This was my favourite boat at the 2023 Sydney boat show, this boat makes sailing accessible to more people and it's simple but elegant and sophisticated.... Well done people 😊
Great video James. A well constructed, locally made gaff rig. I have been a proud owner for two years and can only speak highly of the build quality and after sales service. A great little boat!
Hello from the USA. I’ve sailed my 19-foot O’Day 192 for the last 35 years. I’m really impressed with the design features of your boat. Especially the rudder and mast systems. Does this model feature full foam flotation? I think you have a winner.
Hi Gary, Thanks for your comments. We are very proud of the aspects of the design you have mentioned, as a boat that is easy to set up and use will be used and enjoyed more often! For many reasons the Cygnet 20 does not have foam or other added buoyancy, but although we have tried, we are yet to make one sink!
Beautiful boat. Can you tell me, what is that on top of the icebox lid ?? I had a bilge keeler with an outboard in the well in the cockpit and liked your old design. This new one is interesting...
Hi Phil, thanks for checking us out! The unit you have spied on top of the icebox lid is a wireless throttle controller for the electric outboard motor which is fitted to this particular boat. We did not mention it here as it is not the standard motor, but it is becoming more popular. I agree the old outboard well design did look very nice, but was too compromised in most practical ways for us to stick with it. The biggest advantage of the current design is the hugely increased motoring performance, especially while maneuvering at low speed (and it gives us room for more cold lemonade). Happy sailing!
sorry for the slow response. And YES we have a boat over there now. We exhibited at the last Annapolis Boat Show. Let us know if we can help you further. Thanks
Usually the prop on an inboard is in front of the rudder and it's 'wash' over the blade helps the rudder become effective at low speeds. This linked solution is really effective on F24 and F27 trimarans I've owned so I think most owners would appreciate it on this lovely little boat 😊
Hi Meredith, well spotted! This particular boat is fitted with the electric ePropulsion motor at the owners request instead of the standard petrol, and although i don't have exact details on range and speed capability i can say that it easily drives the boat up to hull speed, and one charge was sufficient for us to do a few good test sails around the lake with plenty of battery left over. We have used other electric motors as well and have found the eProp to be the most suitable for our purposes.
Hi Shane, yep you would have gone past us. We do still produce the Bluewater 420's, but we don't currently have one on the go in the factory. Too busy making Cygnets!

Thanks for the comment Lou. I guess if you intend to spend a lot of time on the toilet you should probably buy the Viko!😂 Seriously though on a boat this size, compromises need to made according to your design priorities. We also like some of the features of the Viko 21 and think it's a very cool boat, but overall we like ours better! Also to be fair, the direct comparison to the Cygnet 20 from Viko is the Viko 20, which is also a cool little boat, but no enclosed head. Anyhow, I hope you are enjoying whatever boat you're in!
@@bluewatercruisingyachts3283 🤣😂🤣😂 You're right it's a series of compromises, I guess sailing and food are so linked to me I just couldn't ever use a toilet that close to the burner. Great little boat though with loads of advantages over Viko.
Beautiful and Functional - I am sure that new design will be winning awards.

Thanks for your Support Tim
One of the most well designed sailboats.

Thanks mate! Great to have you 'on board'..
Thanks James, I love the Cygnet 20 and admire them on the water....and they are fast, Cheers Paul
What an excellent retro design !
Glad you like it!
Thanks for the video, James. Keep them coming...
Thanks, will do!
you can shut up about the rest.. inboard ice box .. SOLD!. every boat needs a inboard ice box.. keep me beers cold.
Getting one of these to North America would probably triple the cost/price. Australia has some great boats.
Absolutely awesome design. Bravo mate !
Looks like an amazing design. Is that a plumb bow?
Can you please advise the price range on this design?

Any availability in North America ? Really a beautiful boat with a lot of features. If she sails as good as she looks she will be legendary ! Bravo !
Thanks Dick! We are in the process of getting a boat to the USA right now, so keep your eyes open for us over there soon.
@@bluewatercruisingyachts3283 Keep us updated on this.
Nice
Ideaĺ
Get me on one watch me travel the worlds😭😭🙌
Couldn’t find any pricing on the website? (Also, you need a website redesign).
Looks very well thought out ! What length are the beds/the max height of people can the beds accommodate? Did I hear 6’6”? Thanks!
Hi Damian, thanks for checking out the Cygnet 20!
You heard right, the bunks are 6'6".
You can find more details on our website at bwcy.com.au
Cheers!
Jez, I could line 2 of me up and still wear my top hat.

Is it available in North America? I want this.

Wouldnt really want to steer the outboard with the tiller as you dont steer inboardz

I note you have an eProp. Would you like to comment on range, speed etc.

What is the width of the boat
Nice. Very well thought-out design. Are they available in the UK?
Thanks Tim! We are not currently in the UK, but we are working on it for the future!
@@bluewatercruisingyachts3283 Anything in the UK yet? Great looking boat👍
Regards,
Paul.
Germany would be very interested too...
I'm just up the road at Beresfield. Think we drove past your shop going out through Cardiff to Costco. Are you still making the 420's ???
Hi Shane, yep you would have gone past us. We do still produce the Bluewater 420's, but we don't currently have one on the go in the factory. Too busy making Cygnets!
@@bluewatercruisingyachts3283 Yeah thought it you guys, I remember a Cygnet parked out the front.

Where is your USA dealership so I can visit & learn more? @@jameschristie3505
2 people...maybe 3 at the table
Maybe 4 Maybe 5
Horrible place for a toilet. This has a lot of advantages over Viko21 but the Viko has a kinda enclosed head.
Thanks for the comment Lou. I guess if you intend to spend a lot of time on the toilet you should probably buy the Viko!😂

I have an enclosed head but it's quite the off-center squat, and a low squat at that. This design centers things up nicely. Nice touch.
