The whole saloon looks like an afterthought.

    Superyacht Captain did a review of pne of these, or maybe this one and they had the owner's son who really annoyed me to no end. He was a little too excited for his yacht and went on and on about the systems and design. But to me, this is just a catamaran with stabilizers. It's wide open, like a catamaran or something from Bluegame. I also question it's explorer credentials given the range. Maybe they improved it in thus one, but the other one was 650 NM. That's not a whole lot of exploring. I'd rather take a Bering or Nordhavn or Fleming...

    Aspects that I loved such as the safety and the bedrooms are brilliant, truly inspirational, however an "Explorer" with only a 600 mile range is not going to explore very far. The fly bridge stairs are an absolute deal breaker. Then potentially 7 berths but only a dinning table for 6 ? The enclosed lounge is not exactly social the TV cabinet means ones guest have to sit beside you not opposite that's not exactly conducive to polite conversation without getting neck-ache . And I actually like a traditional tender Garage door which if sun loungers etc are available acts as a (hopefully) Sunshade.

      @@cookiemonster2299 OK but that boat is a _passagemaker._ And passagemakers are wonderful in their own right, both as transport and to enjoy as themselves, but they are entirely different architectures and design requirements to this. Suggestions in this forum are including changing the hull to displacement. Changing the engines to small HP shaft. In turn that would require a fundamental redesign of the transom, all windows, etc. And we don't stop there. Extending range and lowering speed means more time inside, including more time forced inside in inclement weather. So literally everything gets changed internally too.
      The sheer ego of it all. Post after post after post of it.
      I'd say nobody but not quite, but close to nobody, has bothered to try to judge the boat on it's actual design and intended use. (I just removed several f-bombs from the sentence and somewhat regret it.) I mean if people don't _want_ to use a boat for its intended use, if that style of use doesn't appeal, OK. But they're criticising the fact the boat exists in that niche instead of being an entirely different build that they can't afford either.
      Let's make the case for this. You & the family live on the Med coast, Florida, etc. are out for a holiday for a couple of weeks. You fill the tanks and you head off. As a holiday you won't want to do too many hours a day passagemaking, certainly not for days on end, you'll be enjoying the places you stop by be it anchorage or berth, along the way.
      So basically you won't need to refuel during your holiday. Most family holiday yachts top out at 350 miles. If a yacht like that has to refuel once, or twice, you avoided that. That's all. It's not a deal-breaker but it's good.
      But far more importantly it opens "hops" not previously available, or available with a ballache. For an example to contextualise, can now go from Sardinia to Malta directly without a big detour to Scilly to refuel. Balearics to Scilly DIRECTLY. And if those examples don't interest you it doesn't matter. John on a trip had a ballache of phoning a farmer for diesel because he ran out. Three times the legs is a BIG jump forward looking for a port. If you could tell any experienced Caribbean standard motoyacht captain their "hop" range has gone from 300 miles to 1000 they'd be _very_ happy.
      And that's the passagemaking of it. The real point of the yacht is, having gotten to wherever it is, you anchor up and get the drinks out.
      The "but I cannot cross the Atlantic in it therefore I cannot conceive as to why it might exist" crowd... you provoked this.

      Fin stabies require a decent turn of speed. I've never even seen them on a 20+ knot semi displacement boat, but at those speeds, they have to be fairly small to not be dangerous. Hence, they'll be too small to work at truly low speeds.
      Gyros aren't going to be quite the bees knees, at motion reduction in a boat this tall. The low (for a multi-storey tower) COG will help. But nothing is magic.
      And Humphreys work at (semi)planing speeds...
      If you don't care about the above displacement speed, you'll save a LOT of fuel, complexity and cost, by just getting a displacement boat. There's a lot of (arguably over, but the owner is experiencedand knows what he wants....) engineering, and hence tradeoffs, going into letting this thing speed up above displacement speeds. If you want to to make 200 miles in daylight, so you're not stuck out at night, you "need" that. But if you don't care about that "feature", your throwing a lot of money and tradeoffs at something you don't need.

      As for full displacement, yes and no. Yes it's the most efficient way. BUT you don't have a top turn of speed. So what? So that means you're unable to run from inclement weather. That affects everything in the GA (General Arrangement). You need a boat deck not a beachclub platform for the tender. Doors need different levels of water tightness. A good listen is the guy behind Bering, his interviews with NautiStyles.

    One thing that is correctly said is that this is a display boat. Having 3 different types of making the boat more stable is a bit over the top even though a new programmed software was built for it to make all of the 3 to work together "seemingly". Another thing to point out is all the parts you can lift up and down, to make a more easily quick configurations, but it also makes me wonder how durable is it in the length. A floating home it might be, but then it comes with the price to stay still all the time to make sure nothing breaks. Anyway would I recommend this "boat" as a good investment?.....No..and I fairly say so because of my experience as a seaman. It looks nice as showoff near a dock.. but not as a practical boat to use for what it is was meant to be....

    I really like the design & styling of this but the 600 mile range is pretty limiting for something claiming to be an exploring yacht. It seems more like a boat to do some island hoping in the caribbean or cruising around the mediterranean. I think most of the time it will serve as a classy houseboat.

    Man, tough audience Hugo lol. 600 miles is plenty of range. It’s a 62’. That’s not going to Greenland.

    • @paulnorman8274
      @paulnorman8274 Рік тому +1

      IF you somehow managed to heat the interior of that glass house to something livable in Greenland: Those big, single pane windows would crack from thermal stress.......
      While all that plumbing for wet bars etc. high up above the only thing frost moderating, which is the ocean;, would freeze and crack.....
      Pretty much the only places left anymore, which are inhospitable enough to not have coastal populations supporting fuel docks closer spaced than 500 miles, are exactly such butt cold places. Where boats like this, all make a cold, hard, zero sense from the getgo.
      In most other places, many people would prefer the ability to wick it up to 20 knots on more realistic, occasional shorter passages. Even if that means not having a weight allowance allowing for bunkering fuel like a transoceanic supertanker.

    It looks like a trawler without the abilities. You couldn't leave Genoa and decide to go to London, or Toronto, non-stop. It a Med Cruiser like a Princess or a Azimut but dressed differently. I've heard wonderful things on the quality and I like the styling, but I'm ambivalent about it. But then the Swift Trawlers have all the same issues. They're not long distance open ocean boats but I like those too. I could see this in the Caribbean but not the Great Lakes.

    • @darthkek1953

      Correct, there are different boats for those activities. But Princess & Azimut, aside from costing a lot more, have a lot less range. But yes it's a Med/Caribbean explorer, not a globetrotter.

      I could absolutely see this boat work well in Ibiza/Formentera. Stabilisation and reliable ground tackle, are a big thing with the quickly changing wind directions and few truly protected anchorages which weren't already overcrowded by 1970....

    I like the idea of placing the main body more forward (reducing bow area), however what they gained is wasted with such a large cockpit. Extending the salon would have been better, and placing the galley next to the helm is ridiculous (personal taste of course). Storing the tender inside is just torturing anyone who has to service the engineering room. I don't think it's very owner operator friendly for that reason alone. So it's slick, and they spent some time on their logo. My impression is this is the kind of boat you see going out with dancing cellulose laden ladies booming tacky music. But that's just me.

  • @pardus8panthera5
    @pardus8panthera5 Рік тому

    Wonderful use of new innovation & designs. Where this yacht lost me: IPS, no real cockpit on the water for users outside of the Med (fishing, diving, seating closer to water level). Then the layout of the galley which is probably changeable, plus too many sharp edges & corners. No easily accessible dayhead.
    The greatest negatives are that stairway to the flying bridge. Too steep, not safe underway in a big sea, too exposed, & the lower helm is not at all suitable for passage-making.
    Just my thoughts.
