Splendid Saga! I have a few truly embarrassing moments from my first passages as skipper, I should have the courage to tell them too....like the one 250 miles west of Walfish Bay where I mistook a giant tow (oilrig?) on the horizon 20 or 30 miles away for the bridge deck of a tanker trying to run me down imminently no matter which way I altered course, or how often or severely (blush)...I have never been more frightened, and have never been any safer! "Big Ship, Big ship...ch 16...panic...." ...I still blush..
I founnd this review after seeing one up for grabs for 36k USD. seems like an excellant buy. II'm actually wondering if I mis read or there is a typo in that price. thanks for vid.
Congratulations Mat, a very impressive implementation of this concept. Great solutions. What are the power options? Will you offer diesel or electric versions as well? Petrol is not everyone's choice. An electric engine arrangement could reduce the central engine's volume greatly. Maybe Oceanvolt?
After 3 years this has no thumbs down. That zero was sp surreal that I was overcome with an attack of Percyitis and my index trembled over the virgin thumb for a full minute. Luckily, I remembered in the nick, that Percy had gone over. To the other side? I wondered. Was he looking for more pounds, shillings and pence? I would have to seek the next installment.
Mr Cunliffe, the most credible sailor in the UK.....I always come to his channel to hear experience above chatter....thank you for posting, it’s greatly appreciated !
I was going to post the exact same thing. People have been single handing Super Maramu's with the same setup for decades. You simply let the line off the winch self-tailer, take a wrap off and then hold on to and release as necessary the bitter end as you activate the electric furler. You can do this from the comfort of the Captain's Chair so no worries. On the main, you have two fingers, so push the main outhaul and main furler switches at the same time (in the same manner as you do to bring it out). On the Mizzen, it is just as easy... wind two winch cranks at same time that were designed to be operated by one person. They are big boats so an extra person is helpful around the dock but it was designed so that a retired housewife that can lift a bag of groceries could single hand it so his comment was a bit off putting.
Apologies... But this is more of an endorsement than a review. There isn't enough video or specific data for this to be an actual review. Nothing wrong with a short endorsement. It's just that I was really hoping for an actual review. It seems like you don't really have time for this. It's more like you were compelled to poop out a "review". Inexpert audio and scene transitions are entirely forgivable because this is RU-vid, and very few of us begin with professional video producer chops, but when your attention is not on what you're talking about, it comes across that maybe, just maybe you don't _really_ endorse this product. You were there in body, but not in spirit. If stuff is going on in your life that needs to be addressed, why the heck are you making a video about something you're not wanting to make a video about? I hope you get it figured out. Stay safe.
An endorsement I don't endorse? What should I have done? I had travelled for 16 hours from the UK, slept in the back of a Ford Fiesta, enjoyed a great day of sailing on a good boat and then made a video where apparently I'm not 100% enthusiastic - largely because I was trying to appear impartial. What would you have done? If I didn't make the video I didn't get paid. As I explained, the clip is meant to make you want to buy the magazine - still available - so you can read the full review. Surely you understand that principle? If I give the full review in a three minute video clip I am both a genius and have just ensured you don't need to buy the magazine to read the review. It's available here amongst other places: gb.readly.com. I hope you get it figured out too.
Sam, thank you kindly for your reply. I took you seriously and wrote a fairly long reply because I read your written review and found it far more engaging. Please take the time to read what I have to say in the link below. You're a well-reasoned and appropriately critical reviewer. Impartiality is not your playing field. low.li/story/2020/12/boreal-55-reviewer-response/
Nonsense. There are literally hundreds of 50+ foot Amel's that have circumnavigated the globe and many in very challenging conditions. I've spent 8,000 miles offshore in them with up to 20' square waves with winds in the mid 40's in the Gulf Stream and have felt extremely secure no matter the conditions. The master cabin has lee cloths - as does every other berth (although you'd never know it from this review). Older Super Maramu's have lee boards. There is no point in sailing an Amel past 15˚ of heel as it just gets draggy and goes slower. Look at the polar diagrams for any of them and it is clear that if the bank gets that high, you are over canvassed and should be reefing (which takes all of 10 seconds). As far as the main cabin goes, there are no shortages of hand-holds (placed exactly where you would put your hands with your eyes closed or in a pitch black cabin). I do agree that the new 50 and 60 are a bit deficient in that respect but then so is just about every modern sailboat and don't get me started about cats.
A great story as usual. The coolest part for me was not technology or intuition, but the part about local knowledge of tidal eddies. I watched a RU-vid series called “keep turning left” about slowly circumnavigating your sceptered isle. Among other things it’s a sailing videographers love poem to the marvelously complex tides and estuaries that are inextricably woven into the history of Britain. I think it will be a while before technology supplants the local knowledge of your old friend. I could be wrong, though, if there’s a good enough, detailed enough database of tidal depths and flow rates, maybe someone could do map directions to let you take detailed advantage of eddies and such. If you could get really accurate micro wind and weather forecasts, maybe technology can help make sailing somewhat commercially useful again. With your surprise squall, I’m reminded of all the wise sailors who arranged to have someone in a high spot, even on land, maybe with a semaphore, to see what was coming from as far as possible. And they had local knowledge of typical weather sequences. We’ve just got higher spots, a better semaphore, and more systematic local knowledge now.
