Really…The saloon looks like an IKEA project that’s not been finished and the helm looks like a school project. I guess the cabin is better.
The website stated targets are +3000nm, 30kt, 8 people, £1.2m+
OK I'd want a master too, even so 2+4 people, fast, long-range, can bust the Atlantic, and it's FORTY-SOMETHING FEET at bog-standard CE-B prices? Looking to be a contender in the years to come, scruffy launch aside. They're also looking at 38 (inc Tuna Tower) 52 & 56 (inc Fly) versions. Will be nice to see them a few hulls down the line.
Yea, can you get much much more elsewhere...?
That's the question.
The owner of this boat will likely own 2 other boats, because they can afford it, and very aesthetically pleasing and timeless.
Love 90% of the boat. Ditch the roof rack and fill that open space with solar panels. Replace the lifelines with solid rails. Hopefully they can fit a davit for the dinghy. Anchor locker big enough to accommodate twin anchors. The deal breaker for me though is a twin bed in the owner's suite. Doesn't appear to be any way to fit a queen. That's a shame.
I loved welded aluminum boats and power cats. This is a very exciting introduction to this model. They have demonstrated an excellent example of their design abilities. With the ability to work with a prospective owner, they will do well in customizing this boat.
Surely this was a missed opportunity to create a solar-electric boat with just a backup charger/generator? All that massive engine room volume(s) could have accommodated large batteries and a generator/tank, acres of top surface for panels, and the trampolines could be replaced with solar panels too.
I don't think you will get the range out of that. Solar panels won't do much to change batteries for a boat like this.
Meh
Flybridge #YES !
The owner's cabin is gorgeous. So many cats have tiny bedrooms which spoil the whole experience
A great tour of this brand new archipelago 47 with possibly a 4 cabin layout and massive open plan main living areas. As you can look past the unfinished parts of this catamaran it morphs into a fantastic family cruising yacht. I'm very impressed with this British built boat that is affordable compared with a nordhavn or a sunseeker which are more expensive for relative the same performances as this craft provides.
The interior is horrible for a boat manufacturer in 2023!
At least they should have a tender with outboard, with davits or crane to launch it. No set up for anchor?
an interesting start. ill be looking to see how they evolve subsequent hulls. it would seem they need to refine the interior space. the "galley" is larger than the "salon". im sure they will get the proportions adjusted going forward.
If I was crossing oceans something on my must have list would be a comfy sofa
Looks like Targa made a powercat. Not a bad thing.
Thank you for taking a tour of our first-ever build. We were delighted to have you onboard Alex!
What’s British aluminum? 😂😂 is it better than spaceship aluminum??
We use Aluminium, its higher quality than the cheaper aluminum
Needs a rear hydraulic platform
Looks pretty cheap. Didn't like it.
Brilliant design power cat. Aluminium is the way to go
I would need an enclosed fly-bridge for more space. and the living area changed up...too industrial for my taste and for that money.
These manufacturers get free advertising. You would think they could keep the boat free from the looky-loos for a short time so you could film. Over 1,000 views of this at 1 hour of posting. Pet peeve of mine having to listen to loud mouth, inconsiderate people milling about while videos are being made. Just say’n.
yeah especially the asian putting stupid sunglasses over normal glasses should have edited that woman out
The helm design on this boat is quite terrible honestly
Love seeing the unfinished space
Speaking as a UK truck driver, IVECO !!
dont expect to get to far out the dock with that engine!
IVECO, It Vibrates Everything Falls Of
I deserve to be more impressed
The counter height is a VERY nice detail in the galley. As a chef I can tell you from experience it makes a HUGE difference
you never should have done a nor should Archipelago let you do a vid a boat that is clearly not ready for commercial marketing....the detailing of this cat are terrible...
When you say british aluminium you refer to British Alcan Aluminium plc or to british build boat?
Looks great from the outside and the oak wood is a bonus. On the other side a terrible cockpit design and seating looks cheap and not very comfortable.
Water maker?
Now, in mu opinion if they can REALLY keep price in the low seven figures that's massive value.
She is not yet finished but she has great potential like the idea of solar panels. I like seeing the aluminum skeleton never seen that before - interesting. Like the salon with the L shape galley and seating area near the door. The windows in the salon and cabins make the areas look light and airy and have good visibility all round.
Ok I hope the production boats have a more finished look....current example looks cheap
I have to go look at one, with the cabins protruding far into the salon, I thought there might be space or even rooms below the cabin floors?
Not bad , but , hand rail cables look cheap , should come with solar panels , needs larger fuel tanks standard , bigger kitchen sink , looks like it was thrown together just to make the show !
its a 47
It is semi custom to what was ordered
Agree about the rails & sink, assume that will be a customer decision. Solar is 100% a customer decision too. Fuel tanks will also depend on customer, the more fuel you carry the more it costs to get it up to speed, so if non-Oceanic customers are not going to ever fill those tanks why waste installation cost & hull space on them?
They sometimes do throw these boats together to make them ready for the show. I've seen incomplete cabins and all sorts. Most of your issues are resolvable through customisation.
There should be more power cats without a huge towering fly bridge.
They've actually got Devialet speakers there, there is no problem having a party there!
25 year boat tech here. LOL no thank you...
Where do you store provisions. Not in the galley.
✊️🤝👍
Where do u put the dingy?
Ocean crossing, good luck with that...........
Where's the dingy
Yacht Buoy has a special relationship with this builder and has done features on it before. They will customize this boat to,however you want. Although they claim a bluewater cruiser, I would have serious reservations about taking this into,the article or north sea conditions even though it's Cat A.
Any specific reservations? I have to say the rope sides seem like they'd feel a little intangible in a gale.
@@darthkek1953 How thick are those bedroom windows?
@@captainwin6333 I have no idea but they'll be up to CE A standards if they're rated to it. Likely strongly though aye.
@@darthkek1953 my biggest reason is it's overall size and weight. Granted they put the trampolines in to let the air escape from under the hull, but that is also a bit of weight removed from the front section. This is going to make it rear heavy, especially with toys and whatnot stuffed into those rear compartments. You get down through the Drake Passage or through the North Sea and dealing with some strong gusts and waves, I think that might bog down in a following wake, or pitch under a wave and not be able to come back if too much weight shifts forwards past a certain point. It's only 47 feet and that's cutting it a little close on the size I'd feel comfortable in going towards potential nasty seas. And granted you could have seas like glass when you go, but a anyone who has crossed the Atlantic a time or two will tell you, that can change in a minute. Literally. I'm sure it's all well amd good and could probably plow through without an issue, but I worry about the engines no being able to get you out of trouble a d then the water coming over the bow, even with a trampoline, we've all seen water stack temporarily onto the tramp before it seives out. I wouldn't want to do it and I'm the same guy that volunteered to go on a 62' Nordhavn when I was headed to Antarctica for a photography mission. People said I was nuts. The boat made it there and back though a few times.
@@clifbradley well OK but people take smaller boats over the Atlantic all the time, heck sometimes even rowboats!
Hey man you gotta remember not to say HOMELY about the inside but HOMEY cuz if it were not for AQUAHOLIC i would have thought you said it was UGLY.
Russians can’t buy no more your boats and nobody right now is have courage to invest on boats when boats can’t be confiscate
dropped on head as a baby?
I'm not going to lie, I hate it!
Million dollar boat. Has a Double bed for the owners. 🤦
I always wondered about kitchen counter heights. I am 6 2 and freaking hate counters that are too low.
fine I understand but pretty difficult for a 5'2" wife.
@@stevemyers2092 note to self... never marry a 5 2 wife.

Disability living providers regularly provide adjustable hight kitchen work surfaces ...
5 - 6'6 shouldn't be a problem ..that or a lifting floor section.😉😎🧙♂️
