Beautiful boat! And yeah, it is definitely becoming apparent that at least for liveaboards, having the saloon act as more of a living room area, rather than playing double duty as a dining room as well is pretty successful. Sometimes you just want somewhere to sit and lounge that isn't at a table. May Ona bring many years of excellent sailing!
Another great video Rob! Ona is absolutely gorgeous and the white powder coating on the cockpit stainless is a perfect subtle touch. Well done indeed Privilege.
I love the powder coat. It is a great design statement and probably is cooler in the sun than polished stainless. The lack of a salon table should be more widely adopted because of the table on the stern.
Beautiful color scheme and love the white wheel at the helm. Nice job Rob on giving perspective on the engine room with you in it. Can we expect to se a similar video soon on a new 580??
I am 90% a monohull kind of guy, mostly because that is the kind of boat with which I am most familiar. Although, I did own a Hobie cat 16 that I adored for pure speed and fun. Also, I am not at all fond of blond wood on any sailboat. No matter how well done the joinery, it still looks like a cheap motel to me. But, that is strictly a matter of style and taste. That being said, I really like and appreciate this cat. The exterior is elegant, functional and well thought out as far as I can tell. Outstanding and major kudos for the hard topped enclosed helm station. EVERY sailboat should have a hard bimini and dodger to protect and provide a comfortable position for the helmsperson so he or she can concentrate on steering the boat and not be distracted by soaking wind water, spray and the need to hold on in rough conditions. Anything less is dangerous, which means stupid. Privilege did a great job. Rounded corners on the counter tops, excellent! Very functional U shaped galley, excellent again! The engine rooms look roomy accessible and well laid out, so another "excellent" awarded. However, of some concern is the positioning of the nav station. I do not mind that it is aft facing, but I do have concern that there is no seating and that it is closely adjacent to the port(?) hull companionway. What is that, a six or seven foot tumble down the stairs if you unthinkingly lunge for the sliding coffee cup or rolling pencil on the desk top directly above the abyss? That is a bone breaking accident waiting to happen. I suggest repositioning it, looking forward, up next to the galley and narrower. It does not need to be that wide. You can cut into some of the lounging space. After all the people steering the boat so it doesn't run into stuff or turn upside down and the people navigating the boat so you can arrive at your destination (and not run into stuff) are more important than being able to lounge around and quaff beverages. I would really have liked more time on the standing and running rigging, controls and accommodations, rather than the dolphins, but I am certain they were excellent also.
RobI don't want to be a buzz kill, but you could have at least caught the broken champagne glass before it went in to the water!! I know it is not a lot but but every bit counts!! Don't get me wrong, I love your vids, but please see if you can fix this for the next ship christening.. Thx
As an ex ships engineer I love the attention to detail in the engine room. My only thought is that I've seen a number of catamarans with damaged sugar scoops that flooded the engine compartment, is there anything to reduce the additional damage to ancillary equipment in the engine compartments?
Did you previously own an Antares 44? Can you share with us your thoughts about the new Privilege as compared to the Antares? It is obvious that the Privilege is a larger catamaran. Can you comment about the construction? mechanical? sailing characteristics?
I'm sure there's some sort of tradition of launching a new boat - breaking the bottle on the bow and stuff, but somebody should have thought ahead to all that broken glass in the water. Just saying..
0432. Clearly you’re one of those one of those good luck with that cannot wait till 2024 2025 life, in America, and the world will be much different, tolerate things like you
To everyone ganging up here, just get a nylon pantyhose or stocking to put the bottle in before smashing. I could care less about the glass breaking, I just don’t want some hull scraper getting cut down the road.

May Ona bring many years of excellent sailing!
I love that helm design. I hate flybridges so I would love if more larger catamarans used this design.
I liked the design but it seems weird that they chose to enclose everything but a narrow strip. Why not just have a full frontal enclosure?
Another great video Rob! Ona is absolutely gorgeous and the white powder coating on the cockpit stainless is a perfect subtle touch. Well done indeed Privilege.

I love everything about Privilege Yachts. Ona is just beautiful. The powder coating is a nice surprise and looks amazing. Great job on the tour Rob!

Yes, we expect to post a 580 tour in early September
7:55 smart ! Listening to your customer and listening to the comments is the best marketing you’ll ever do! #RobintheEngineroom 🙌🙌
Would love to see an in-depth tour of that new 640.
We hope to have something by the fall.
Thanks for breaking glass where my kids play
Fabulous tour‼️ Love the owners ideas ✌️
.
I would love to see a tour of more information on the power cat. ✨ 👍✨🌞
I could not do without my saloon table as I use it for my laptop workstation.
Nice update on the Privilege 510.
The bad thing about Privilege sail boats is the Nav Station facing aft...why can't they face forward...but anyways the boat still awesome.

As a semi-custom builder, we are happy to accommodate the changes you've detailed in your comments.
As usual, very informative...Rob, when can we see a finished 580 on the water? We've been waiting to finally see one..
Cheers from YYZ
The 580, along with the new 510 will be at the Cannes Yachting Festival in France from September 7 to 11
⛵⛵⛵wonderful ❤️❤️❤️Thanks⛵ very good

Perfect! No controversies or judgment crises, but nowadays it's a flawed act.
I assume these are the same owners of the previous Antares named Ona. Would love a video of some of the comparisons and reasons for the upgrade.
Is there a 510 with the galley down?
All the 510s have the galley up layout with an additional large pantry and separate fridge/freezer in the port hull corridor.
So it doesn't have any bedrooms? Or did you leave them out on purpose ?
*saved for future reference...post retirement ;)
As an ex ships engineer I love the attention to detail in the engine room. My only thought is that I've seen a number of catamarans with damaged sugar scoops that flooded the engine compartment, is there anything to reduce the additional damage to ancillary equipment in the engine compartments?
Very nice Cat....
Just subscribed
Gorgeous.)))
How would the cockpit enclosure hold up to a rogue wave? Just curious.
It seems that the water maker's control panel is located in the engine room. Why ? Shouldn't it be located somewhere more reachable ?
Of course! There are controls on the inside by the chart table for remote use of the water maker.
Did you previously own an Antares 44? Can you share with us your thoughts about the new Privilege as compared to the Antares? It is obvious that the Privilege is a larger catamaran. Can you comment about the construction? mechanical? sailing characteristics?
Some color scheme, name and font to that Antares 44
beutiful
Can’t see forward from the saloon when seated..,
try and stand upright in the engine room of any other catamaran that size!
каюта не показал!!! cabin not shown!!!
What was that dingy?
Would like to know also!
@@herteltw Don't think anybody cares at Privilege Catamarans America
It's an OC Tender out of New Zealand. Check out their website octenders.co.nz/
@@PrivilegeCatamaransAmerica Thanks.....
@@PrivilegeCatamaransAmerica great thanks!
I’ll take 2
I was only interested in the bedrooms which he never showed
Terrible forward face view whilst sitting in lounge. Forward windows way too high. Seems heavy ~16 unloaded. Navigation station facing backwards.
I'm sure there's some sort of tradition of launching a new boat - breaking the bottle on the bow and stuff, but somebody should have thought ahead to all that broken glass in the water. Just saying..
If they could harness the dolphins, they wouldn’t need the sails or a motor!! Now that’s GREEN energy!!!
Smashing glass into the marina, they clearly could not care less for the environment.
a real turnoff ! So SV Zatara is a Privilege and they certainly love that one.
You clearly have spent zero time around marinas or boats.

Absolutely love the privilege!!! But that particular interior is to cold and sterile for my tastes!!
Smashing a bottle into the sea just for a photograph. Embarrassing.
smash bottles into the sea
Looks like someone copied the exterior color combo and name, even the font from the 2012 Antares 44 Named Ona 🤣
They were actually the original owners of the 2012 Antares! When they sold her the new owners kept the name.
Fancy breaking a bottle into water. More money than common sense. Let's hope he's the scuba diver who stands on it.
Does the 510 have a option for a galley down?
No 510 or 5 Series for that matter have been built with a galley down to date. It is something will are willing to consider
