What is the air draft (bridge clearance) for Sargo 45 model? I can't find the air draft spec in your review, is it suitable for inland europe waterways such as in france, thanks
Pilothouse doors,safe comfortable excellent bow seating,and also very important feature overlooked by most builders is the extended aft hardtop .Totally awesome boat!
Your reviews are very well done. Narration is very nice, filming and editing...sobre, factual and accurate. And that boat. You really gave me the wish to spent time onboard 😄
I have looked at boats for a fair time and this for the price and practicability is excellent it does the job for me and will seriously look into this.
I am binge watching your reviews. I'm not particularly interested in boats - aviation is my hobby. However, your production standards are so high, that I really enjoy watching them! Terrific knowledgeable presenter, perfect camera work and editing. Bravo!
Definitely need a bigger sea review of this boat! Looks amazing but concerned it may be a bit high CoG compared to other Finnish boats. Also an update on the flybridge option that is supposed to be coming out. Also, do we know if they have plans for outboard engines? Torque would probably be a challenge but seems like everyone else is doing it…
Now if I had the money that would be the boat I would want, perfect size as a daily driver so to speak, live aboard and explore! Thanks for showcasing this beauty
If I had a million I would hang up my sails tomorrow and buy my first ever motor yacht. As retirement time is here I could spend months in the Baltic or Eastern Med on one of these. When you see dayboats at one million plus this seems like a well priced proper yacht. Sadly, if I was to sell my ageing Beneteau, I might get the price of a Seakeeper for one. Loved the video and I hope we can see one in more challenging conditions one day.
Another big plus on this boat is the foward seating arrangement to comfortably seat 4,a lot of new boats out there have ONLY captains double helm seat which is fine if your with your mate on a date,but kinda cruddy if with your buddy,like on the marquis 40 by carver or the new 41 nordhavn and many many more that are really designed for dockside entertaining only
Lots of good ideas, however things like the raised storage in the cockpit to “put shoes or storage” is never gonna get cleaned (why most don’t do it) and the flip down foot rests at the helm seating are gonna break quickly, the little hinges won’t hold much weight be inevitably will. The use of all the gas struts to hold open windows etc will give out pretty quickly, as will the little arm rests at the dining table. The folding lawn chairs in the cockpit will wear out/mark/scar/eat up that finish on that deck quickly and they look chintzy for a £1,000,000 and decking is costly to repair or replace. The lifting mechanism dining table will wear quickly, and the fabric on the cushions, though looking beautiful, will wear quickly, tweed is not a durable seating material and will stain quickly from the inevitable spill (it’s a boat. There will be spillage). A leatherette or similar material would be much more practical, look great and spills won’t be an issue. The carpeting in the staterooms is a huge mistake (yes, I know, it’s snap in/easy in/out) the snaps inevitably foul, the carpet is hard to clean/traps dirt and hold moisture no matter how diligent you are in tending to it. A hard surface (real/synthetic) is a much better choice. The wood paneling, finished fiberglass walls are top notch, beautifully finished and make the spaces really feel luxurious and the light color gives it a sense of more room than what’s there, fantastic job. The engine room is a master class on accessibility/function and will make servicing a breeze, and when it’s time to repower you won’t need a chainsaw to get to them. The tv is in an awkward position and needs some sort of assist mechanism and at 32 inches is well undersized due to the distance from the seating area. A larger on in a televator in a bulkhead would be a much better option.
The boat is beautiful only problem I see is the Volvo 650 engine which here in Melbourne Florida the marina either send them out to be rebuilt or replaced due to heavy engine where strange that he’s replaced three within the past 15 months in Florida. The video is well done, and the boat looks beautiful. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@jonnenne there currently isn’t a flybridge version of the Sargo 45 but as the other models in the range all have fb versions it’s likely they will do one for the 45
Very cool boat (nice review), just can't think of a use for it (smuggling? Probably not--I hear that's illegal ). Guess I'll look for the next step up.
Hi Jack, great tour as always, got a few questions for you. If you had sterndrives fitted would you still be able to opt for the joystick system also if you were ordering one of these would you have sterndrives or IPS and why? Thanks 👍
Yes, you can have the joystick with sterndrives but in my experience it isn’t quite as smooth as IPS, though it’s a lot better than it used to be. I’d personally go for sterndrives as you save a few quid and I prefer the handling. Plus you can trim them up in the shallows - Jack
Nice boat but it’s noticeable how much the prices of new boats have increased the last 5-10 years.. way more than inflation etc. Finnish and styling on this one seems nice but maybe not top of the pops.. personally I would choose a sport cruiser in this size any day of the week. For a more commuter type of boat like this I would choose a 30 footer
What are you actually using such kind of boats for? I mean I understand the usage of 40-50s sailboats, smaller boats like bayliner. But what is the usecase of such size ?
I find it curious that these reviews never take boats, especially these Scandinavian makes (Sargo, Botnia, Arctic), into rougher weather. I mean theyre built for it aren't they? Clearly any boat is going to do well when the water is calm. Otherwise, it's a treat to finally see this boat come to fruition. Love Sargo!
@Yachtbuyer true, I sailed Stockholm to Helsinki via Mariehavn 2 weeks ago. The Baltic was completely glass calm with just a bit of fog on the return.
My country has high humidity, so I would like to install two or more air conditioners. Also, I want to go to a remote island, so I want to add more fuel tanks. Do you have that space?
your speaking volume is a bit on the low side compared to the rest of the sounds in your video. Find myself constantly turning sound up or down depending on what part of your videos I watch. Lovely boat though, one of my favourites in a long time.
I have been debating the same. I like the targa's use of more wood (i really like the rails), the master has a proper separate ensuite and it has a flybridge which is nice, but the sargo's layout is better i think, it has the bow table area, has a proper (semi) walkaround master bed not an infilled V, and the lack of a flybridge means you have plenty of space for roofracks/solar/windows. Also i prefer the more "permanent" feel of the cockpit on it instead of the moveable furniture one on the targa and its fully covered/shaded (but it's smaller, or just looks that way). All in all my money (meaning lottery, or very rich wife with a working-class-man fetish) is on the Sargo 45.
The concepts are a little different imho: Targa puts the wheelhouse further to the bow resulting in a master+ensuit compartment separared from guest sleeping areas. Compared to Sargo the Targa then has the guest cabin access at the wheelhouse's back. Though, Sargo's access under the copilot seat is smart. Sargo also seems to have a few very smart storage gimmicks, e.g. around the aft area. Personally, I would prefer Targa. But not because of mentioned points. More because of the more classic style. The style btw is very different between them.
Hi mate i love your show. Decided targa 46 is my fav. However on this vid the opening coordinates aren't accurate i think.... further i cannot find a place in finland called Nauvo.... correct me if wrong
someone needs to invent fenders that can connect together to make chairs or something useful once you cast off. or built-in ones that can automatically inflate? this may be a 1st world issue but it needs to be addressed!
Hi sir I'm glad to see your vlog it was really good and beauty at the sea .. can you help me to build a boat I use to fishing a tuna at the Philippines can you help me sir ❤️
I disagree. First of all it's a coastal explorer and not something you'd take over the Atlantic and there's fuel along the coast... Even so It will take you from Helsinki to Stockholm and back or almost from Seattle to Alaska without refueling. Also that's at planing speeds. At 7-8 knots which is normal for displacement explorer yachts range will be tripple that.
@@pain_weaver Read again... I said going AS SLOW AS a displacement yacht this yacht would have a much longer range than the specified rage which is traveling at planing speeds.
@@BilldalSWE I realize that I was multitasking lol. At 8 knots that would put rpm at a very comfortable level sipping fuel. Most people don't understand fuel consumption curve goes up exponentially with rpms. Let's say theoretically your running the diesels at 2k rpm. And you reduce rpm down to 1200. That small drop in rpm can mean huge gains in fuel economy. Each boat is different along with the motors. But the principle is the same. Sure going fast is fun but.... if you plan on actually exploring slow n steady is best bet. I am curious of the actual economy of that hull at 8 knots speed. If this one gets on plane at 15kn I wonder if it would be better to actualy cruise at 15 knots.
