Thanks for a very thorough review, particularly of the rigging. 8:48 I call that 2-d sheeting since the low friction rings for the headsail sheet leads can be moved in a plane.
I'm starting to like the German style main sheet system. It's somewhat analogous to the headsail leads in that it allows some 2-d positioning to control both mainsail twist and leech shape.
Feedback, the camera moves way too much. It's much better to pan slowly or not move the camera at all.
I love the seating behind the wheel, because I have a bad knee and need a $230k foot rest.
Nice one Theo👍 🙂
25:54 330 liters of fresh water plus an option for another 110L (assuming it matches the diesel tank on the other side) is a crazy amount of water for a boat this size.
At that point build in a substantial house bank, and some solar for a water maker.
My 2010 hanse 375 had 370 liters of water. Nothing exceptional here
Honestly this seems to be aimed squarely at the charter market.
If you were buying for yourself, I really don't see much attraction, for less money you could get a slightly older boat but with a much better build quality & possibly already setup for cruising.
Please do these tests with furling main and self tacking jib because it’s what almost all buyers choose to get.
There isn't much actual sailing; it's mostly a tour of the boat.
Also it's not incredibly clear what the market is for this boat. It seems more day sailer or coastal cruiser than bluewater cruiser.
Well, it's certainly not blue water. Hamble -Cowes-Hamble or Benodet-Glenans-Benodet on sunny days at the weekend.
sooo expensive
That's incredibly cheap for a boat this size.
I appreciate the thorough review, but the wildly unstable camera work makes the video difficult to watch. I guess it gives the viewer a sense what seasickness would be like on the boat.
Seeing how deep an angle downwind is possible would be useful. Assume the lack of backstay means spreaders are swept well aft, severely limiting the boom angle.
It’s not terrible, but that aft cabin is really tight! 😬
I do like that “workshop” space, but I would make it pantry space. Perhaps a nice place to put a freezer?
I am sailing 389. One advantage the SO38 is the front cabin. They have sacrifised the 140 lt two door fridge, bimini , wide aft cabin and many more. The boat has lost several advantages. Eould not change my boat with the new one.
after your review - i feel like Jeanneau should hire you to review models before they launch them. The small things you identify - like those steps that don't open, the lack of a light for the engine, the water strainer buried at the back of the motor - honestly, it disgusts me. You'd think Jeanneau got in to the business a month ago, with that lack of attention to detail.
i have a 1988 jeanneau, jeanneau is pretty much a Beneteau nowadays, i like the cockpit space
Watching this from a 40 year old C&c, hearing him talk about wanting composite wheel is funny. The level of comfort in newer boats is insane
i like your Vids but please invest in some sort of camera stabilizers or gimbal or camere with auto stabilzer. The shaking drives one nuts...
What about the twin rudder and the control of the boat while maneuvering with the engine? Is it responsive or not so much?
guess y'all didn't get the memo 'bout the 1-way bottles
Can you test benetau oceanis 37.1??
Could have done a lot more with this boat.
No cutlery drawer!? 🤨
Thorough video, well done, as for the yacht, 284k as tested and when you look at the cheap laminate and plywood seat bases, I think a good second hand boat of a better quality brand would be better, lack of storage space and no drawers in the galley is a no also
"a better quality brand" being what, specifically
@@JohnCornellier island packet, hans christian ,cheoy lee
Horrendous interior the cabin sole is so profoundly ugly
Would you do a storm sailing demonstration in this boat as per Contessa 32?
