You guys have a great way of sharing your luxurious life while not coming across as rude or pompous. I can tell that you are good people and you make watching your channel fun b/c the viewer feels like a guest visiting some of their mates. Thanks for that...I look forward to your next video.
Great tour, you have shown almost all important on this nice yacht. Just to let you know, Bavaria C45, C50, C57 and C57 were designed in the cooperation of Cosutti yacht design and Pulse yacht design, they did a lot of sailing yachts together, Some Salonas, Swans...Cosutti is responsable for naval architecture and Pulse for interior design and engineering, so Cosutti is what you see from outside, hull, deck, keel, rudder, sails and Pulse all you see and do not see from inside, interiors, structure, recievers, engineering...I had a privilege to work with them, great guys.
I cant remember if I've said it or not but I'm loving your channel 😄 This is a serious boat! thankyou for letting me in your home/lives its top notch👌 Cheers! James
So funny. We meet briefly in a tavern in a small bay in Greece while anchoring during/at the end of a storm in 2019. And now I discover your channel on YT
Can I make a safety suggestion ?? now that I've watched through the whole video , I saw at the end where you showed the 2 pkgs of emergency bungs under the nav station seat , you might want to take a lesson from Zingaro James whose boat just recently "almost" sank , and take those bungs out of the packaging and place the right sized one next to each and every through hole you have on the boat ** then secure each to something close to the through hole with a wire , so if there is a valve failure it doesn't float off , then the bung is right there and ready to jam in the hole !! that way you don't loose time having to run back to the nav station to grab one and then run back to the breach , could mean a lot less water in the boat ! ? stay safe
Thank you Badcat, sometimes it does help to be reminded.. Yes we know James Zingaro very well and know his situation that happened recently. I think taking them out of the bags might be the first step you are right, I think in order to wire the bungs next to the through holes, we need to buy more bungs otherwise if nothing to do with a through hole fitting we will also be running round trying to find an appropriately sized bung..
Wow. Impressive. What a nice yacht. The style and way of presenting it is first rate. Thank you. Oh and the sound insulating of the master is important. Sleep is a good thing off watch. Thank and be safe.
Excellent review showing good and bad. You might consider losing a little wine storage to better 1st aid as per Ryan & Sophie. Great to see your new vlog going so well.
Hahaha just having a beer with Sophie now and we were discussing our medical kit. When we left the UK to sail accross the Atlantic we were actually refused antibiotics by our doctor. We eventually got them through a different doctor but it wasn't easy.
Yet another high quality production from Team Aequus! Thanks so much for sharing that detailed tour! It would be great to hear James give us his overview of how she sails, docking, what he loves, what he’d change or what you have changed etc.... Beautiful vessel and thanks so much for sharing her w us! Fair Winds!
Hello James and Filipa, this is Candice and Roberto. First of all we want to let you know we did enjoy immensely these fun and completely natural videos, they showed how much you 2 have enjoyed the wonders of sailing and cruising. We are in touch with Matt here in the USA and working a way to purchase your wonderful boat. We are often in Europe (we are both originally from the old continent) and hopefully will have the chance to meet you both. Cheers!
Great tour guys, your channel is coming along in leaps and bounds. I enjoy the mix of topics you cover, some similar channels seem to concentrate on only one aspect of cruising. Keep it up and I’m sure your UA-cam viewers will take off.
I’m sure that this question will stir up a hornet’s nest of comments, but here goes...I loved your tour video. My wife and I have a retirement goal very similar to what you are doing now. We want to do a factory pick up, cruise the Med, do the ARC, cruise the Caribbean and complete a circumnavigation before returning home to BC and cruising local waters. The Bavaria C57 is also at the top of my monohull list, along side the Hanse 588. I also want to add the Williams, just like you have done. So here come the questions. I hear so many say that a monohull for a full time couple is exhausting and the cruising on a heel quickly becomes old. Additionally, there are complaints about motion when moored. Having said that, the equivalent living space and style in a cat would be a 50’ at a significantly higher price. So I was wondering how you feel about these comments and what your experience has been? In another note, I love the Williams tender but have heard comments that, because of it’s weight, you might get caught on a beach with the tide having gone down, an you are unable to drag it to the water. Do you have any thoughts on that? Finally, do you ever feel that having the galley and saloon below deck negatively impacts your experience to a significant degree or does the Bavaria design overcome these concerns? Thanks so much for your help.
Hi Dave, I certainly wouldn't rule out a cat if we were to buy another boat in the future but as you say it would be a lot more money for the equivalent size. In my opinion there is no such thing as the perfect boat. Every boat has some sort of compromise. Questions I think you should ask yourself (other than budget!) are... What percentage of time will i actually be sailing on a passage vs at anchor or in a marina? Most people spend way more time at anchor then they do making long passages so its probably more important to be on a boat that's comfortable and has some nice socialising space. Both the C57 and the 588 would be perfect as would most cats. With regards to heeling Philippa does not enjoy it so much when the boat heels and you do have to make sure everything is stowed. But the heeling does mean you can sail upwind better than most cats. Having said that though if you are following the trade winds then the wind will be behind you most of the time so maybe this is not so much of an issue. A cat is more stable when at anchor but most of the time we are very comfortable especially in the Caribbean where the wind and swell come from a constant direction most of the time. Having the saloon and galley below has never really been an issue for us and it also means people can't see directly in when walking or sailing past although I do see that the layout on cats is probably very nice having everting on one level. I absolutely love my Willams Minijet! You would need 2 people to drag it up or down a beach but I usually use the anchor in shallow water rather than beaching it. The other big pro with the Willams is that there is no outboard engine to worry about being stolen. Support from Willams is excellent but you will need to carry spares as the nearest dealer in the Caribbean is in Florida. Servicing will also be an issue when you leave the Med but its fairly easy to do oil and filter changes yourself. Hope this helps.
Regarding the ability of sailing vessels to sail into the wind, The one time you will curse the cats lack of ability to point as against the monohull is when you are trying to tack into a seaway or heavy swell, possibly away from danger. The mono will be making progress, the cat not so much. I have owned both and after the cat I have gone back to a mono albeit older generation but still valid I think.
The living areas of the yacht seem really well thought out!!! It seems very livable!! I like the separate shower and loo in the master cabin! Beautiful yacht!! Love from Vermont
Great Tour! Having everything computerized does make life easier but if something fails getting it fixed may be a problem. I feel like you gave a real glimpse into the future of sailing on a beautiful boat!
Hard to believe, you guys did sail the Med for years but N E V E R thought of those ladrats who wanna see how things are at sea, especially that BAVARIA high end yacht for 2 🤣😂🤣😂😉 (since you mentioned, due to COVID, that guest bedroom has been empty for a loooong time) it seems like, you guys do nothing else, but film 24/7 on your fantastic home?! ⛵️⛵️⛵️ 🎥🎥📹📹 Love that tour, really interesting and nice to see it all. You enjoy your beer parties and the laundry days out at sea. AMAZING yacht, no doubt and your way of presenting your video footage . . . i wonder . . . WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO all day the last years in the Mediterranean Sea? 😉☺️🤫🤔🤭 You can tell me later! 🤣😂🤣😂 Enjoy your sailings and keep those vlogs coming! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Clearly you have the financial ability to own a very nice, large, well equiped and new sailing yacht. A lot of sailing channels I watch, it seems they are spending a lot of time fixing everything on smaller and older boats. The constant fixing of problems while at sea would be a concern of mine. Hope to see you two that the Miami boat show in 2022.
Beautiful boat. Our 33 footer is going to feel pretty small after seeing this. Congrats again on your channel. Really enjoying following your adventures. Stay safe.
Aequus is a most beautiful boat and thank you for the tour ! There’s been a quantum leap in cruising comfort and technology since I first sailed with my dad many, many years ago 😊 Looking forward to seeing more videos 👍
Bedroom = cabin, back of the boat = stern, front of the boat = bow , rope is a line unless attached to a sail then it’s a sheet, and grab bags are usually ditch bags but now I feel bad - and yes the anchor is important 😂
I have been looking at the 57 as the boat I want. Thanks for the walkthrough. I now have to show your video to my fiancé. I think the washer in the 3rd head will sell her on this boat.
1PAHero Might I suggest a water barrier blanket. That can deep be deployed over larger breaches through the Hull than a bung can plug. Say for instance if you hit an iceberg or a floating container. I didn’t hear any mention of a Storm Drogue/ Sea Anchor. And there’s these nifty little things that you can suspend from your boom over the side, while on a mooring ball. To reduce rocking. I wonder if there’s anyway to quiet the water slapping at the bottom of the dive platform?? Just discovered your channel and really appreciate that the two of you have very little previous experience, and now are crossing oceans on the 57 footer! Awesome!!!
The slapping we don't really mid at all, it is actually lovely to hear the water and I don't think I have ever mentioned it nor James, I am also conscious of these things but never given it a thought until you just mentioned it.. it might sound more on camera! We really don't need anything to stop rocking, we very rarely rock to any degree, occasionally we might but it isn't enough to warrant dealing with it. Thank you for your comments and for being here 1PAHero
I'll look into the water blanket as that sounds like a really useful thing to have onboard. Thabks for the tip! As for drogues or sea anchors we don't have one. I know it's a bit of a controversial topic because of the forces these things generate and the issues in deployment/retrieval. I watched an interview with Skip Novak a while ago and he was pretty anti them.
Whoever invented silicone was a gift to MANkind. I mean that sincerely, My last three GFs have been enhanced and the utter joy this amazing substance brought me is beyond words. Kind of like sailing.
Love it guys!!! Love to hear more about your Williams Minijet. How it performs when lightly loaded vs 3-4 people on board and how well it can pull a skier or boarder. It’s truly a lovely bit of kit 👌🏼
Such a great vid Jim/Phillipa, you both look really natural and just being yourselves really works for these. Boat looks amazing, wish we could have come for a trip already, defo will when Covid is done and gone.
Really enjoying your channel, keep up the great videos. I was impressed by how much brighter below deck was than older monohulls. It seems like those lower windows below the deck line really make a difference in natural light. That bathing platform and tender garage looks genius. Beautiful boat. Looking forward to following your adventures.
In one of your videos I think I saw that you have a scuba tank air compressor - where does it live? Thank you for the great videos - fun and informative.
Funny to hear that Bavaria has just started using vacuum infusion. A technique that other boat manufacturers e.g. Euphoria Yachts, X-Yacht and Azuree had been using for years...
Laundry room makes so much sence i could never figer how in 50' space they put so meny toilets it always seemed dumb some boats have 2 toilets pr person
enjoyed alot as always , be good to know on an upcoming video on the medical side how you are set up, the courses in 1st aid you attended , how did you prepare to deal with medical situations, injuries ???? most SV videos seem to skip this subject - one for next time
Thank you for the full tour, love your Bavaria C57! So you 2 have a really great home, i´m a bit jealous i have to say ... Looking forward to see much more from you, love your channel! Cheers from Munich, Germany
Love you videos. Was wondering, are most of the underfloor storage compartments dry? (ie, the ones you show with the wine, drinks etc in the galley and main salon)
Indeed!!! Definitely a slip of the tongue! If you open the door fully there is a full life size picture of you behind the door that we missed filming ;) .....which is there until you actually grace us with your presence Deano ❤🤣
Beautiful and Very user-friendly boat. Do you also have normal swtches on board for lights, bidge pump, etc? Or is the touch-screen the only control option ? Fair winds 👍🏿
Great tour Phillipa and James! It's a beautiful yacht for sure. If I'd ever consider a monohull, I'd certainly be looking at yours. Did you have a lot of previous experience with the electronics equipment you use? If not, what was the learning curve like for you both?
You've got yourselves a wonderful home in paradise and I hope you will enjoy it many years. If I may ask, if you paid the premium price, why did you not opt for a premium brand? Probably a Swan 54 would be more expensive but surely you could get an Euphoria 54 or a smaller Garcia or Hallberg-Rassy?
I approve this video! & I Definitely approve your " Bavaria C57 sailing yacht!!" Ha! Thanx for the share! Just recently discoverd your channel. Subbed & jumped onboard THE ADVENTURE
thanks for the detailed video. could you tell me about the built quality as well? For example if you know about other brands such as Hanse, Bennatau etc could you compare with them? thnks alot
Not sure if you are still checking your comments. We are Bavaria owners. Wondering the Brand of the microwave you have onboard? Bavaria has not been able to give us a recommendation for a microwave they usually install on the C57’s. Thank you!
Literally not a boat, but a floating iPhone) And if the electronics fail, then how will you turn on the pumps in case of an emergency? Isn’t the old system better with conventional and simple switches? Friends in bavaria 45 had a failure even of the old circuit breaker system at Atlantic ocean. But there you can at least turn on or off something directly. And in this case, how can you act in an extreme case? In no case think that I wish you an emergency) Seven feet under the keel)
What a beautiful and well thought out boat!! Though I think they should have spent more time on designing in the clothes washer, the garage is FANTASTIC!!!! I believe your channel will fly. I am pretty sure there are no other women who can out-look this beautiful and sexy woman on the seas. Funny thing is she is friends with another very beautiful and sexy lady, so it's a fantastic day when they are together and loading video cards and both showing them... It's been many many years since I was in England, but it all comes back to me the moment I hear her voice... Stay safe and please keep the videos coming.... Cheers!!!
That's a sweet ride yo! Perhaps some day my wifey and I will get to do what you guys are doing. How many amp hours of Lithium batteries do you have and can you add more should you choose to? Thanx and cheers from Denver Colorado USA.
Bavaria definitely offers more interior space than any other boat with the same length. I actually have a Beneteau 41.1 and want to upgrade to a 50 footer. The Bavaria C50 (Vs. the Beneteau 51.1) has an amazing volume inside and furthermore dinghy garage but everybody is saying me that the quality, the reliability and the after sales service of Bavaria is not so good as the one of Beneteau (I must say I am very happy in this sense with Beneteau). What can you tell me about your experience with Bavaria? Would you buy again another Bavaria? Thanks and wish you greatest adventures!
Hey Pablo, we are very happy with our C57. I recently helped another guy who was buying a Bavaria with a few things to look out for when taking delivery. If you drop me a direct message via our Facebook page I'll be happy to help.
I randomly saw you guys in another youtube video with your lady friend, she sounded french.. and I thought this two would be great if they had their own youtube..aaaand boom you guys have a youtube.. I watched 1st video and it was nice and all.. but way too formal. this is youtube not some TV station. Anyways in this video you guys are more relaxed already, which is nice to see.. You need to come up with better titles and thumbnails for the videos ! YO Philippa ! You need to sacrifice yourself in thumbnails for the views !! Content is good, can get better, keep in less formal, 10-12min long.. maybe some drone shots in episodes and you keep them coming once per week until you catch the monster wave and youtube makes you two famous and video goes viral with 2mill views and you on your way to 100k subs .. Anyways.. congrats on your good life. Enjoy !
Just had a look at the website. They look very nice but are quite a lot more expensive than a comparible sized Rocna... Probably because they are stainless steel.
@@SailingAequus Indeed they are expensive. They use 100% Swedish Steel. I read somewhere there have been requests for cheaper models with plated metal etc but they refuse to compromise. Yes they are expensive unfortunately.
Very nice boat, how much does that boat cost? I would love to have a sail boat and travel the world, but for now I love to ride around the isle of wight on my 85mph Personal water craft with my friends.
You guys have a great way of sharing your luxurious life while not coming across as rude or pompous. I can tell that you are good people and you make watching your channel fun b/c the viewer feels like a guest visiting some of their mates. Thanks for that...I look forward to your next video.
That is great to hear, thanks for being here Lorin
Philippa you’re getting so comfortable on the camera that was amazing ,best yet
Thank you Tammy, that is very kind..
Great tour, you have shown almost all important on this nice yacht. Just to let you know, Bavaria C45, C50, C57 and C57 were designed in the cooperation of Cosutti yacht design and Pulse yacht design, they did a lot of sailing yachts together, Some Salonas, Swans...Cosutti is responsable for naval architecture and Pulse for interior design and engineering, so Cosutti is what you see from outside, hull, deck, keel, rudder, sails and Pulse all you see and do not see from inside, interiors, structure, recievers, engineering...I had a privilege to work with them, great guys.
Really appreciate your openness and the honesty in willing to share your experiences. Thank you!
Thank you Puertolex
beautiful boat. Perhaps a million dollar boat but"what we really like is touch on reading light and the helm refrigerator for beer' funny.
Haha.. that made us laugh
I cant remember if I've said it or not but I'm loving your channel 😄
This is a serious boat! thankyou for letting me in your home/lives its top notch👌
Cheers!
James
Thank you Australia, that is great to hear..
Beautiful yacht. You both are living the dream. Thank you for taking us with you.
Thank you Crazyirish for being here with us..
I doubt the Bavaria sales tour video was that thorough, very nice.
Glad you liked it! Thanks Dane
Enjoyed the tour of your boat
Great thanks Ted
So funny.
We meet briefly in a tavern in a small bay in Greece while anchoring during/at the end of a storm in 2019. And now I discover your channel on YT
Hi Ralph, I remember it well. Small world!
This is fantastic! They should pay you for the promotional content 😜 it’s hard not to be amazed by all the features they smartly puzzled together!
Hahaha Thanks Blair.
Can I make a safety suggestion ?? now that I've watched through the whole video , I saw at the end where you showed the 2 pkgs of emergency bungs
under the nav station seat , you might want to take a lesson from Zingaro James whose boat just recently "almost" sank , and take those bungs out
of the packaging and place the right sized one next to each and every through hole you have on the boat ** then secure each to something close to
the through hole with a wire , so if there is a valve failure it doesn't float off , then the bung is right there and ready to jam in the hole !! that way you don't
loose time having to run back to the nav station to grab one and then run back to the breach , could mean a lot less water in the boat ! ? stay safe
Agree. And some smaller bungs too.
Thank you Badcat, sometimes it does help to be reminded.. Yes we know James Zingaro very well and know his situation that happened recently. I think taking them out of the bags might be the first step you are right, I think in order to wire the bungs next to the through holes, we need to buy more bungs otherwise if nothing to do with a through hole fitting we will also be running round trying to find an appropriately sized bung..

Hahaha just having a beer with Sophie now and we were discussing our medical kit. When we left the UK to sail accross the Atlantic we were actually refused antibiotics by our doctor. We eventually got them through a different doctor but it wasn't easy.
Thank you for the wonderful presentation. I hope you will enjoy your boat for many years to come.
Lovely boat guys....just binge watching your episodes from a cold & grey UK. Cant wait to see more videos
Great thank you David..
Yet another high quality production from Team Aequus! Thanks so much for sharing that detailed tour! It would be great to hear James give us his overview of how she sails, docking, what he loves, what he’d change or what you have changed etc.... Beautiful vessel and thanks so much for sharing her w us! Fair Winds!
It's coming... Did a little solo sail which is coming up soon. In that episode I talk a little more about sailing and docking.
Your boat is absolutely fantastic ...! Very beautiful indeed. Congratulations.
Thank you Eloi...

@@SailingAequus Many many thanks!!! Your comments were very helpful. All the very best!
@@SailingAequus Maybe look at fitting a pair of removable dinghy wheels for those occasions when you need to get the dinghy over land.
Regarding the ability of sailing vessels to sail into the wind, The one time you will curse the cats lack of ability to point as against the monohull is when you are trying to tack into a seaway or heavy swell, possibly away from danger.

Wow! What a proper Yacht! Everything is so well thought out. Thanks for the overview and sharing.
Thank you Rico
WOW! What a beautiful boat. Thank you both for the awesome tour. Loving your channel . You both are naturals for doing such high quality videos.
Thank you Mr45Bullitt, great to see you again..
Great Tour! Having everything computerized does make life easier but if something fails getting it fixed may be a problem. I feel like you gave a real glimpse into the future of sailing on a beautiful boat!
Thank you Allan
Hard to believe, you guys did sail the Med for years but N E V E R thought of those ladrats who wanna see how things are at sea, especially that BAVARIA high end yacht for 2 🤣😂🤣😂😉 (since you mentioned, due to COVID, that guest bedroom has been empty for a loooong time) it seems like, you guys do nothing else, but film 24/7 on your fantastic home?! ⛵️⛵️⛵️ 🎥🎥📹📹 Love that tour, really interesting and nice to see it all.
You enjoy your beer parties and the laundry days out at sea.
AMAZING yacht, no doubt and your way of presenting your video footage . . . i wonder . . . WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO all day the last years in the Mediterranean Sea? 😉☺️🤫🤔🤭 You can tell me later! 🤣😂🤣😂 Enjoy your sailings and keep those vlogs coming! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Clearly you have the financial ability to own a very nice, large, well equiped and new sailing yacht. A lot of sailing channels I watch, it seems they are spending a lot of time fixing everything on smaller and older boats. The constant fixing of problems while at sea would be a concern of mine. Hope to see you two that the Miami boat show in 2022.
Beautiful boat. Our 33 footer is going to feel pretty small after seeing this. Congrats again on your channel. Really enjoying following your adventures. Stay safe.
Thanks Alan
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I hope you enjoy your boat for many long good years.
Aequus is a most beautiful boat and thank you for the tour ! There’s been a quantum leap in cruising comfort and technology since I first sailed with my dad many, many years ago 😊
Looking forward to seeing more videos 👍
Thanks Hamish
Gorgeous vessel. Glad you guys have started a channel. I enjoyed having you two on Ryan and Sophie’s channel.
Great channel guys

Hey mate, Thanks so much. Yes, you must both come out and visit. You're always welcome just let us know.
Thank’s for the tour ! Amazing boat ! See you 😏
Thank you Fabrice..
Really enjoying your channel, keep up the great videos. I was impressed by how much brighter below deck was than older monohulls. It seems like those lower windows below the deck line really make a difference in natural light. That bathing platform and tender garage looks genius. Beautiful boat. Looking forward to following your adventures.
Thanks Chris, yes the bathing platform is awesome for setting up dive /windsurfing / kite boarding kit. Really nice feature to have.
Nice tour. Very well built boat. Thanks 🤝🤝👍👍👍😊
Thanks Tom
In one of your videos I think I saw that you have a scuba tank air compressor - where does it live? Thank you for the great videos - fun and informative.
It lives under the seat just infront of the helm..
Thats so so so good. Educational. Number 1.
Thank you Ignotas
Beautiful boat - but you already know that :)
hahaa thank you Mik ;)
Thanks for sharing! You truly have a fabulous boat!☺️👍🏻
Thank you Joakim
Funny to hear that Bavaria has just started using vacuum infusion. A technique that other boat manufacturers e.g. Euphoria Yachts, X-Yacht and Azuree had been using for years...
Laundry room makes so much sence i could never figer how in 50' space they put so meny toilets it always seemed dumb some boats have 2 toilets pr person
agreed
Thanks for the tour! Fantastic boat you have there!
Thank you Rui for being here..
Great boat. Thank you for the tour.
Our pleasure Calvin
Great video, keep up the good work!
Thank you Daphne..
Great tour... so cool to see you channel, saw you on zingaro and Sophie and Ryan's channel so very cool to get to know both of you .. cheers
Awesome! Thank you Dana, glad you enjoyed it.
enjoyed alot as always , be good to know on an upcoming video on the medical side how you are set up, the courses in 1st aid you attended , how did you prepare to deal with medical situations, injuries ???? most SV videos seem to skip this subject - one for next time
Thank you Stasi, great idea we will keep this in mind to do for sure..
Thank you for the full tour, love your Bavaria C57! So you 2 have a really great home, i´m a bit jealous i have to say ... Looking forward to see much more from you, love your channel! Cheers from Munich, Germany
Thank you Stefan that is very sweet, we are glad we can share it with you here..
Love you videos. Was wondering, are most of the underfloor storage compartments dry? (ie, the ones you show with the wine, drinks etc in the galley and main salon)
Thank you Michele, yes always dry, never wet...
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
It's an awesome yacht , laid out very well .
Thank you... yes they did a good job
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Thank you Johnny, very much..
Great buoyancy aids.
💥correction 2nd aft cabin is named "Deano's Cabin" - I will expect this update in your next video 😉
Indeed!!! Definitely a slip of the tongue! If you open the door fully there is a full life size picture of you behind the door that we missed filming ;) .....which is there until you actually grace us with your presence Deano ❤🤣
@@SailingAequus soon my shipmates!
Beautiful and Very user-friendly boat.
Do you also have normal swtches on board for lights, bidge pump, etc? Or is the touch-screen the only control option ?
Fair winds 👍🏿
Outstanding German sailing vessel- 👍
Thanks Robert..
Bavaria (in my mind) used to be synonymous for a (very) lousy product.
This C57 however looks like a serious improvement. Enjoy.
Yes, I think Cocossutti yacht design did a really good job revitalising the Bavaria brand
Great tour Phillipa and James! It's a beautiful yacht for sure. If I'd ever consider a monohull, I'd certainly be looking at yours. Did you have a lot of previous experience with the electronics equipment you use? If not, what was the learning curve like for you both?
Hi Diana, the learning curve was exactly that, we learnt as we did it.. no previous experience..
@@SailingAequus I'm so technically challenged that I'm still trying to figure out the camera on my phone! LOL
Ah yes the Axe, so if there is a whole under the waterline you can make another whole next to it for the water to leak out! ;)
You've got yourselves a wonderful home in paradise and I hope you will enjoy it many years. If I may ask, if you paid the premium price, why did you not opt for a premium brand? Probably a Swan 54 would be more expensive but surely you could get an Euphoria 54 or a smaller Garcia or Hallberg-Rassy?
Amazing interior! Can you do a video showing how you get the tender in and out of the garage?
It's coming 😁
I approve this video! & I Definitely approve your " Bavaria C57 sailing yacht!!" Ha!
Thanx for the share! Just recently discoverd your channel. Subbed & jumped onboard
THE ADVENTURE
That is great to hear thank you A Rottie..
thanks for the detailed video. could you tell me about the built quality as well? For example if you know about other brands such as Hanse, Bennatau etc could you compare with them? thnks alot
Excellent video. What is the max size of tender for tender garage of your c57 ?
Hi Murat, it is 2.8 metres, that is a perfect fit..
Not sure if you are still checking your comments. We are Bavaria owners. Wondering the Brand of the microwave you have onboard? Bavaria has not been able to give us a recommendation for a microwave they usually install on the C57’s. Thank you!
Great video😊😊
Thank you Jonny
Literally not a boat, but a floating iPhone) And if the electronics fail, then how will you turn on the pumps in case of an emergency? Isn’t the old system better with conventional and simple switches? Friends in bavaria 45 had a failure even of the old circuit breaker system at Atlantic ocean. But there you can at least turn on or off something directly. And in this case, how can you act in an extreme case?
In no case think that I wish you an emergency) Seven feet under the keel)
Hi Paul, thank you for your comment, there are actual manual switches for the bilge pumps also...
Hi. Nice and very helpful video. Planning to buy a CR50 and wonder what you think for ocean crossing with them? Not comfortable as blue water boats?
Thanks for the tour, what a dream boat. I was wondering is that a hood in the cupboard above the stove?
Thanks. Yes its an extractor fan for the hob.
Great video, when deciding on which boat to buy did you consider a Catamaran?
We would consider a cat though we have never actually sailed one, we do love our beamy boat though :) thanks for being here Andrew
@@SailingAequus Yeah a truly beautiful boat... enjoying your videos they get better each time 👏🏻
What a beautiful and well thought out boat!! Though I think they should have spent more time on designing in the clothes washer, the garage is FANTASTIC!!!! I believe your channel will fly. I am pretty sure there are no other women who can out-look this beautiful and sexy woman on the seas. Funny thing is she is friends with another very beautiful and sexy lady, so it's a fantastic day when they are together and loading video cards and both showing them... It's been many many years since I was in England, but it all comes back to me the moment I hear her voice... Stay safe and please keep the videos coming.... Cheers!!!
Thank you Steve, what a beautiful message to leave,
Wow 😳. Your boat is fully equipped. Its the biggest Bavaria monohaul. May I ask is it worth buying a catamaran for the price you paid for B57?
Depends if you want a catermaran or not. For the same money you would be getting a smaller cat for sure.
How does the shower master cabin work in real life? Seems a little cheap solution but maybe it works?
The shower is amazing..
That's a sweet ride yo! Perhaps some day my wifey and I will get to do what you guys are doing. How many amp hours of Lithium batteries do you have and can you add more should you choose to? Thanx and cheers from Denver Colorado USA.
Thanks. We only have 300ah of lithium at the moment but we are planning on adding at least another 100ah.
Bavaria definitely offers more interior space than any other boat with the same length. I actually have a Beneteau 41.1 and want to upgrade to a 50 footer. The Bavaria C50 (Vs. the Beneteau 51.1) has an amazing volume inside and furthermore dinghy garage but everybody is saying me that the quality, the reliability and the after sales service of Bavaria is not so good as the one of Beneteau (I must say I am very happy in this sense with Beneteau). What can you tell me about your experience with Bavaria? Would you buy again another Bavaria?
Thanks and wish you greatest adventures!
Hey Pablo, we are very happy with our C57. I recently helped another guy who was buying a Bavaria with a few things to look out for when taking delivery. If you drop me a direct message via our Facebook page I'll be happy to help.
@@SailingAequus may I ask what some of those items are to look out for? Cheers from Denver Colorado USA.
I randomly saw you guys in another youtube video with your lady friend, she sounded french.. and I thought this two would be great if they had their own youtube..aaaand boom you guys have a youtube.. I watched 1st video and it was nice and all.. but way too formal. this is youtube not some TV station. Anyways in this video you guys are more relaxed already, which is nice to see.. You need to come up with better titles and thumbnails for the videos ! YO Philippa ! You need to sacrifice yourself in thumbnails for the views !! Content is good, can get better, keep in less formal, 10-12min long.. maybe some drone shots in episodes and you keep them coming once per week until you catch the monster wave and youtube makes you two famous and video goes viral with 2mill views and you on your way to 100k subs .. Anyways.. congrats on your good life. Enjoy !
Hahahaha... Glad you are enjoying the vids. Not sure we will ever be UA-cam famous but we are enjoying documenting our adventures.
Excellent boat, great decision..
Thank you Onar..
By the way, you will think Rocna anchor is great until you try an ULTRA anchor!
Just had a look at the website. They look very nice but are quite a lot more expensive than a comparible sized Rocna... Probably because they are stainless steel.
@@SailingAequus Indeed they are expensive. They use 100% Swedish Steel. I read somewhere there have been requests for cheaper models with plated metal etc but they refuse to compromise. Yes they are expensive unfortunately.
Hi guys! What about piracy? Have you done something about that?
I spilt my beer . . . . if you know what I mean . . .
1st boat with the proper amount of beer coolers.
You know that Dave! ;-)
Very nice boat, how much does that boat cost? I would love to have a sail boat and travel the world, but for now I love to ride around the isle of wight on my 85mph Personal water craft with my friends.
Isn’t there also bunks
