mx2m bed, interior space. Didn’t sail her, so cannot comment on that.

Balsa-core below the water line is fine as long as you intend to sell it within 5 years. Then itsomeone else's problem.

Has he left Sylvia yet?

Your dream circumnavigation map includes Mackay, Australia which is an utter sh*thole. Just say no & gonto Airlie Beach instead, if you must.

I like the voyage, room for bags of garbage until reaching port.

I am enjoying your videos and comparisons. I am not a sailor. So am most intimidated by mast heights more than tonnage or length. Is that reasonable for a non sailor? I am a Navy veteran, ships.

If you can afford it, easy choice, H&R 57.

Seems like one could warm this boat up with just a little bit of added work and minimal weight. Cork floors, better upholstery, a lightweight headliner on the interior, a nice snap in carpet or other flooring. Done.

Like that you spent more time on the boat and less on the specification comparisons on this review. This looks like an amazing family sized world cruiser

I remember when new boats were pretty, graceful and stirred the heart.

Wherer'd you go? Hope everything is all right with both of you.

Nice job! Where would yiu out the dingy in that dragonfly?

The killer advantage of the Aventura is a beam under 20 feet. In Europe this widens the marinas and haulout possibilities dramatically! The practical benefits are huge.

Something things of note that seemed to be missed, though understandable as you need to dig for them on the site or watch tours of their boats. After the boat is made, the team goes and does a full run down for a month, which includes marking all the nuts and bolts (so you can see how far you need to tighten/if they're getting lose, where to put them if you have to remove them, etc). Also, when you buy, a captain will stay with you for two weeks to train you on ever facet on the boat, which is great for beginners and experienced hands so nothing gets missed. I also heard they're setting up a base of operations in the carribian, basically a mini-resort/garage. So you can take your boat down for tune up/repairs and enjoy the area in some style while the work gets done, but I don't know if they came to be yet or not. This is just stuff I've seen from other sources.

Enjoyed the presentation, however your Bali Catsmart sail plan numbers and related calculations are inaccurate. The SA/D of the Catsmart is in the 17.5 range.

Unbelievable that you even compare this beautiful monohull to those boxes that are catamarans. They are like cheap caravans with sails...

I accidentally stumbled upon this review of interesting comparisons You could buy a Dragonfly for yourself because it's fast and fun but your wife won't be happy on it because it's a camper on the water where there's a lot of limited space to upgrade say a water desalinizer extra water tanks extra batteries for electricity etc etc if would go on longer cruises with it BUT that's why Neel is every woman's dream, a huge space for all the nonsense they'll never need, the engine room on those trimarans is incredible, everything is accessible and separate to the living space with several doors, top quality boats for comfortable cruising You mentioned Windelo, the biggest advantage of those catamarans is the position of the wheelhouse in the middle of the boat, protected from all elements, I call it a cheap Gunboat

Great video, the J65 is a dream boat of mine also.. Still, I'm surprised you didn't include an Oyster 575 - 675 amongst your pre-owned comparisons.

This is so incredibly awesome and innovative. My only hesitation (aside from the spare millions of dollars (I'll get there one day)) is the detachment from the act of sailing. I really wish more manufacturers would provide a clip of the vessels' handling characteristics in various wind conditions. I realize it's just sail porn at that point but I still think it would be better able to convince someone one way or the other.

It's addicting because as soon as I get off the boat I get sea sick, so I must never leave the boat and supply myself from other vessels.

AND 6 …you must have very deep pockets. Deep enought pockets to buy a lates and greatest 6 million dollar toy. Those kinds of pockets generally want acreage with opulence not smaller and greener, fuel costs is irrelevant.

If this sail rig actually works it would have a great advantage in that since the masts get shorter when you reef you can fit under fixed bridges that other sailboats can't. You could have good sailing performance at sea being 100 feet tall, and then slip into small anchorages or canals behind low bridges at 15 or 20 feet tall. You could do the intracoastal waterways and the great loop and still be a sailboat on the lakes. That would be great, if it actually works. It seems like it would take about 3 days to charge the batteries to motor 100 miles. That could be an issue.

I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE FOLD-UP SWIM PLATFORM BECAUSE IN A FOLLOWING SEA I COULD SAVE YOU HAVING YOUR BOAT FILLED WITH WATER 💦 DAVID ADAM GRENIS CURRENTLY IN HOUSTON TEXAS

Hello, for your travel project look Amel 60 or Garcia exploration 60. good luck to found your dream

Lets look at there under bodies . There is one thing that the passport stands out over almost all other new boats on the market.

What about the Hallberg-Rassys oat 48 and 50ft?

Have you looked at Chris White Designs Mastfoil catamarans and Safira, a twin sail/rotating wing mast hybrid? One of his Mastfoil Atlantic 49s was sold this past year out of Victoria BC and Safira is currently for sale in Tahiti. Those boats have 10's of thousands of circumnavigation and are well proven. If you like Gunboat, you'll appreciate a Chris White and you'll find out where Gunboat came from. He's pretty generous with information if you give him a call.

My dave score on this is a 90

I like the hightech aspect of everything.....how well does it go after a lightening strike 1000 miles from land?

We have been living on our Catamaran (not an Antares) for 3 years. The Antares has such better quality and workmanship than those production Cats. Not even comparable. Watch SV Utopia or Travelsketch if you want a production Cat.

I think the Neel has one problem: too many sharp edges to bump your head on, in particular when you are about 6ft tall.. What is happening with your sound?

Is the DC E lightning protector $55,000 or $5500?

I liked your video again. I’ve made remarks before about hundred percent for triangle needed for apples to apples comparison. In this one use Genoa area versus the Chip area for the Xquisite. I’m not sure why you didn’t use their Genoa so it would be an even comparison between everybody if you did, I think it would blow even the wave away on performance. I’ve asked Thomas about getting polar diagrams and things and he says he doesn’t have them though he does have them for his 60 footer.

Fascinating design. Does anyone have any experience at sea with these collapsible foils, though? Also, if you have the resources to be in this market, shouldn't you be considering renting instead of owning? Hire a boat with captain and crew and let somebody else worry about broken gear and dealing with harbormasters.

Would be great if you could make this sheet accessible online (as Google Sheets) and keep it frequently updated with new models for comparison. You can add your affiliate links there, so it may actually make you some money. Some saw other people doing similar thing with e.g. computer motherboards or computer PSUs, listing all models and their specs for comparison and Amazon affiliate links. They eventually become the go-to reference in their respective communities. I would also add some safety indicators, e.g. BSpd Jib, SSpd Jib, and KSI Jib, considering there's been much performance vs safety talk recently. PS. I wonder how HH44/HH50 would stack against these!

How much?

very beautifull and modern

Gawd - you talk some rubbish. Obviously you are receiving some benefit for promoting the Rapido. $400k premium over the Neel 43 & you reckon it’s better? c’mon get real.

Why on earth would you not be comparing the HH50 or HH52 to this boat? Or the Kinetic 54? Or the Cure 55? To include the trimarans seems a very odd choice indeed!

Why don’t they give accurate 100% fore sail area? And should they not use half loaded not dry weight? And a lot of them do not offer polar diagrams, and if they do, they are suspect. Balance does seem to be more honest though.

simp

Great videos and informative. On the options for rallying. I have never thought of examining this way. Just a quick feedback as i heard you saying twice. From st helena to Brazil you cross the (South) Atlantic Ocean not the Pacific 😂😂 wish you the best and hopefully you can embarque on such a adventure

And THIS is Sylvia's boobs! 😛😆👍

Bad camera work,too close and too much movement. Getting sea sick watching it

Hi 18:10 Dave are sharing your spreadsheets by any chance. Would love to look at the numbers in detail
