Where is the poop deck popeye aways talked about the poop deck

I always thought a deck stepped mast if best for a cruising boat, because though you can't tune it like a race boat, you are safe below without a great big hole in the deck if the mast is swept away. In my albeit limited view a deck step is safety first. All my blue water boats have been deck stepped! Have I been wrong this whole time, I've never lost a mast (touch wood).

I learned to sail on a 42F in rough Irish and Scotish waters. Loved every minute of it and it felt safe and capable even in force 8+ and 4m waves. Worth noting that there are two designs shortcoded E and F. (as in 42x) The E boats are the older Enderlein longish keel designs where the F's are newer Frers design boats that sail a little better in low winds and upwind, but need more care in a blow

Wait... What? Not a word about a bidet? Scew the single ply... One or two hardly even used baby wipes can just get tossed in the trash, after letting the toilet seat bidet do its job.

soooooo... earth flat? lol

I've delivered an HR to Tortola from Bahia Mar under chute the whole way. Absolute sleigh ride.

Great Video! Hope this comment helps!

Great review. I have caught several of your videos but never subscribed to your channel. I have now ! I wonder, have you done a review on the older vintage old school Hans Christian’s that you might be able to point me toward?

I can’t wait to get started sailing

👍

Some of the best Boats built. Practical, solid, livable. We had a monsoon 31. Sweet boat. Then moved on to a Contest, but in hard competition with the HR

Has had a Monsun 31 & a 36 mrk 2, both great boat, safe,

lines to cockpit? are they short/solo friendly?

Coolest upgrade? Install a standard DST on each bow. Below the water line (obviously) and at a slight angle outwards (hull shape will do it for you) (non-networked. Standalone wiring) 2 displays at the helm. P&S You will always know where the deeper water is! I ran a 82’ Burger set up like that. So simple. Much better than FwdScan

ActiveCaptain! It’s the best!

I'm in Port Canaveral, Florida, and the Center for Corrosion and Biofouling Control at the Florida Institute of Technology has a test site where they study bottom paints. For biofouling nerds, you can see their numerous publications on their website. Their top performer Hempel X7, is used in commercial shipping but it's not available for recreational boaters. Greensea IQ has an underwater hull cleaning robot testing site on my dock, and it's interesting to chat with the folks who do the testing. Their robots scrub the bottoms of large commercial and military ships. One local fisherman swears by Sea Hawk Colorkote. BTW, Sea Hawk is now owned by industrial paint giant AskoNobel, who also owns Interlux, Awlgrip, and a dozen other companies.

We love Wally and would love to do this!

Proper boat! Ketch too!

This might sound like a dumb question, and I’m sure it probably is, as it’s coming from someone who hasn’t sailed yet but is in the market for my first sailboat; what’s with all these canvas tops? It doesn’t seem like it would be that difficult to make a hard top and it would instantly improve the look and feel of the boat. Even if it were like a cross between hard and soft, with a hard t top style covering, removable sides for visibility or like a sunroof style opening you see on non sailboats. What’s the reason for the canvas dodgers? I hate the way they look, and you don’t really have an option to not use it, so you’re stuck putting this ugly thing on your gorgeous 400k sailboat. It disturbs me for some reason.

Can someone with experience sailing blue water, how capable is a boat like this? Could you cross the Atlantic, for example? or is that just completely out of the question? Is something this size just meant for like day cruising or plotting around for a weekend or something? I could live with this boat for a long period of time, that part of the equation is not a concern to me, I just don’t know if it’s capable of doing what I inevitably want to do. I’ve heard people say 40 foot, I’ve heard 45 foot, I’ve hear 50+.

Fit a water maker and tank capacity issues for Jeanneau go away

What do you think about Gulfstar 60 from 1984 ? I have the opportunity to buy one.

Simply beautiful boats, in fact probably my dream boats. Great review too skipper! But...crewing a centre cockpit 40 [not H-R] I realise my own limitations. No way I could single hand an H-R 42 - guess I'll have to get married again lol.⚓

Great Channel!!!!

Why the deck step mast?

What are your thoughts and comparison of the HR to a Contest 38S or 42S which are well made Dutch boats?

Does the crowd understand Jib and Jigger?? Havening do it, it awesome

Oh old school Lloyds A100a cert. Awesome

simply just beautiful :)

Dread what the teak will look like on a boat that old.

A very nice boat indeed. I extensively cruised my Kelly Peterson 44’ cutter. A very similar boat. It had nearly 5’ more waterline and a knot more hullspeed. I had no significant problems in tens of thousands of miles of cruising. But have to admit, the HR pedigree is hard to beat………except for those darn teak decks!

That is a nice review of a wonderful yacht. I’ve been fortunate to sail on a couple of significant passages around southern New Zealand when my friend owned one. You’ve suggested she’d not be a quick boat, quite the contrary, in a good breeze above 20 knots she barrels along at over 10, sometimes reaching 14. And in storm force winds as we were I was amazed at how steady and smoothly she sailed. And that dodger keeps you dry. My only negative is that huge wheel for helming. It’s difficult to move past it both ways. The early point about docking in heavy winds is true, but many are fitted with bow thrusters. One feature prospective owners would want to know about too is the inclusion of in-mast furling. The interior (in my taste) is somewhat old style, but gracious. But I was struck that for a boat of her size the interior is a little cramped. Much of that space is gathered up with a dedicated engine/plant room, navigation station and heads at each end of the boat, both with a shower and toilet.

Great review! To be clear, this is the 42E. HR later made a very different 42F sloop designed by Frers (hence the "F"). Also, it's usually pronounced like "Rossi", not "Razzy."

it is a huge surprise to me that the hr42 was heavier than my vagabond 42…this boat was built like a tank…i am still scratching my head over the new hr40…she doesn’t seem to fit the part of global cruiser with her wide beam carried aft and dual rudder system…mostly wondering how she’d do in challenging following seas…but no doubt about the continued quality build of these boats…

Not a boat for the Bahamas! She draws to much. I like to enter regattas if I’m in the area at the time. Could never race in the Bahamas, spend all your time navigating the shallows under power.

My favorite sailing channel was Hallberg Rassey 54 Cloudy Bay. never got tired of watching and listening to that boat move through the water. Cheers

We delivered an HR42E two years ago from Largos Portugal all the way across Biscay and on to Amsterdam, a superb boat and a great ride as it was one of my most comfortable trips across the Bay of Biscay. Just a hot tip for you as I have had many opportunities to chat with Magnus over the years, For every new model they design he builds one for himself first so they can test all the systems and the boat, so if any changes need to be made they can before any more are built.

I like sailing and beer... and maybe 3 people. The last thing that I would want is to be part of a hoard of 10 or more boats all competing for a slip in a marina, or space in an anchorage. I have done the ICW (2020 & 2021), but I far prefer to meet people along the way. My one piece of advice to a noob; only use the inlets in the Carolinas and Georgia that are marked for larger ships.

Another great review of awesome boats

Can we have a honest review sometime on the Pegasus 50 and the Elan GT6 Explorer? Thank you!!!

Great interview and I can see the value in having a boat ahead of me with less air and water draft than my 64.+’ and 7.0’. Having a laser measuring tape and calibrated depth sounder on the lead boats would really help me given the sounding boards at many bridges are a mess.

Hi Tim have a look at Sirius yachts ... there you have a pearl. A true blue ocean cruiser.... not cheap but what a value for your money (if you have it 😳) it's worth a an episode if you care. Thanks for the great work .Felix

One my HR dreamboats. For now got to settle with Misil 2 😅

Thanks for stepping away from Catalina,and Benateu for an issue.

Thanks Tim, for sharing.😊

And just like that a CC. I thank you PS. And thanks Tim for a perfect presentation. Cheers, Fair winds

Guru of info. Ever look into the Amel super Maramu 53 ? Delos has sailed her 4 times around the planet. Brian has a great back story on why he started out with a French made boat. May be up for sale soon, building a catamaran.. Tim~ great narration ..

Thank you !

A++. Wow now that is how one makes an information filled video. If any more information can be useful it would have to have on a single boat which this was not ment to be. Great job again.
