Yachting Monthly's Dehler 38 test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лип 2013
- Yachting Monthly visited Marseille to sail the new Dehler 38 with Karl Dehler, project manager of this, the first Dehler to be built in Hanse's Greifswald plant. And she's a corker!

I've been watching yacht reviews. A lot of them, to be honest. This reviewer is the best. It feels a little odd thanking him here for them all. Anyway, thank you.
I love how he points out design flaws I wouldn't think about until its too late and $20,000+ later fixing them!
Water pump under the bed was very meta
This guy is the very best. No BS.
I love your honest, frank reviews with a dollop of sarcasm thrown in for good measure.
Really gotta hand it to the Yachting Monthly guy and his camera dude, they do the internal and external tour work very well. I watch a LOT of these sorts of videos and these guys are, by far, the best.
Except for one thing... they don't like showing the cabins, only what the cabins would look like if you had some guy talking to you while you were in bed... which is quite strange.
oceandrew maybe wifey did camera and reefed the mini-skirt
oceandrew . . . Suspicious seamen in the cabin !
Grunter
No Grunter... if wifey was behind the camera you can be sure she'd show the sleeping quarters not just the lockers. Stupid stupid stupid... people don't hang out in lockers in their cabins but in their berths.
Maybe YM doesn't believe coastal cruisers do much sleeping on board so the look of the berths is not as important as the fiddles and toe rails.
But seriously , I agree with your point . Shame really as rest of reviews seem very unbiased and comprehensive . Suspicion I say .
I love this guy! his reviews are the best.
I have sailed this boat from new, having done seven seasons and around 2000 nm per year including some offshore and inshore racing. For double handed sailing, it functions perfectly.
Looking back at this review, it is remarkable how almost every single word is spot on. The two minor comments is that the B&G does not crack your leg and that the sink is not too shallow.
It is a cracking performer. Quality wise, there are no major problems, neither in the design, the equipment or the assembly.
In beating in wavy conditions the bow is somewhat flat leading to a tendency to slamming. The jib, even the enhanced pay-extra laminate version, is a bit on the small and stiff side. For competitions, a larger, lighter and more black one is prefered.
I believe the price levels have gone up dramatically lately though.
We do some 4-5 weeks of cruising with five people, four grown ups, each summer and it just delivers.
In general, its just great fun to sail and a a great design.
Maybe we should start the Chris Beeson fan club to get him back doing reviews.
movieklump Absolutely! 👍
Your right there, especially with Toby Hodges as the dire alternative.
There's only one Chris Beeson!!!
Chris Beeson should just start his own UA-cam Channel. I'd certainly support it. Wonderful reviews. It's just amazing how he can point out a few flaws, annoyances, oversights, quirks, as well as the highlights, extras, jobs well done. He's smart enough to pick up on what the designers were keen about and to appreciate it. I'll bet if I could find his harshest review I'd still want to own and sail that boat too.
Hi; please can you say which is his channel is? Tks.
Great video YM. It's great to hear YOUR thoughts on these boats not just the sales patter...
very good review! and the boat sails beautifully
Beeson = best yachting journalist ever. A sad loss when he left the field.
I like the hull design, and the sleek weather deck setup.
Comprehensive, no drama & a quiet smirk - accept no substitutes.
I like the new forecastle design, from the waterline to below the weather deck....
I agree with Joe. Well done, well scripted and (!) not too long loke so many videos!
excellent review.
That is a good thing with the head room. The 38 classic is just an inch too small everywhere if you are 6 foot. Hit my head on the boom, in the heads, in the rear cabin. But if your short it’s a great boat, nicely refined!
I will probably not press the like button in the other 'Boat Test' channel's videos after I discover you. That's the way it should be. Thank you
So wonderful. 👌
Hermoso barco!
Good review!
Really like it. One heads perfect. No maid needed
great review
Graham Snook best reviewer on the planet. Honest Guy!
Its Chris Beeson and yes he is
Don Holt Graham Snook is doing the camcorder
A super model with a flat aft!
Like it!
My neighbour has just sold their tiny 2 bed cul de sac semi in a moribund northern town for more than that. I know which I’d prefer.
Very tidy
Very tidy review
supercool shower door
with the price when new, tardiness is an issue on the Christening Cermony planned especially for special events, ceremonies, ect...
what a bro
like living in an office
A lot of ill-conceived deck details seem to plague this boat. The manufacturer seems more concerned about a chic appearance than seaworthy functionality.
I have also noticed that almost all of these "modern" hull shapes, whether 35-ft. or 60-ft., hobby-horse and pound quite severely in even a moderate sea state. I think there are fundamental flaws in these designs. Definitely not good for comfortable cruising.
And the fridge is "huge"? C'mon.
👍
Review some J/boats
Яхта понравилась. Не очень большая, но я был бы счастлив, мне бы хватило. А Вам?
Vladimir Alexandrov И не круизер на дальние дистанции и не гонщик на короткие... как викендер (на выходные с друзьями) великоват.Но претензия на понты- однозначно. ИМХО на любителя пароход.
Serhiy Lonko Наверное, не очень круизная лодка, хотя путешествуют и на меньших. Вопрос в автономности, то есть оснащенности для дальних походов. Также важнейшими условиями являются крепость корпуса, мореходность. Что насчет гонок, скажу, что все относительно. Конечно, эта яхта не сможет гоняться с морскими гончими, как лодки класса OPEN, но с яхтами своего круга может иметь успех. Претензий на понты не увидел, интерьер далеко не самый богатый. Снаружи все необходимо, не более того. Как уикендер, на мой взгляд, вполне хороша. а размер - дело вкуса, возможностей и осадки.
10 years ago , £150k all in . Prob worth not much less now
flipping lottery numbers never come up... one day!
I invite you all to made boat specific cad cam programs and to design another 100 boats this decade for a sort of renaissance......enjoy our beautiful world and Lord. jesus.
This boat is really good looking, but very un-useful. I do not like that boat. I love the SunBeam 36.1 tested by this legend of a guy
Watched a lot of yacht reviews and so far this is my least favorite. (The boat, the reviews are awesome as always)
The
chart table.... well seen better
Not as nice as the Premier 45
But: VERY ANNOYING MUSIC. Aaaagggghhhhhh!!!!!!!
Bad boat
No thanks.
why
I'm gonna need the gentleman who does these videos to dress it up a little bit. Not a suit and tie but I mean let's give this job a little bit more respect. You are quite lucky to have such a gig. I don't really think you're representing the magazine very well.
Hes the best reviewer on youtube. Relax
Dominic T that's the truth
Annoying and pessimistic guy reviewing an excellent boat
