Love it. So compact and made for safe passagekeeping foremost. One can safely circumnavigate in her. It just looks safe. There I said it 3 times. It is not a party boat.
Thanks very much for the tour. A lot to like. Definitely looks safe, practical and seaworthy. I still don't like aft helms, but helm position is very difficult to solve. Center helms use up too much boat space unless the pilothouse is built around it as in Amels. On the other hand most passagemaking is done on autopilot, and the aft helms have good visibility for actual manual sailing. The interior and layout are very practical and tasteful. To me the interior almost looks more Scandinavian than French in terms of shapes. Not sure why the pilothouse needs to be so curvy but I suppose it's intended to have less windage when sailing to wind. Agree this is a better design than the Garcia 45 in some ways. The hull construction is efficient and French rational if a bit less reinforced than some of the Netherlands boats, which for example weld the frames to the hull plating in addition to welding the stringers to the hull here.
We had time on our hands and made the tour of 47.2 and it is a really nice boat. Regarding design and construction we don’t have a clue. The Garcia is a very nice boat as well, guess everything comes down to personal preferences. 😊
Love it. One small thing for me: am concerned about the headlight though. The specs show that the 47.2 has more height in most locations than the 55 OC. What was the height like? I am 6''3". Are you both tall?
What we remember we had no issues re height in the 47.2. Fredrik is about your height, he is 192 cm and in our boat he can stand up straight in the saloon and also in front of the zink (where he does a good job, LoL). Our seat in the doghouse is lower than standard, so there's no problem for him to sit straight. Jeanette is a little shorter, 171 cm :-)

Danke for the kind words :-)

You are so right 👍
Another good Boreal and crew video. Great evening to watch a video. Beautiful area you are in. Historical. Birthday today and relaxing. Enjoyed much.
Glad you liked it and there is more to come. 😀
@@bushpoint Great!

As a a tall fella how was the headroom in the 47.2. Is it suitable for my 1.94m or would I struggle
It might work for you, Fredrik is 1.92, but you have to try/check👍🏼
@@bushpointcheers. 👍🏻
I love it!
Thank you
I love your boat what navigation are you using is it time zero
Yes we're using time zero, we have Furuno plotters
@@bushpoint is there a chance you could do a review of the nke autopilot, there is not much content out there about it
We’re not so fond of doing reviews. You can probably find more information in French, since it’s a French product. Many race boats use NKE. Sorry.
I really liked the stainless countertops in the galley
Stainless steel was in most apartments during the 70's in Sweden when we grew up and we love it!
I have a question….How do you do ….if you need to change the motor in the future? How is going out?
It will have to come out from where the stairs are, and that will be a tricky one, hope the engine will last a long time🤞

Out of interest, did you consider a 47.2 or were you already decided on the bigger version?
The 47.2 did not exist when we ordered our boat. But probably not. 😀
Is it much smaller than your 55?
Just a little bit bigger, we have another 2 meter to handle 😀
Nice one.. but I didn't know that Robert Gustafsson was a sailor... 😉🙂
😂😂😂 He is a man of many talents
And fun to be with 🥰
Half the price of an Amel 50. 👍
👌
Seriously: entering a boat which is not yours with dirty hiking boots???
Sorry for that! It will not happen again.
