I have a lot of respect for cats and trimarans, but ideally I'd want a heavy tank, with decent room, lots of food, water, fuel and a winter weather setup, also be able to be beached in the right places.

Nice tour, but no way this is going to “kill” cats. 20 tons is heavy! Especially lamenting on super-wide hull. Performance cats offer really unrivaled luxury, carbon fiber, and speeds that making ocean passages a breeze 200+ days easy! And, no heeling. Sure, they’re more expensive, but for me, the price is well worth the performance, luxury, space and ease of motion.
@@javierechevarria1548 honestly it depends. My plans, since I’m on the way to outrageous fortune, will afford me time to travel the world by ocean. So probably frequently as I have friends in Europe and plan to visit there often. But even going from California to Hawaii will take almost less than half the time of a blue water monohull. Going anywhere of any distance makes the performance a no-brainer. And, from a safety point of view, in a performance car that AVERAGES 12 knots, outrunning storms is a breeze (pun intended). Hey, I get it. Some folks love the romance of heeling and other facets of the monohull experience. I was once such a person. But I’m 59 and I prefer traveling in comfort. Not heeling over all the time. Been there done that.
Ah, the cat, mono battle and all that comes with it. Ok, so a gunboat, HH or Dazcat is going to give you fast sea miles and comfort when at Anker but depending on budget a southern wind mono will give you similar speeds for the same budget.
Regarding the cats versus mono debate - here are pros (only) for the mono in this size / price range. Cheaper initial price, cheaper and better available maintenance, cheaper and and better available haul out, better suited to sailing in the Med and eastern US where most marinas do not have cat space available, higher load carrying capacity than cats (important to liveaboards), the monohulls are more attractive aesthetically to many traditional sailors, monohulls are better suited to racing / club racing activities, monos can be more pleasing to true sailing enthusiasts with better feedback at the helm, and feedback from tweaking sails.
Finally, someone gets it;) I am with you all the way I am a mono-sailer and always will be but we will charter a cat from time to time if there are a lot of us on board. No need now with this Jeanneau 55 it has all the space we need.
Nice video good presentation. However very hard to recognize the interior with the lens in use. Maybe a wider (ultrawide?) lens might help for the interior shots.
2.55M keel not good for the Bahamas need a draft no deeper than 1.5 M to navigate those waters. That's why catamarans are so popular in that area. Or a shoal keel option if available.
The final blow, lol. Cruising cats sail by instruction manual (cause you don't "feel" the boat), for same price you get a better quality built mono that will last longer, they are hard to maneuver in marinas in strong wind (huge platform goes flying), poor performance up wind etc. In general, cruising cats take "sailing" out of sailing. They do have advantages (more space, stable platform, shallow draft) but power cats have more internal space, more deck area, are faster and cheaper. And modern monohulls with wider beams, centerboards or shoal draft keels, raised saloons, hard top Biminis or spray hoods and large cockpits offer many of the amenities until previously only found in cats. So, if you actually enjoy the sport of sailing but also like comfort, get a mono like the Jeanneau 55. If you want a floating apartment to spent most of your time at anchor, wait a few years and get a power cat with hybrid electric engines (like the xquisite). Sailing cats will be caught in between and in my opinion, will be a niche market in the future.

@brownnoise357 I'm sorry Bob! 🙂 Ironically, I got back into sailing recently after watching catamaran channels. And then I chartered a small mono, grabbed the tiller, turned downwind after hoisting the main, and felt the boat heel as it powered up and picked up speed and the weather helm pulled against me. I started playing with the angle of the main to the wind to get the right amount of heeling and thought to myself, I don't want to give this up for an oversized platform that slams on waves. I do enjoy sailing hobycats though. Cheers my friend!
@@constantinealexandrakis Weatherhelm is one of the early warning feedbacks yo get to depowerthe Sails. To me this is really important for Beamy Nonohulls with Chines and why they need a single Rudder, as best low stressed performance is obtained with the boat pretty much upright with minimum heel angle so keeping a single rudder pretty much vertical and optimised for weatherhelm feedback, and keeping things low stressed, and minimising Wear and Tear as well as Breakages.

I like chartering big Cats in the med when many of us are out to have a good time but don't really want to sail far.

@@brownnoise357 Raceboats have improved massively in all respects since 79, particularly stability / ditching the IOR rule. I have cruised for years in ex race boats. I could not stand a boat like this.
@@gordondyer4587 Frankly Racing Sailboat design had improved after 1979, but in nore recent years has gone backwards, and there is far too much Racing Stupidity that has migrated into Cruising Sailboat Design. Deep Drafts for example, that you can get away with if you stay in the Mediterranean - which many people happily do. The Total insanitybthat is Twin Rudders, and the hazards that are Mainsheet Tracks in an Aft Cockpit. Over lightweight Construction in Racing versions of models as well. Plus how many so called Cruising Sailboats have the needed protection against Termites turning your boat into their favourite local Restaurant ? As far as I can tell, there is literally only one builder of Laminated boats that makes them Termite Proof, and remember many parts of the World have Termite problems, including places I need to Sail. That Boatbuilder is Island Packet, and they'll be building my next new Sailboat. Best Wishes. Bob. 👍
Beautiful boat but I always fail to see the sense of devoting so much space to having 4 separate heads unless it's a charter. If you spend 2 weeks per year on a boat with strangers, then yes, but spending more time with close family I would prefer 1 large head with a separate shower. Only paid employees need their own space.
Visibility at the helm seems very poor. The wide aft deck would be a safety concern when heeled or rolling in heavy seas. The separate entrances seem to be thought for charter. But having a huge master, and two unequal rear cabins sounds like a recipe for jealousy on board. I would also have serious doubts about ventilation for the cabins under the dodger. That design is an easy pass for me.
as opposed to a keel? doubtful. maybe it would allow a boat to utilize a smaller, lighter keel. Then you introduce failure points. then you would need to beef up your standing rigging since heeling is one way a boat depowers and is a reason monohulls can get away with using lighter rigging. maybe having one at anchor would be good. not sure if it makes any sense while actually sailing upwind and heeled over. Those things take awhile to spool up and tacking might get a little crazy while your sea keeper is trying to lean you in to the weather
I Like the pocket doors but overall I prefer the older style saloon. I dislike this contemporary Ikea style color scheme for the interior. I prefer the warmth and richness of the mahogany/teak wood. The jeanneau is a beautiful yacht but the interior, while contemporary... doesn't do it for me 🙂
There is something to be said for real wood from time to time; it is one thing that makes a Halberg Rassy so beautiful. I think Jeanneau are working hard to change how we look at monohulls, and they are winning as space and design go. It would be good to test Sail One to see how ergonomic the cockpit is after all the mods.
@@SVTONICBoatWives a throttle handle seemed to be split on video that's why I though it could have 2 props - also it would be a really killing thing for cats ;)
@@heat3240 It's just the way electric throttle controls look, Duel engines for mono's are on their way and sorry but I am not allowed to say much on that for the moment but it's going to be a great system.
I do quite like the Jeanneaus but these new designs seem to be more of a camper van type thing. I am old fashioned and likely not a good judge lol. Very innovative though and I did like the handles. They do have a lot of similarities to the Benny Sense, which I have a similar opinion on.
I'm sure the wet heads can be changed to Dry heads on an order too, as that's really the Biggest Negative frankly. All of my Life though, far and away my Favourite Sweet Spot Size has been mid 40 foot LOA. and as they have become Beamier, they've just kept getting Sweeter, hence A New Boat Order Continues to be for the Island Packet IP 439 which has a LOA of just over 47 feet. Two Dry Heads and up to Seven Berths. If still able to Single hand a Sailboat all of the time, the IP 349 would be a belter, but a single heads ? Do any e tertauning on board, and that really is an u realistic annoyance frankly, though a Wet Head Day head could probably be fitted in somehow ? I'll have to have a chat with Darrel about that when I get to meet him tbh. Best Wishes. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤️
Have you seen recent advances in Campervan and Motorhome designs recently ? Wow, almost makes me wish I still drive (retired myself after a Prescription Medicine blew the Optic Nerve in my Right eye, and seriously damaged my Left Eye. The only Transport I have left is Sailboats or low speed Motorboats- assisted well enough by AIS Transponders, Radar, and Sonar instruments along with Waypoint Routing. I lost the enhanced vision I obtained after a laser eye operation went badly wrong, which welded the pupils in my eyes wide open, which was a real “eye opener” still, what was seen, thankfully can’t be unseen. 🤣 Best Wishes. Bob.👍⛵️🌟🌟🌟❤️
Some things I like about this boat and some things I dont. The smaller saloon, of which almost 50% is actually a galley trying to masquerade as a country house kirchen, and no nav desk. Thats a let down for me! I do like the owner's cabin ans ensuite though.
Oh I missed that. How much is it out of interest? Not that I’ll ever buy an over 50 foot Sailboat, I really like the mid 40 foot Sweet Spot size tbh. 50 foot and over and annual Costs get Stratospheric, and getting a Marina Berth if needed, can be really difficult.☹️Best Wishes. Bob. 👍⛵️🌟🌟🌟🏴
@@SVTONICBoatWives So about the same ballpark price as the Oceanis 60 then. Both Brilliant Value for money really, for a heck of a lot of Sailboat. Almost makes me think about getting a Bigger Boat. 🤔 Oops, just kidding, No Chance. 🤣 Best Wishes. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤️
Great presentation by a capable lady - Thank you, look forward to you presenting us with other styles of boats. Love from Australia, Mal & Lee 🦘🦘🦘 (subscribed)
Great walk-through BoatWives, I love your channel so don't take my critique of this boat as a reflection on you. But this boat is an abomination as configured. I thought we were over the 80s era's lust for gratuitous ego-mobiles, but here we are. Jeanneau have created yet another resort-condo boat dressed up like a club racer, useless anywhere except the Med or inside of 200 nm to San Diego. This would not even be an enjoyable sail around Hawaii, and a skipper's nightmare to prep it to get there safely. The cruising and bluewater features are all but missing in nearly 60 feet of million+ dollar yacht, save the awkward nav station under a soft dodger (whiskey tango foxtrot) which is inexcusable for a craft that is supposed to represent a flagship. I think they have missed an opportunity to at least partially redeem themselves by offering the 55 in a CC design that can provide meaningful living and utility space with headroom under the aft deck. Speaking of which: Do people really buy these boats to invite a women's sports team to tan all at the same time while under sail? Are they building a yacht or a portable beach? It's ridiculous. Is the expectation that their clientele are all russian mobsters who pay to have people partying on the boat all the time? Is it supposed to pull double-duty as a mobile brothel for human traffickers? I don't understand the need for all of these "entertaining" spaces at all. Young people with a lot of friends are not exactly the target market. So why is it built like a discotheque, stem to stern? At least they moved the helm forward. Something I can't stand on modern boats is the helm placement that puts the skipper falling off an open and flat stern, at the mercy of two chintzy lifelines. But on this yacht the decision was clearly secondary to making more places for people to lay about, glistening in the sun like tranches of deli meat in warm climates. If someone is going to all of this expense to entertain aboard a luxury yacht - just buy a proper MY and forget about sailing. Or stick to pontoon boats. I have the feeling that there is a beautiful yacht aching somewhere under there if only it could escape the identity crisis.
Regarding this yacht competing with Catamarans, sorry when dogs try to be cats it means the cats have already won. 8ft draft is a killer for most cruising locations. Its a lovely looking yacht and people who want monohulls will surely consider this one. People who want multihulls will still want multihulls.
most catamarans wouldn't compare to a 50ft performance cat, For example, you wouldn't put a Lagoon up against an Itacatamaran? The point we are working on in this video is all about outdoor living, something catamarans are famous for.
manque beaucoup d'information sur le bateau, dommage ! la qualité et les finitions intérieurs ne sont pas au rendez-vous face aux constructeurs étrangers !
big beamy monohulls slam worse than catamarans in a chop. it makes no sense to build a monohull to be some kind of hybrid or catamaran competitor. All the things monohull sailors hate about catamarans this boat tries to emulate without any of the benefits (draft, stability, safer working environment). You buy a boat for what you want to do with it, and if this boat has the things you are looking for then a catamaran should be an easier choice, especially when you can get a catamaran with 10ft less waterline but still have the same "living space". But, if having a monohull pretty lines makes one feel better about their boat then so be it. But I don't think catamarans are in any danger of being killed. Not by this boat nor any monohull.
I know, no guts, no glory, but wtf, the dinette is claustrofobic, with too small windows (and inadeguate table size); the guest of the rear rooms, must be exit (perhaps, under the rain), for breakfast. I am too old but the near perfection of cantiere del Pardo, Swan or Hallbegr Rassy, where go? I am deeply sorrow, for my so bad english grammar, my apologizes.

We will be building one; well, we are working with a navel architect and designers to produce a 43ft, a 50ft, and a 55ft. There will be DS versions available and, in the future, a catamaran. The boats will be sold off-plan to start with, and if we can reach a certain number, we will build the 55ft for a showboat and all future Patreons, etc, to enjoy. Patreon will be live soon with all the projects, etc. Then we will come to Australia so we can sail together.

Actually, I’m surprised you made it to the end of the video without passing out based on your breathing. Apparently all the ink that you have put on your body through all your tats has destroyed your circulation system. You are far to trashy to be showing any yacht of that class. But having said that, you are correct that it “reminds you of a Beneteau.” Actually, it is a Beneteau, regardless of what name is written on the side. Personally, as a Jeanneau 50 DS owner, you couldn’t get me on that piece of garbage. It is an attempted compromise with a catamaran. If I wanted a catamaran, I’d have a catamaran. And when you compromise on anything you get nothing and that is what that vessel is.
All boats are a compromise one way or another, none are perfect. I am glad you made it to the end of the video few men seem to have what’s needed to finish. Trashy is fine with me it is hard to find people who have real class and humility nowadays, have a great day and fair winds.

i like the design, but ive been on one and wasnt impressed with the quality. Good video mate! love your boat tours
It's like all the production sailboats now the interior quality is lacking. How's life on the boat mate? still sunshine and smiles?😁
@@SVTONICBoatWives very true. its great mate, eating pizza, had a few beers at lunch. fucking winning.
Use a wide angle lens so we can get a better view, please!
I think I’d have a tough choice between this and the Beneteau Oceanis 60 tbh. So Far, The only over 50 feet Sailboats that I really like. 🤔 Best Wishes. Bob in Wales. 👍⛵️🌟🌟🌟❤️
This is an excellent sailboat; wait until you see the 60.
Nice boats but no match for the Amel 50/60
@@guntherd.2005 Frankly I have Zero interest in Amel type Sailboats personally, not as opposed to them as I am to Racing Sailboats though which have Loathed with a passion since the 1979 Fastnet Race Tragedy. We don't appear to have learned much since imho. 🤔
@@brownnoise357
Raceboats have improved massively in all respects since 79, particularly stability / ditching the IOR rule. I have cruised for years in ex race boats. I could not stand a boat like this.
@@gordondyer4587 Frankly Racing Sailboat design had improved after 1979, but in nore recent years has gone backwards, and there is far too much Racing Stupidity that has migrated into Cruising Sailboat Design. Deep Drafts for example, that you can get away with if you stay in the Mediterranean - which many people happily do. The Total insanitybthat is Twin Rudders, and the hazards that are Mainsheet Tracks in an Aft Cockpit. Over lightweight Construction in Racing versions of models as well. Plus how many so called Cruising Sailboats have the needed protection against Termites turning your boat into their favourite local Restaurant ? As far as I can tell, there is literally only one builder of Laminated boats that makes them Termite Proof, and remember many parts of the World have Termite problems, including places I need to Sail. That Boatbuilder is Island Packet, and they'll be building my next new Sailboat. Best Wishes. Bob. 👍
Beautiful boat but I always fail to see the sense of devoting so much space to having 4 separate heads unless it's a charter. If you spend 2 weeks per year on a boat with strangers, then yes, but spending more time with close family I would prefer 1 large head with a separate shower. Only paid employees need their own space.
This one is set up for charter, there are other options.
Visibility at the helm seems very poor. The wide aft deck would be a safety concern when heeled or rolling in heavy seas. The separate entrances seem to be thought for charter. But having a huge master, and two unequal rear cabins sounds like a recipe for jealousy on board. I would also have serious doubts about ventilation for the cabins under the dodger. That design is an easy pass for me.
Lovely boat - great review :)
Thank you glad you liked it;😁
In love with this boat
Thank you
Groovy video, brilliant ship. You sound like your out of breath most of the time, and that is a little hard to take.
This may be really stupid, but i've always wondered if a sea keeper would actually work on a sale boat
That's an interesting idea, and something worth investigating.
as opposed to a keel? doubtful. maybe it would allow a boat to utilize a smaller, lighter keel. Then you introduce failure points. then you would need to beef up your standing rigging since heeling is one way a boat depowers and is a reason monohulls can get away with using lighter rigging. maybe having one at anchor would be good. not sure if it makes any sense while actually sailing upwind and heeled over. Those things take awhile to spool up and tacking might get a little crazy while your sea keeper is trying to lean you in to the weather
Stunning!
I Like the pocket doors but overall I prefer the older style saloon. I dislike this contemporary Ikea style color scheme for the interior. I prefer the warmth and richness of the mahogany/teak wood. The jeanneau is a beautiful yacht but the interior, while contemporary... doesn't do it for me 🙂
There is something to be said for real wood from time to time; it is one thing that makes a Halberg Rassy so beautiful. I think Jeanneau are working hard to change how we look at monohulls, and they are winning as space and design go. It would be good to test Sail One to see how ergonomic the cockpit is after all the mods.
Luxury sailing by Motel Six and Ikea.
Thats like the best design
Soooo many cushions to store when youre underway. They'll need a whole cabin.
A nice tour of the boat.
Thank you.
Does it have 2 propellers?
P.s. 230l fuel tank is too small if you ask me.
single prop and there are options for more fuel tanks if you want, but I would say 90% of these boats will be in charter.
@@SVTONICBoatWives a throttle handle seemed to be split on video that's why I though it could have 2 props - also it would be a really killing thing for cats ;)
@@heat3240 It's just the way electric throttle controls look, Duel engines for mono's are on their way and sorry but I am not allowed to say much on that for the moment but it's going to be a great system.
Show me the swim platform
I do quite like the Jeanneaus but these new designs seem to be more of a camper van type thing. I am old fashioned and likely not a good judge lol. Very innovative though and I did like the handles. They do have a lot of similarities to the Benny Sense, which I have a similar opinion on.
I'm sure the wet heads can be changed to Dry heads on an order too, as that's really the Biggest Negative frankly. All of my Life though, far and away my Favourite Sweet Spot Size has been mid 40 foot LOA. and as they have become Beamier, they've just kept getting Sweeter, hence A New Boat Order Continues to be for the Island Packet IP 439 which has a LOA of just over 47 feet. Two Dry Heads and up to Seven Berths. If still able to Single hand a Sailboat all of the time, the IP 349 would be a belter, but a single heads ? Do any e tertauning on board, and that really is an u realistic annoyance frankly, though a Wet Head Day head could probably be fitted in somehow ? I'll have to have a chat with Darrel about that when I get to meet him tbh. Best Wishes. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤️
Have you seen recent advances in Campervan and Motorhome designs recently ? Wow, almost makes me wish I still drive (retired myself after a Prescription Medicine blew the Optic Nerve in my Right eye, and seriously damaged my Left Eye. The only Transport I have left is Sailboats or low speed Motorboats- assisted well enough by AIS Transponders, Radar, and Sonar instruments along with Waypoint Routing. I lost the enhanced vision I obtained after a laser eye operation went badly wrong, which welded the pupils in my eyes wide open, which was a real “eye opener” still, what was seen, thankfully can’t be unseen. 🤣 Best Wishes. Bob.👍⛵️🌟🌟🌟❤️
Agreed and I hate it lol!
beautiful design
Thank you
Pocket doors are nice, but in rough weather will probably cost someone on board a finger or two? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Engine room ?
Great presentation
Thank you;)
Good job on the controversial click bait. When you take all the things that people love and appreciate about a cat, no mono replace it.
not so sure about that have you seen the Southern Wind 96
Beautiful boat!!
Well now. This boat won Yacht of the year. Jeanneau does it again.
Nice boat for sure, but not a catamaran killer by any means.
I don't always commute to my minimum wage job, but when I do I take the Jeanneau 55
If I’m going to spend $1 million on a boat I want the weather off me when I am traveling it’s too open it’s a nice dayboat👍🏻
What about an Amel or Allures 51.9?
hi please give wider views so many close ups of parts hard to get a feel for the boat looks sorry to be negative
The Captians quarters should have had a fold out desktop instead of the extras large drawer.
Some things I like about this boat and some things I dont. The smaller saloon, of which almost 50% is actually a galley trying to masquerade as a country house kirchen, and no nav desk. Thats a let down for me! I do like the owner's cabin ans ensuite though.
beautiful Boat, Pricetag is steep though
Oh I missed that. How much is it out of interest? Not that I’ll ever buy an over 50 foot Sailboat, I really like the mid 40 foot Sweet Spot size tbh. 50 foot and over and annual Costs get Stratospheric, and getting a Marina Berth if needed, can be really difficult.☹️Best Wishes. Bob. 👍⛵️🌟🌟🌟🏴
It is a little high for a production yacht.
Around 1 million, give or take a few quid.
@@SVTONICBoatWives So about the same ballpark price as the Oceanis 60 then. Both Brilliant Value for money really, for a heck of a lot of Sailboat. Almost makes me think about getting a Bigger Boat. 🤔 Oops, just kidding, No Chance. 🤣 Best Wishes. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤️

Nice boat... but please work on breathing... you sound like you're out of breath from "talking?" Hard to watch....😶
Engine access only from the that little companion way step???
If so, that’s just plane stupid and unserviceable.
Like many other sail boats out there, but yes access is a little limited.
You seem to always hold your camera down at the floor. No upright panorama views. Very frustrating to watch.
Great walk-through BoatWives, I love your channel so don't take my critique of this boat as a reflection on you. But this boat is an abomination as configured. I thought we were over the 80s era's lust for gratuitous ego-mobiles, but here we are. Jeanneau have created yet another resort-condo boat dressed up like a club racer, useless anywhere except the Med or inside of 200 nm to San Diego. This would not even be an enjoyable sail around Hawaii, and a skipper's nightmare to prep it to get there safely. The cruising and bluewater features are all but missing in nearly 60 feet of million+ dollar yacht, save the awkward nav station under a soft dodger (whiskey tango foxtrot) which is inexcusable for a craft that is supposed to represent a flagship. I think they have missed an opportunity to at least partially redeem themselves by offering the 55 in a CC design that can provide meaningful living and utility space with headroom under the aft deck. Speaking of which:
Do people really buy these boats to invite a women's sports team to tan all at the same time while under sail? Are they building a yacht or a portable beach? It's ridiculous. Is the expectation that their clientele are all russian mobsters who pay to have people partying on the boat all the time? Is it supposed to pull double-duty as a mobile brothel for human traffickers? I don't understand the need for all of these "entertaining" spaces at all. Young people with a lot of friends are not exactly the target market. So why is it built like a discotheque, stem to stern?
At least they moved the helm forward. Something I can't stand on modern boats is the helm placement that puts the skipper falling off an open and flat stern, at the mercy of two chintzy lifelines. But on this yacht the decision was clearly secondary to making more places for people to lay about, glistening in the sun like tranches of deli meat in warm climates.
If someone is going to all of this expense to entertain aboard a luxury yacht - just buy a proper MY and forget about sailing. Or stick to pontoon boats. I have the feeling that there is a beautiful yacht aching somewhere under there if only it could escape the identity crisis.
glistening in the sun like tranches of deli meat in warm climates.

Thanks
Regarding this yacht competing with Catamarans, sorry when dogs try to be cats it means the cats have already won.
8ft draft is a killer for most cruising locations.
Its a lovely looking yacht and people who want monohulls will surely consider this one.
People who want multihulls will still want multihulls.
Sorry, you have to work with your microphone technic. Really disturbing to listen … again sorry with this comment
Whats disturbing? if you don't explaine what the problem is we cant fix it?
Be good at anchor....safe yacht
no dishwasher, or washer and dryer...
I'll take 3.
Damn girl, what did you do before the start of the video. You breathing like you ran a marathon. 😂
You're not wrong, I was running late so had to run a few miles with a 25kg camera bag on my back. sounds like I'm about to have a heart attack😁🤩.
Not even a contender, it will never compare to a fifty foot performance cat. Just like the Moody DS, they sail like a slug and are really slow
most catamarans wouldn't compare to a 50ft performance cat, For example, you wouldn't put a Lagoon up against an Itacatamaran? The point we are working on in this video is all about outdoor living, something catamarans are famous for.
manque beaucoup d'information sur le bateau, dommage ! la qualité et les finitions intérieurs ne sont pas au rendez-vous face aux constructeurs étrangers !

@@denisroger3817 Merci d'avoir pris le temps de réaliser cette vidéo.
big beamy monohulls slam worse than catamarans in a chop. it makes no sense to build a monohull to be some kind of hybrid or catamaran competitor. All the things monohull sailors hate about catamarans this boat tries to emulate without any of the benefits (draft, stability, safer working environment). You buy a boat for what you want to do with it, and if this boat has the things you are looking for then a catamaran should be an easier choice, especially when you can get a catamaran with 10ft less waterline but still have the same "living space". But, if having a monohull pretty lines makes one feel better about their boat then so be it. But I don't think catamarans are in any danger of being killed. Not by this boat nor any monohull.
That constant breathing… ugh
The only reasonable design elements i see from this video are length 55 feet beam 16 feet 🤣 did someone really get paid to think that design up ?
I know, no guts, no glory, but wtf, the dinette is claustrofobic, with too small windows (and inadeguate table size); the guest of the rear rooms, must be exit (perhaps, under the rain), for breakfast. I am too old but the near perfection of cantiere del Pardo, Swan or Hallbegr Rassy, where go? I am deeply sorrow, for my so bad english grammar, my apologizes.
A really nice boat. Still want a catamaran. This presenter should see a doctor for breathing irregularities. Not a fun video to listen to. My Ears Nose and Throat doctor brothers (ENT) agreed. Best wishes in your health.

We will be building one; well, we are working with a navel architect and designers to produce a 43ft, a 50ft, and a 55ft. There will be DS versions available and, in the future, a catamaran. The boats will be sold off-plan to start with, and if we can reach a certain number, we will build the 55ft for a showboat and all future Patreons, etc, to enjoy. Patreon will be live soon with all the projects, etc. Then we will come to Australia so we can sail together.

Actually, I’m surprised you made it to the end of the video without passing out based on your breathing. Apparently all the ink that you have put on your body through all your tats has destroyed your circulation system. You are far to trashy to be showing any yacht of that class. But having said that, you are correct that it “reminds you of a Beneteau.” Actually, it is a Beneteau, regardless of what name is written on the side. Personally, as a Jeanneau 50 DS owner, you couldn’t get me on that piece of garbage. It is an attempted compromise with a catamaran. If I wanted a catamaran, I’d have a catamaran. And when you compromise on anything you get nothing and that is what that vessel is.
All boats are a compromise one way or another, none are perfect. I am glad you made it to the end of the video few men seem to have what’s needed to finish. Trashy is fine with me it is hard to find people who have real class and humility nowadays, have a great day and fair winds.
