the only scary thing about the boat is being ripped off by yards for haul outs. Old wooden boat in the states?..., Good luck with that!.... Haul out in south America....
I must be missing something. The inside wheel is grea for bad weather unless you have to adjust the sheets. Then you have to go outside and often get soaked with rain to adjust your sheets. Am i wrong? I'd have a raised central cockpitfully open or fully closed with all lines coming into it and ditch the tillers. Currently it seems poorly thought out.
Prachtige film. Mijn ervaring is dat je beter kunt voor komen dat je van in zijn achteruit weer naar vooruit moet schakelen. Je ziet dat het schip door het wiel effect behoorlijk van koers veranderd. Ik zou zelf met meer snelheid de box in varen .Met een boegschroef is de punt van je schip prima onder controle te houden . Ik gebruik altijd mijn zwemplateau om vanaf aan te leggen. Als mijn stuurboord landvast gelegd is, dan is het in zijn vooruit zetten en rustig wachten. Probeer het eens. Overigens heb ik geen boeg en hekschroef. Ga zo door!
Hmm the story of the swim ladder....its designed from behind the desk...Try open that swim ladder hatch from within the water, we had something similar and changed it because you'd drown behind the boat, Try open it fully on a bouncing boat, which makes the hatch close again in your face and then turn the ladder over the dead point whilst your body is in the water Its a serious risk. We solved it by putting a cassette ladder, it pops out on the push of a button..
Nice Vid and presentation. Only imagine if the French ego would allow an Italian to interior design this beautiful boat. Something about the French and material coding is like so 70's.
3:05 What's with that stupid piano at the navigation station? If there were an armchair or a wine cooler. But a piano? That's just as dumb as a TV in the shower!
I still remember the look on the marina attendants face as I sailed up to the gas dock, dropped sails, and brought her up close to throw the bow line to the attendant. ( my engine was out, so I had to sail her in). 37' sloop.
I hate those forward helm station layouts..... fine if you are racing with a crew.... but has no business on a performance cruiser. I also dislike the stern mount tillers. Fine if you can remove them and use them in emergency or when it is warranted, but otherwise an impediment to movement on the aft of the vessel.
hoping to see the interiors of a HH 66 unit with the new interior design, as seen on the recently posted video about the HH 52. on such a sports machine, I want to see interiors that are more cutting edge.
