    Thanks, Jack! One of the best of the lot. Great main deck - it's like a nicely done flybridge on a 60' yacht. Safe with the high bulwarks. Options are great. Below - nice to be able to choose a real galley too! Hopefully it will make it to the Bahamas!

    Unfortunately, as nice as they seem, they are still just Hanse built boats with the bought out Fjord name stuck on!
    Fjord was one of the great names in motor yachts when they still being built by the original 'Fjord Boats' in Norway, with absolute classics such as the '24 Weekender' etc., which led to them becoming the largest leisure yacht builder in Europe for a time. The 2 types of sailing yachts which Fjord built - the CS28 and the MS33 were also extra special..... What a shame to see so much history lost.

    @johnprance1888 3 роки тому +2

    Of course it's nice it should be for over €700000. I am stunned that people have this sort of spare cash for what is effectively a weekender. Nice video though as always.

    I would say striking rather than beautiful. You buy it to be different, not because it’s the best.
    You could almost say the designer lost his/her “French Curve”. The absence of voluptuous curvature is verging on the jarring!
    Good to see you’ve upgraded your microphone/audio set up. Much appreciated by the viewer 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Around me for the most part the marinas have pretty chill waters in them, slips can be tight but nothing that most people cant manage with a bit of patience while those guys with bowthrusters laugh at us taking our 5th attempt.
