Perfect example of turning a bad sailboat into a bad powerboat.

@gorillaguerillaDK 11 месяцев назад

Drop the Marble and the Teak - make better crew accommodations or drop it entirely - and make a day head on the main deck! But I love that there’s extra storage under the main deck! Oh, and yes, put the galley on the main deck as well - reduce the aft outside area, as there is already plenty of that on the bridge deck…

@jamesparker1455 Год назад

If Ikea sold catamaran kits, this is what I imagine it looking like...plain, simple and cheap looking.

@cwilkinsoncwcw Год назад

This boat does not seem to be thought out properly a bit ram shackle

@rtbinc2273 Год назад

Great tour - I have questions about the boat, but overall I liked it. To a great extent you get what you pay for and if this is a lot cheaper it would explain a lot of the choices made.

@FLGurl Год назад

I think that the base of the vessel is good. The only color utilized which was favorable was the tan on the seating. Hot tub is good. The hulls could be a bit taller evidence by which the water was coming over the bow. The galley should be on the main deck, yes. It would give the layout a more "home" presence. This vessel would not work well with children at all given the lack of guard rails throughout. It needs to be brighter throughout. Kind of felt like a below ground dungeon in places. Lacking an outdoor grill is not good. But like I said, the base is good. The length is suitable for owner/operator and the width definitely provides more space. Thank you!

It’s a very wet boat. I even saw water in the hold under the centre of the boat.

@brubrushanghai 10 месяцев назад

There seems to be a number of design flaws here. One of which seems to be the tv dock in the flybridge which was covered, on the internal side, with water and condensation. The driving position was not ideal either. Thanks for the tour !

@scottstewart5784 Год назад

Weird choices. Galley location. Bed on an engine. Too wide walkways. Pilot house visibility/posture. It all feels wrong.

@AbNomal621 Год назад

Not to mention the generator in the storage space under the saloon. Nothing like having noise and carbon monoxide present. But, then the comment to “use the crew cabin” for a day head. Maybe if there isn’t a crew. Crew already is treated like second class citizens without sending guests into their space.

@robertcook2572 Год назад

Home build

@hlgb2014 11 месяцев назад

Loved the soaking wet pop out tv on the flybridge as well😂

@rasferrastfarian739 Год назад

Interesting. Not my cup of tea either for layout or decor but its big and "cheaper" than its competitors as you remarked. Great tour, thank you.

@nicbennett6554 Год назад

I enjoyed the video Alex, thank you. Not a fan of the boat though. Too many parts that don’t flow, especially for the money. If I was buying a power cat, it wouldn’t be this one.

@rogergrandify 7 месяцев назад

how a bout holding up the camera so will see something beside the floor

@eddieohearn17 4 месяца назад

This is a very dark boat, but that’s the owners choice. Having spent 30 years building, various yachts, it is a particularly bad idea to utilize a sailing hall for a powerboat and I would add an all likelihood, even worse for a catamaran. They have great ideas, but they just need to start from scratch and redesign the boat properly.

@godlyobject6509 Год назад

Great tour and great presentation.

@RandomGuyRandomNumber Год назад

A berth in the engine room has to be the result of Google Translate being used on the specifications, surely ? Engine beds are mountings for the engine, not sleeping quarters for people.

@theislandsc Год назад

13:34-that looks like garbage. Terrible wire management.

@terrywalker1624 Год назад

Great tour, but don't like the boat much!

@stevefitchett6193 11 месяцев назад

Id still take the sunreef.

@stevehanke1842 11 месяцев назад

Leopard!

@stevefitchett6193 11 месяцев назад

@stevehanke1842 leopards are nice but there's just something about the sunreefs that looks better. They seem sleeker to me. Plus they come in larger sizes. Nit that I can afford either so not the biggest issue I have to worry about 🤣

@kokomo9764 Год назад

Wow! I hate this boat! I do not like anything about it, including the color. I won't go into details, because it isn't worth the effort. I will say that if you want to build a power cat, build one. Don't warm over a sailing cat and try to sell it as a power cat.

@ianscott3180 11 месяцев назад

Go back in a couple of years and see one after they have launched a few. This one does not look like the real deal.

@ralgor100 Год назад

very noisy boat. engine room view would have been nice

@ironichumorist Год назад

it is never good when a sailing cat is adapted to a power cat. to completely different designs. not a good start. the interior ergonomics need a great deal of work - particularly at the helm. cant imagine being there for 2k miles. when i also see such a massive beam yet the flybridge is basically the same size as a monohull of the same length...well thats a misuse of space. the sunken bow lounge and passthrough door are nice but thats lifted from leopard. given how when she is that front door should be dogged. and the aft of that flybridge is silly. the storage space seems excellent. nice to have a separate electrical compartment. the galley down only really works for a charter boat - not a family cruiser or a live aboard. they simply must, must, must resolve the hill slap. totally unacceptable. they still have a lot of work to do but this may eventually be a lovely vessel.

@Gustavo-dh5dx 11 месяцев назад

I totally agree with @jamesparker1455 with the cheap looking, but also the duck tape keeping the cheap laminate walls in place in the crew cabin or the uneven cabinet doors under the bed. In that range of money, which is (more or less) au$5 million you have a wide and more appealing offer...

@RA-gk5zg Год назад

Wow these comments are harsh. But after watching the video they are correct. Try again Moon, this is a way overpriced POS. A Leopard 53 at half the price is a far better catamaran.

@bunksunbound5785 Год назад

Ugly boat. Very dark interior, design seems to be form overt function. seems pointless not to have a bolster seat at lower helm, and lack of day heads is weird. As for the backlit onyx!!!

@hawkthekaratefighter2584 Год назад

1st

@Konayukiniseko2012 Год назад

I feel sea sick just watching this. Either sea trial or layout, not both

@alexsmith3945 11 месяцев назад

Yeah, sorry about that. Time was tight and the only window we had to examine the boat was during its passage from Essex to London for the public launch. Notwithstanding the obvious limitations involved in that, we thought it was an opportunity we ought to take.

@dmann7004 11 месяцев назад

Oh my… this is what I would expect to come out of North Korea. Frightening and wrong on almost every level.

@origin178 11 месяцев назад

What a hideous, boxy, lumpy machine, especially finished in steam-engine green. Inside is a 1970s nightclub nightmare throughout. It's like they took a Prestige model and then downgraded the interior! Also, is the concealed TV on the flybridge waterproof, as the inside of that lid was dripping with spray?
