Beneteau 41 Swift Trawler - AMAZING SUNSET plus WALKTHROUGH with Dan Jones 

G'day Patrick, this is great feedback so thanks for that. I hadn't actually considered that showing the evening lights is a real good point for potential owners so i'll try and add this to future walkthroughs of boats in this category. Super happy to hear we are both on the same page in regards to the boats target market and usage. I always just get onto a boat and let the design talk to me as I'm walking through the boat. The features and design cues generally explain to me who the boat is intended for and then the video just flows from there. May will be beginning of your summer so i hope you enjoy your new boat and have heaps of fun discovering all the cool features and what they can do for you! Enjoy!

Would you have some financial tips for me please,so I can also one day afford some nice boat ?

This would be a fantastic boat for that! No worries, thanks for the feedback!

Exactly! Relaxing with your favourite book… enjoying a cuppa… watching a movie.. we’re on the same page 🤣

Oh I’m happy to hear that! Thanks for watching

Thanks for that Mark! Yes we were having so much fun driving it we just ran out of light. I'm glad it was useful and thanks for the feedback!

Awesome and no worries! Honestly that sunset was epic! Imagine doing the same off Cape Town..! Would be amazing 🤩

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife That would be a dream came true... :)

Thanks!

Thanks Mark! I appreciate your continued support 👍… that teak cockpit table storage was probably my favourite surprise! Just a neat boat this one

Oh great I’m glad that helped!

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife 😀

Thanks Andrew 🙏… I did actually film a sea trail which you can find on the channel. Unfortunately that was the only day I could get on the boat before the owners left for an adventure I believe? Because of lock downs I wasn’t able to return. Hopefully I’ll get another opportunity on the Swift Trawlers in the future because I really do like this range. Thanks for the feedback

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife So I now understand, thank you. By others I meant other RU-vid boat presenters, as I also really enjoyed at the other end of the motor boat spectrum your Saxdor 320GTC reports. The quandary: Limited space but fast, or economy but enjoy everything stored on the way and when one arrives. May be an angle for you and an excuse to finish the outside on the ST41 by comparing the two model types?

G'day, yes i agree 100%. At every turn i kept being surprised about the amount of space plus the wise design choices that make that space practical and useable for multiple people and activities. This would function very well for a week on the water with 4+ people. Regarding the cored hull, i dunno if it is the case so would need to ask Beneteau. Wood core gives you very good strength but rot can be an issue if water is allowed to get in so yes that needs to be considered. I'm not sure if cold vs hot climates make a difference to this so would be interesting to understand if someone from a cold climate can comment? My observations in general is that the large volume production builders will make some quality sacrifices in order to keep the price down and the man hours during build low. While this can be a compromise for owners it is true that they seem to hold their value on the brokerage market so you can get in and out of boats like this fairly easily and cost effectively which is a big advantage as well. Thanks for the feedback

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife it does use balsa core. I was recently on a well used 2015 Swift 44 in Thailand and it was in great shape so I think if you do your maintenance and look after it it will be fine for decades of use.

I agree with you the layout is super smart! In terms of build quality it’s the same with all the mass producers so as long as you look after it you should get plenty of good holidays on a boat like this. Yes the sedan version does look great 👍 I’ve not seen one in person yet but would like to test! Thanks for watching!

As with all the Swift Trawler range the 12" screens are an option. There's loads of options actually so you can configure the boat exactly like you want it.

Thanks yes i've since learn't this. Great boat!

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife it is. Perfect for family get aways for a few weeks. I'm probably going to get one and take delivery in Malaysia and take it across to the Philippines, so looking to max the range out. Might even fit a Quick Gyro stabilizer in the Lazarette at some point if I find her too rolly at anchor.

Amazing use of space for a 41ft boat! A family would be so comfortable for a week away on this. The 47 must be a battleship compared to this!

Check out my test drive video on this (video description) where I show you all of that

Great boat, especially coming from sailing in my opinion. I don't actually have a cameraman i just give the camera to the dealer who's boat i'm filming and i try to coach him on how to film me.

Take a look at the Whitehaven Harbour Classic 40 on my channel then. These boats are more custom and i think you find more of what you like there. Thanks for watching

I don't speak this lingo but hope you enjoyed the video :)

This was one of our earlier videos and i know what you mean i got tired of seeing me too. My camera lens and rig for this shoot was actually too big and without a wide enough angle to capture everything so thats the best we could do. Thanks for the feedback and i'm aware of this so trying to improve, cheers

Sorry Tanya, more cupboards next time - noted.

Wow .....show some manners
