I’ll be taking delivery of the 37 in May. Sail away U.S. $375,000

This was a great review and one I've been waiting for all week. Thanks!

Me: looks at title Me: curiously looks up price before watching video Also Me: closes video after realizing how poor I must seam to these people

Thank you, excellent review, I've been eyeballing this cat for the last year. Also try the Moon Cursor Toreiga National from Osoyoos. 👍

Enjoying the format.

Beautiful boat…. You should be there rep. because you sold me. New fan of the channel.

Great video. I like this boat. Very nice layout for its small size. It is within my budget and is big enough for my usage. Aventura do make a 44 and has been available for some time now. You still need a symmetrical downwind sail like a Parasail for your dead downwind run like crossing the Atlantic going west. Code 0 don't really work well at 180 degree unless you have a very fast boat like the Dragonfly 40 you mention in your video.

Me and my wife have been saving up and abandon the leopard 42. Witch is soo expensive compared.. This is our home for 3

Obviously I watched your video because I saw something somewhere else about the Aventura 37 and couldn't believe the price point! I've sailed on a 38' catamaran for about 900 miles and coming from a monohull background, was impressed mostly by its performance! Eleven knots downwind will do that to a person. I own a Catalina sailboat here in Southeast Alaska and am recently retired, but I've been racing sailboats for 30 years and have done several passages of 900 miles or more as crew for friends. It's a unique experience sailing here, due to the cooler weather and unpredictable winds. Plus, the water is cold and you don't wanna go overboard. It can kill you. A friend of mine sails a monohull out of Norway, across the North sea and I recently saw a video of his where for the 2nd time in a row, his new top-down asym furler caused him issues. After watching the video, it looks like the leech and the luff can overlap sometimes if one of them gets backwinded, and can jam up the rotation of the furler. I think he was sailing solo and just didn't keep a bit of tension on the spinnaker sheet. Plus, he tried to fly it in about 18 knots of wind, but even at that, if it's not 'properly' furled, these top down furlers can cause problems. I have an asym in a sock and have never had an issue getting it back into the sock. My sock has a large throat on it (I've seen others that had a smaller throat and that seems to cause issues if there's a twist in the spinnaker inside the sock). The only time I've had an issue with it was while deploying it while single handing on a race, where once the sock was fully hoisted, the spinnaker wrapped around the forestay (I wasn't at an ideal angle to the wind because it was a bit rough and it was moving the boat around a bit. If I'd had someone on the helm instead of the autopilot, wouldn't have been an issue). Took me an hour to undo it! Either way, in heavy weather, if someone hasn't gotten their spinnaker down in time, an issue with a sock or a furler can ruin one's day. I've seen people rip their sails and have it fall in the water and wrap around their rudder, so a prudent skipper would get the spinnaker furled or stowed at the first sign of increasing winds. Good video. I enjoyed your Dave score. Nice way to judge $$ vs value. I would encourage you to practice reading your script (at the beginning of the video) before you record it. In broadcasting, we called it 'pre-reading', and it should be done out loud until it goes smoothly! Starting @ 1:30, there were a few words you stumbled over (it happens) until about 3:05 or so. Also, if you can purchase a wireless lapel microphone, it'll help with the audio quality. The room you're recording in is large and has an echo and if you're using the mic on your camera, it's picking up both your voice AND the bit of an echo. Also, the 'flying Star Wars banner at the start of the video goes by so quickly, I had to pause the video the read all of it. If you can slow that down a bit, it would look better. People who produce videos tend to feel the rate at which text comes on and goes off the screen is 'just right' because they know what the text says, but those of us who've never seen the text before are trying to read it, so give us a bit extra time! I've been a professional broadcaster since I was 15 y.o (am retired and 63 now) and am perhaps a bit particular about content but I think my suggestions would up your content quality a little! Otherwise, good info and insight into this catamaran and how it stacks up against others!

i like this catamaran. on april i go to test him on waves(charter). In your opinion, there will be a big difference in feeling between it and a 40 Lagon catamaran? I have a sailing yacht 36... Looking for a yacht that will rock less in the waves (especially while standing) because I take fishing trips every day.

"Designed for Sylvia" should be the slogan.

seems the left handed engine controls are counter intuitive, im sure you could get used to it but why?

i found myself making genuine "surprised face" expressions as you walked through this boat! the sense of quality was def apparent in your video... would love some more detailed views of the mechanical systems... they will definitely be on my list when we go to a boat show!! and Ill get my wife to jump on and leave a comment as well ;) any plans to do an Adventura 44 review??

I love it.

Hi Dave, please could you share the score table you have developed? I am in a research path myself and it would help me

Very interesting considering the price, why not making short passages, to the Bahamas from Florida or from France to Ibiza, and for long passage once a year put the boat on a boat carrier...🤔

I would like to have you mention the strength and build of the steering mechanism.

if anybody has any info about how the manufacturer builds the bulkheads and implement them to the hull, pls share - thanks for the video

thoughts about c cats vs adventura hull construction? I thought adventura was polyester? c cat vinylester is that right ? wondering if that's across all models. such a great review !

Such a beautiful boat, I would love to buy one but I have don't know where to call in the US to get more info... Do you happen to have any info that could help? I have enough for the boat but not sure about all the add on's that one probably needs. I hate to admit, I would be buying the boat, living aboard, and then learning how to sail. Does the base price of about 300k USD give you enough equipment to live aboard and to be sea worthy enough for a guy to travel up and down the west coast? Thank you so much for the info.. This has become quite an exciting pull for me! :)

Is this set up for both 110 and 220 volt?? Delivery only in Europe??

David, nice walkthrough as always. i did not see hatches on the deck (good and bad - leaks, but ventilation)...whats your thoughts on this (I know Bali does the same thing). Also, maybe you could also mention the saloon glass materials. I know Phil @ Balance talks about how their glass is tempered glass. Nice, no grazing.

There's no way it's just 7.9 tons. Still, impressive for the price.

how do they age ? build quality etc?

Hello Dave, two questions for this one, is it big enough to live on? Is it safe enough to cross an ocean ? 8 days to go to have answers...😉

Star Wars?

Are those spreadsheets yours?

Hi is 250k +tax IVA?

I’m thinking Aventura needs something in 40-42 range

No dingy davits
