      @@willyhenderson6320& @Darth KEK I don't know how build quality and seaworthiness compares to the Galeon, but yes I tend to agree, the Galeons seem hard to beat for use of space and what you get for the price. The rotating cockpit seating, the multifuction bow seating, the drop balconies and moveable interior seating etc. make them feel bigger than they have any right to. (My ambition is to get up to a 500 Fly one day). In saying that, this Prestige 520 is a fantastic and spacious boat and maybe more practical for UK boating.

    Another great meet the owner video (my favourite video type). Yes keep the daughters boyfriend in the crew cabin (haha). Great to hear from seasoned experienced owners. The barbeque on the back , the decision not to have a fly bridge and the reasons for it , the door at the helm , GPS position control. I was thinking , on a boat this size that a fully asymmetric layout would be a good option ? Also interesting to hear that Giles seemed more interesting in touring the British Isles rather than the Med. Liked hearing that the Isles off West coast Scotland features so highly. I travel through Largs now and again. So another brilliant and informative 'meet the owner'. Another lovely owner, thanks Giles for letting me spend a half hour on your lovely boat with some great company !!!
