Totally agree with you. Had the same thought in the description. Basically, if I were choosing a monohull I would go with either a really sporty cruiser (reviews hopefully coming in a couple of months) or full-blown comfortable go-anywhere cruiser. And in the second category I haven't yet seen a boat I liked as much as the Sirius. Ok, maybe a Garcia, but that's it
Great video... Wow for such a small boat it has a fantastic layout for usability and design. The engine room in a 35 is amazing.. nice work I can't wait to see what's next... cheers
I missed this review the first time around, when first looking at the range of Sirius Sailboats, which I like a Lot. Particularly the Shallowest Draft Twin Keel options, and the Jefa Single wheel option. A couple of things still Concern me with the 35 DS, as I'm trying to find whether what I need can be fitted in. Enough Diesel Fuel Capacity, enough House Bank Battery storage, and getting enough Water and provisions Capacity part of which may be addressed with a Watermaker, I'd still like Sprayhood protection over the hatch and companionway, to connect to a Bimini and a Rear Cockpit Solar Arch, and I really don't like Main Sheet fixings in a Cockpit. The other, and I think fixable issue is the sweltering Greenhouse effects that impact most Deck Saloon Designs, without being forced to resort to the installation of Air conditioning. Webasto Heating is fine, but it has to be one or the other, and fans should be able to cope if there is enough internal Hull Volume with a Boat, and I don't think the 35 DS has it. This absolutely Sucks for me because the amount of Acceptable Compromises boxes the Sirius Boats tick is actually phenomenal. Twin Keel Drying Out capabi,its alone, can be a massive saving on full checks and servicing haulouts being unnecessary is so huge for me, as I like a minimum of one annual haulout anyway for important checks and servicing by an engine manufacturer's Agent for example, effort put into finding other work around aren't wasted. A bigger Cockpit Table is needed for more comfort at Anchor, for example, should be able to be sorted. Torsten and Sirius are great people, and the video you made has ensured they get the first shout at an order from me, but it may have to be a 40 DS, which Likely wrecks the budget of my piggybank when it arrives. Fingers Crossed and thanks again for one of the best Sirius 35 DS reviews. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️
Wonderful boat! And yes, almost a 41 foot boat in a 35 foot hull but unfortunately at the price of a 45-footer... What was the price on display at the boat show?
I'm very impressed with the size of the engine room and I like the helm, but I would want the screen higher up, or preferably two 15 inch screens that display everything I need to know very clearly. And where is the compass? It should be lower and next to the wheel. And where are the batteries located? They need to be in a highly accessible place and very neatly arranged. And the tanks are way too small! The very small size of the tanks makes the boat suitable for island hopping only, definitely not "blue water". You're in the right direction, you just need to adjust your designs a bit. Overall a very beautiful boat that needs tweaking, but the size of the engine room is absolutely great!! Definitely keep that!! The nav station is a bit too small as well, but it appears very comfortable because of the nice and large seat. Just wondering, how thick is the boat's hull?
you can actually steer the wheel from the inside just using the autopilot. it's just a matter of taste if you want to use the small control or an actual stearing wheel. great review btw, i think this is one of the best boats ever build in it's size. not sure if i would take it to the carabean or hot weather areas tho. what do you think?
@@parttimecrazyboats5468 yes, they explain the system in more detail on this video " ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9xe53AsY9dI.html&ab_channel=SiriusWerft " at around 23 minutes 00 seconds :)
If you want to know why a bow thruster is completely unnecessary on the Sirius (no matter which one you choose), please take a look at what the shipyard manager of Sirius nut does with the rudder and the engine in a very confined space. It starts at 28:49 (see link at the end). Before that he gives a tour of the boat. But the really spectacular are the skills of boat and shipyard boss when maneuvering in confined spaces, simply worth seeing! Link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y-v-h50KZgM.html Edit: Found another video that is directly about the maneuverability, so you don't need to fast forward: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dTpc9OkBigI.html
@@parttimecrazyboats5468 Yes, a bow thruster is offered as an option. And it has, depending on wind or current conditions quite its justification (and I would also always order it when I would buy a Sirius), but I also just wanted to point out that you do not really need it in "Sunday sailing weather". In addition, I find it really amazing what the boss of Sirius does alone with the rudder and the engine, really impressive!
They are highly configurable but from what iv seen it seems like your spending 200k-300k. They have an entire sheet about price and how it can change, check their website.
Luckily you haven't hear my Spanish... yet... But it would indeed be fun to get a vocal coach and start voicing the videos in proper British English... or an Ausie accent.
all the sharp hanging down edges in engine room, main cabin - very dangerous...feels pokey and not much space - too square in shape inside - don't like this one
This is something I dislike a little. You don't have this larger open space on a Sirius. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's a genius design, I just miss that piece of space with a level floor you get in a more traditional saloon.
Well, I'm just telling you what I feel. After seeing hundreds of boats everything becomes "same old". It's not easy to be excited. But this boat excites me! I stand by it.
