Tough new powercat for serious off-grid adventure | Vandal Explorer sea trial review | MBY 

..with a single cabin

@@TheShepTV And a million Euros?

220nm at 35kts. You need to learn how range works.

@@MrSilus2000 And you need to learn how to read. In the description it says 215nm at 12.8 knots. Even at displacement speeds you’re probably looking at ranges in the mid three digits, which is basically nothing compared to other boats that actually fall into this „explorer“ category

@@TrolloTV That’s obviously a typo.

I guess you missed the part which was repeated countless times: you can spec it how you want. Overall this isn't a boat who's mission is to pack as many cabins as possible per foot of length. There is more to life than the two first spec numbers...just like how there is more to cars than how many seats you can cram per foot of length at low as possible price. Do you know of a similarly lightweight, customisable as well as tough, long-lifespan 46 ft cat which would be better in some way? Genuine question. A much heavier 'plastic' boat is not comparable. Aquila 44 Yacht's dry weight is 16 tons, fully laden 22 tons, while this Vandal Explorer is reported to be 10.6 tons half load, 11.4 tons "full normal load". Aquila's top speed is 17 knots, and is only fuel efficient at extremely low speeds...you have to be going under 10 knots to be as fuel-efficient as the Vandal at fast cruise. A "more spacious" GRP boat is a much slower, heavier tub in comparison to the far faster yet efficient Vandal. Made for different purposes. The Vandal will probably last decades longer too. A single-hull GRP Axopar 45 XC Cross Cabin weighs 7 tons without the 3x300hp engines...and is hardly comparative in space as the catamaran, so you'd have to really pick a far longer monohull for comparison. According to what Vandal and Axopar report, these two boats are approx the same speed, have the same range, and have the same fuel burn per nm... I'd say that's a pretty big win for the Vandal.

@@pistonburner6448 thanks for yet another random rant on the internet, we def were lacking those.

@@abhishekparmar6702 Absolutely not random, absolutely not a rant. You seem to be lacking in intelligence, education and upbringing to write such a lowlife reply to someone who has commented 100% on-topic and with that comment having been very well considered from all approaches, being overall very well thought out, and having clearly laid out argumentation to back up each assertion. My reply was a textbook example of how to debate or have conversations on a subject matter. If you have a problem with something that I wrote then you are welcome to attempt to properly point out which argument you are trying to shoot down, and give clear and proper counter-argumentation. But you seem to have a few screws loose and severe issues so I won't be expecting anything but purely bad behavior from you.

A famous designer and "a few friends of his develop a boat"...we've heard that story so many times before: the first thing you know is they're only selling these as a hobby so the price will be astronomical. Their main focus was making a few boats for themselves, and if they can get a few bucks back by finding a few buyers they thought setting up a website doesn't cost much... I'm not blaming them or saying that's wrong btw. Having said that, which boat offers more for less? Actually come to think of it, for what this boat offers, if the boat you buy is a bit less of a 'prototype look' than these examples, it doesn't seem bad at all?

And the galley. Which consists of a two burner gas stove, a sink and a few eskies. A very unfunny joke.
