Bieuteful boat but look at the comparison , to a modern boat. Modern boats hard and technical, old boats elegant and sophisticated, with a style all of their own.
The 65 is about USD $4.3 million fully kitted out. The 55 is about USD $2.4 million fully kitted out. The 51 is about USD $1.7 million fully kitted. The 46 is about USD $900k fully kitted out.
The people who are genuinely interested in this boat are more into racing and long passages than just charter boat cruising. I would have made an effort show more of the boasts details just as fuel and water storage capacity , the sail locker and bow sprit. Although its obvious the traveller is a pretty important detail that you get on the GT6.
Thank you for the comment. The helm controls are hidden under a chart table in the main salon. You will see the chart table in the video where the radio is mounted.
I really like this boat. It has a lot of excellent features. The space, the storage and the layout make this a palace for a capable cruising couple, with occasional guests. The galley is fantastic with wonderful counter space sufficient to actually prepare a meal. Something that was not adequately demonstrated though is, do the cabinet doors and drawers have solid positive locks to keep contents in place in rambunctious seas? Also, how is the sound insulation for the owner's cabin in the main salon? If one of the kids or a guest is on night watch at the nav station, how private is that cabin? Love the engine room. One could actually maintain or fix systems without being a contortionist. Well done. I would like to see how the helm station would be properly enclosed for weather protection. I do not understand why such an enclosure is not a standard feature on all, not just this Neel, sailboats. As if anyone not on a racing boat is going to stand watch and pilot a boat out in the open, exposed to wind, cold, rain and spray for days or weeks on end. (Yes, this is an excellent luxury SUV with all the features you could desire for an excellent price! You should buy it, but of course, the windshield and glass for the rest of the windows are not included.) Get my point?
I wouldn’t buy a lagoon boat since the disgusting way its customers of the 450 bulkhead issues were treated. According to owners they were told on the phone and emails that they were mad. They did have issues and this company tried to hide them. I wouldn’t buy a boat from their parent company Groupe Beneteau either.
I wonder whether the sunbed area at the back of the flybridge can be made to be on the same level as the floor of the front of the flybridge? and because I'm no fan of sunbeds, I'd want the hard bimini to go all the way to the back.
Very cool Ally. It’s so great seeing you live ur dream life. Keep killing it 💪🏻 from a stony Brook beach comber with a single sunfish to a yaght captain in the Caribbean. Very inspiring . 🐟🐟🐠🐟
