Sailing around the world is risky and no matter how hard you try, you’re never going to completely eliminate that risk. But what if you could buy a boat that eliminated as much risk as humanly possible, without compromising comfort.
Well then you’d be buying a very expensive boat
Designing and building a Bluewater boat is always a compromise between three things; Seaworthiness, comfort, and affordability. For most of human history, Seaworthiness was by far the most important factor when choosing a boat for long distance voyaging. But today the vast majority of new “bluewater” boats are designed from the ground up, to be sold at boat shows. Seaworthiness is something that is not very marketable because green sailors find it hard to recognize at a glance. So boats that value seaworthiness struggle to compete when their interiors are smaller and their price tags are bigger, than all the other boats at the show.
But there is one up and coming boat builder that refuses to even go to boat shows for one simple reason. Kraken yachts, lead by it’s founder, Dick Beaumont, have decided that they will stop at nothing to build the most seaworthy, and yet very comfortable, long distance blue water cruiser in the world. This week we had the chance to tour the Kraken yard here in Turkey as well as to do a full review of their flagship model, the Kraken 50.
So what exactly do you get when you spend over a million dollars on a bluewater boat?
And, the question that’s been in our minds ever since we did this tour, is it time for us to upgrade?

Thumbs up for the Turkish boat building industry.Spearheaded by a hardy Englishman, engineers, technicians and infrastructure to support everything boating is something to be proud of for a sail boat owner (Turkish merchant mariner) like me. You can see the Kraken 50 is a boat you can take to circumnavigate the world without any doubt in your subconscious. Again a great video as usual from a very likeable family. Enjoy Turkey and thanks friends..

Whoever thinks that it is just “cheap / competitive labor near water” is a near-total ignoramus, and I kindly invite them go and build one anywhere they want in the world with “cheap labor near the water” (and that is a lot of coastline). Turkey has experience building all kinds of boats that most competitors do not, coupled with the best machine manufacturing and the strong industrial base for accessing the semi-processed materials you’d need in boat-building AND the super skilled shipbuilding labor to enable you to bring these together in a boat that will cross oceans. With all things into account, the difference in the cost of labour can even look marginal at the end, hence boats built in Turkey are not even that cheap. Seriously, do some research before embarrassing yourselves like this.

Bird in the hand…you sold me on you Atticus II. Dream on but stay grateful for what you have. Glad Desiree came up with the “but Atticus II is our home” statement. Probably not a great thing for a sailor to say but “stay grounded”. Enjoy the laurels of your hard work (no small task!) getting your current boat exactly the way you want. Your mental health will thank you. Have a great day, and enjoy your adventurous spirits!

One of the best Kraken videos. Kraken looks great inside too, unlike the many IKEA-feel boats others make. About no-gas: Worked on an older boat, tearing out the gas installation; we found hand-tight, almost loose fittings (on copper tubing), tucked away up in a cupboard.

Of all the blue water boats out there this is the one that excites me the most. You know the saying that if I win the lottery I won't tell anyone but there will be signs. This would be one of them. It's just such a well thought out boat.

Eliminating propane is so practical and such a future-proofing aspect. Two or three years ago, SV Delos got rid of all their propane too. Mostly it was motivated by eliminating the irritation of finding new adaptors for each country, but also for increased safety. That was combined with a more capable electrical system which supported induction burners all around. Probably for the oven too. The cup holder gave me a chuckle. I have no doubt the yacht industry is placing lots of flashy accouterments all over that do nothing to improve the safety and seaworthiness of their vessels. It is really refreshing to hear of a boat builder who makes the safety and durability job #1!

@fredbrooks8347 Месяц назад

What an absolutely fabulous sailboat! This video was put together so much better than 99% of all the other sailboat tour videos I've seen. Dick is not only a boat building genius, but he's also a great man who obviously loves life and cares about the people who sail in his boats. Thanks so much for introducing him to us.

@Charlie-Oooooo Месяц назад

One of the best 30 minute Kraken videos I've seen yet. This felt like a very "personal' boat review, for lack of better word - and anyway, all the nitty gritty specs are on the website. It’s also Dick Bowman's warmth towards people. He's become one of my favorite salty dogs in the community, and the fact that he's now building these beautiful boats is such a wonderful contribution to the market choices out there. It really feels like he's brought his 'A' game 💯 and thought of everything, based on his extensive sailing experiences. You can feel his heart and soul in the design. I hope he writes a book about how he gathered up all his experiences to build this smart, stout and work-of-art blue water boat - totally 'pimped out' ;-)

@johncrisp6683 Месяц назад

Beautiful boat. So nice to be with an owner who understands first hand.

@muratsinanengin9773 Месяц назад

In early times, Dick would be the royal shipwright. That gentleman means business. That’s why he established it in Türkiye. High quality labour would cost a fortune elsewhere. And this is a solid boat. And… did I say that you guys are adorable? ❤️

@Diesel4242 Месяц назад

I guess I have a new dream sailboat now. Dick seems like an awesome, honest, down to earth man too. What an accomplishment to even build a single boat like the Kraken, much less an entire production line of tanks!

I had enjoyed the interview with Dick by Mil.Falcon awhile back (also nicely done) The Kracken is definitely a boat that sets standards higher than much of the current main stream production yachts. You guys would definitely enjoy the upgrade--but as you said, your needs are currently met with what you have Thanks for another great production

@turipz Месяц назад

One question though - most chainplates fail not as you described it (the paper clip analogy), but rather because the holes into which the standing rigging lines connect to grind away over time and become oval in shape until they eventually break from just getting too thin at the "eye" part that connects it to the line. Another common failure happens when you encase stainless steel in something that prevents oxygen from getting to it, which can lead to "crevice corrosion". When that happens - you need to (and in most boats - you can) replace the whole chainplate. How do you do that with the chainplate being fully embedded into the fiberglass hull like it is in the Kraken?

@ThisIsTheInternet Месяц назад

What's your citation on "most"? Go to google, type "chain plate failure" and look at the images.

@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk Месяц назад

It is a beautiful boat. It’s also huge. Many of the high end features and innovation will eventually make their way down to more production style boats. Roller filers are pretty much standard now, even on sub 30’ boats. I line to see the tradition of seaworthy boat building to continue. It’s important. While most of us can afford a new $1.5 mil boat, eventually they will enter the second hand market. And as they age, they will become more affordable for the rest of us. So for this selfish reason alone, I wish the Kraken team tons of success and inspire more builders to build such vessels.

This sounds like the donkey and the carrot paradigm. The donkey sees the carrot and steps forward to eat it, but with each step, the carrot remains out of reach. You have successfully crossed the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea. Don't buy a 1.5 million dollar sailboat. They are a terrible investment. Buy a house and rent it out. When your voyage is done you will have a place to live and some equity from the property. 😢

@kylebehiels3963 Месяц назад

"The best size boat for you is always 5 feet longer than the one you own" That Kraken is to Atticus II what Atticus II is to my boat. I found myself extrememly jealous when I saw what you ended upgrading to. Since then though I remind myself that with extra length comes extra cost and is harder to maneuver etc... At the end of the day my little 32 foot cutter from the 70's is tough, safe and exactly what I need. If you can afford a Kraken, send it. If you're like me, remember to be thankful for what you have! There will always be nicer boats but to someone, what you've got is their dream.

I personally thought the entirety of the video was excellent! I didn't skip anything I was engaged in every aspect of it. The kraken 50 was the first sailboat that I have ever seen that I just was extremely impressed in! I've never had any interest whatsoever in a sailboat but that one was very impressive. your personal sailboat was surprisingly nice as well! And yes if I were looking to purchase a sailboat I would definitely get the Kraken50.. number one for the safety which is of extreme importance to me but the comfort at my age is something that can't be ignored as well. Great video
