    It's a nice boat. I prefer cats. They are easier with guests and for the type of cruising that 98% of owners do, its perfect. It also helps that the resale value on cats is higher.

    I've gotta wonder why you'd suggest a monohull over a catamaran when you show it heeling like that. It's almost like the primary goal of adding hulls is to prevent heeling because a heeling boat sucks to live on.

      because if Bluewater sailing , while unlikely the risk of capsizing might be to great.l
      if you don't reef soon enough, also surfing down waves can be a hazard. another thing, is overloaded the risk of capsizing increases.
      a good Bluewater sailboat is just safer.

    i like the boat but all the video was showing them about 30 degrees heeling...i hate standing on my ear all day at 72 that is very tiring. On a trip that would get very old in a big hurry.

      @@abcgang8048 i'm surprised with all the high tech we don't have something to automatically pay out the main sheet to make the heeling angle less. I have no clue how much more boat speed you can get heeled at thirty degrees.

    The question that needs to be answered is "At $500K+ is that the ready to sail away price?" Or do you still have to add another $100K or more to sail away?

    Hey Chris - sounds like we hit the mono hull sweet spot with everything ever needed. It's really a one boat checklist of the best things found on every other vessel. Really love it. I am going to study the Shiitake out of it and keep it as my new ultimate. Thanks as always for your insight & expertise.

    Since the Annapolis sailboat show, I have been sold on the Beneteau Oceanis line and the Jeannau. After watching this particular video and doing a little more research I will make sure I get aboard a Defour, and a Moody DS before I pull the trigger on any deal.

    Within the Dufour line, I liked the 520 more, it offers more than the 470 and because it is used, it is much cheaper and more complete.

      I liked the Dufour 470 a bit better than the Beneteau 46.1. Loved them both but if I had to choose it would be the Dufour 470 in a heartbeat.

    I saw this boat at Annapolis as well. It was amazing. And I think you're right, cost-wise it is comparable to a 40 foot cat. I thought the Dufour was also priced very well for this size of boat. Nicely equipped versions of this boat list for the mid $700k new.
