Love the fact that you give us a whole slow-speed manoeuvring section - I can't think of any other videos that do this and it's invaluable for really understanding the ownership experience. Much appreciated Jack!
Thanks so much for showing the docking process! Particularly for an inexperienced sailor like me, it’s rewarding to see, learn, and understand the kind of attention and movement it requires.
Great boat test Jack, covered all the bases really well. Even a bit of eloquence when describing the handling of the Targa 41. Really terrific boat, tough yet comfortable, quick and capable.
What a boat! fantastic review and tour as always Jack - I actually really enjoyed the parts where you were crewing the boat, fenders, lines etc and talking us through what you were doing. could maybe film a short series on "how to" seamanship around the basics. I would find this very interesting as a boating novice looking to spend more time on the water!
Great video. So many boat videos in which the boat never moves So good to see a video where you get some idea how a boat might handle when you a puking your breakfast over the side More of these please
Great tour, Jack, and what a lovely boat. Concur with the side boarding gate location. Nice to see the marina berthing, that will alleviate some peoples fears. 👍👍👍.
Brilliant review of a very impressive boat. Love this design of boat and this or a rival will certainly be on my shopping list for our next boat. Great marina handling too Jack - that doesn’t look like an easy marina to manoeuvre around!!
Not just a great review - a little docking lesson tossed in for free. This is one of the boats I'd really think about if I get that winning ticket. You're not just reviewing yachts and helping that industry but helping lotteries all over the world. Considering the odds of lotteries - worst gambling you can do - your odds at roulette or craps are way much better - picking a good career and making some honest cash would be easier and have much better of odds of getting a boat.
08:00 there is a locking pin at the top of the door (above your head) to stop the door sliding in multiple locking places. (At least there is on the 46)
That is a nice boat, nice layout and finishes. That is a great lesson on how to dock single handed, I would not like to try that especially the turn to get in the marina. Great video Jack thank you.
For me everything of this style gets compared to the Sargo 45 video and this beats it, for me this would be an ideal explorer. A saying I like is there's no such thing as bad weather only inappropriate clothing, this targa 41 is the do all appropriate clothing, perfect. Thanks YB 👏👏👏👏❤️🇬🇧
Great review Jack. You should come wave hunting with me, i never flipping fail to find them, sadly...🤦🏻♂️ Well done on first drive into a very tricky reverse mooring 👍
Ha! When I ever I test something small and fast the weather is honking - it's the rules! Thanks for the comments re the mooring, always a bit of pressure when the drone's above. Nowhere to hide... - Jack
Speedy ability type of lady, nippy round curves. On the Fly bridge, wind in your hair, as she carved her way through the waves that you found. Love it "Targery" is the new word for a Targa 41 flying across the sea. She a Jack H boat thats for 😃 sure. A Formula 1 racing type of boat. Sturdy, stylish paint work, practical exterior. The interior love the galley area. Nice owner cabin with the teak, reasonable storage. Lovely aft cabin with useful storage and use of the day head wet room. Good size engine room which is useful as you can see the whole area. Good owner occupiers boat, for day and weekend trips. Traga done good.😊
Another great video Jack, thanks. Going forward it would be really good if you could give actual dimensions of the beds, this is of particular interest to us big blokes and the only reviewers to do this are Boattest, so please try and give us this info, thanks.
@@Yachtbuyerreally? Speed of docking? Of all the tests you could do - Encouraging gormless comments like this? Catch an outdrive leg - £15,000! Need I say more? I'm not sure you need to courage favour with "everyone". Not a great look fella! Daft comment. 👍👍
Great review Jack. Having an old 35ft Nimbus which i mostly single hand it's great to see those close quarter skills in action. Very interesting with your comments regarding the lack of Sky dock and similar systems. In a different wind, that mooring procedure could be a whole different ball game! Prepping the boat, well in advance of channel lanes is my go to, and I always set up a midship line on both sides, just in case something changes (other boats usually appear just when you don't want them to and do exactly the opposite to your wishes!) and you have to dock on a different side! An extremely capable, functional single handed boat. Great review of its qualities Jack, and i agree, a starboard entry gate by the side door would be a real bonus. I'm not sure the side deck is wide enough for an in-swinging bulwark door though. And an out-swinging one would be useless - if the dock is high!😂 So probably a different engineering solution required!👍👍
Good video... beautiful yacth...you are the best on boating...next to aquaolic ...but you are favourite...I just want if is possible if you put in the beginning the price of boats...thanks for your good job.. congratulations
I have never experienced the boat such as this (I love targas since my first boat magazine, when I was a kid). And I am wondering, are boats as this one noticeably better in bed weather / waves than same size or a bit bigger sport cruisers? 😀
Well handled Jack. It is a very tight marina in Poole. Perhaps another upgrade is a reversing camera, or even better a 360° system. It really is a cracking little boat though. 👍
Nice review! As if I didn’t have enough already to consider?? And can we chat about that marina for a quick sec? I mean, is that can opener marine? I’ve never seen a marina make a 41’ boat look like a super yacht? Geez?🙄
37:31 if you're going to spend the best of £1million on a boat (with VAT) then what is another £30k to you for the sake of the convenience and safety of a joystick system? Maybe the wrong option was chosen from the list - powder coated rails and joystick navigation do sound very similar.
It’s this simple… Popeye drives a Sargo and Brutus drives a Botnia … in real life.. if you can afford.. these two are it… if you have a million and change to burn sargo or botnia… nothing else
@@Yachtbuyer More like a specked up utility boat than a yacht. Looks nice on the outside but the inside looks very 70’s/80’s.. Great channel! Love your videos. Keep up the good work and have a great summer. 👌
@@Yachtbuyerit would be awesome if you would note the boats insulation design (if any beyond vinyl liner) and window panes/ glazing. This is amazing hard info to track down for most boats
@@Yachtbuyer Thank you and I didn't realize that.. Maybe it's the mic that amplifies the impact - every slap sounded loud, and it seemed that fiberglass would eat most of it,. unless it's just my perception. Wanted to say: Great review!
Thanks, glad you liked it! Yeah, the mic may amplify it somewhat but Targas do ride quite hard, the difference is you know they can withstand it! - Jack
That’s the point, the Wood work is absolutely superb. It’s handmade in the factory and not cheap plastic all around like on an axopar, this is real quality boatbuilding
Thanks for the review Jack! Great job as always. We are glad you enjoyed the Targa 41.
Love the fact that you give us a whole slow-speed manoeuvring section - I can't think of any other videos that do this and it's invaluable for really understanding the ownership experience. Much appreciated Jack!

Magnificent boat, with a masterclass in marina handling.
You're very kind, thanks Peter! - Jack
Thanks so much for showing the docking process! Particularly for an inexperienced sailor like me, it’s rewarding to see, learn, and understand the kind of attention and movement it requires.
My pleasure, thanks for watching! - Jack
Yeah second this on showing docking, I’d really like to see more of that including control view and drone view
The best boat ever...I want one 😊
That's a new one "Bashes them into submission"! Excellent way of putting it Jack!
Nice parking! Always nice to see a review of a boat actually being used instead of sat in a marina.
Thank you 🙏
Like everybody is saying, nice boat, and great learning experience! Thanks Jack!

At least I kept my trousers on... - J
Great handling. Well done! Awesome boat. Looks perfect to me for a family of 4+ family.
My perfect boat. Just love a Targa
LOVE the design. Normally 41s have the worst stairs to climb to the fly... I'd feel comfortable having my dog, or my nan walk up those!
Great tour, Jack, and what a lovely boat. Concur with the side boarding gate location. Nice to see the marina berthing, that will alleviate some peoples fears. 👍👍👍.
Hi , a great review , and to the point , Thanks Jack .😉👍
Great video Jack. Impressive manoeuvring. Nice boat.
Thanks 👍 - J
Perfect package for family and some friends ticks all boxes 👌

Great marina handling too Jack - that doesn’t look like an easy marina to manoeuvre around!!
Thanks Nic, it's a tricky one! It's where I learned to handle boats there, though, so have some experience at least. Cheers - Jack

😉
Great video - loved the extended driving scenes and docking. Keep up the great work guys. 👏👏🔥
Absolutely ridiculous review! Just the kind of review Targa deserves. Thank you!
Glad you liked it - thanks! - Jack

Yeah not on this one, hopefully something they’ll fit on future boats - Jack
Luckily you had the wind in right direction when docking, lol...Nice one Jack, great review of a beautiful Targa 🙂
Yes! 👀 Glad you enjoyed it, thanks - Jack
Just had a morning on the same boat, it’s brilliant in every way (and your docking was as good as Guys!)
Thanks Richard! Think of trading in the Marex? - Jack
@@Yachtbuyer if I could justify the extra £700k. Its brilliant but still love my 310
Can’t beat it…
Beautiful.

What a fantastic review! Thanks Jack 👍🏼

Great review! What’s your preference between Targa, Nordstar and Sargo around the 40ft range???
The boat pounds, even in calm conditions!
Great boat and fantastic tour. Ps. Is there a Bimini option for the fly bridge? Thanks
Thanks Joe! Yes, a bimini is an option - Jack
Absolutely amazing, more like a race car review
Thanks Peter! 🏎️ - Jack
Aesthetically pleasing boat, bit cramped in the rear cabins, to be expected i guess, thanks Jack.
Nice to see boat moving ❤❤

Great review Jack, but we all know the real hero is the camera man. Thanks for sharing.
Spot on - it takes great skill to make me look good! - Jack
Jack has the challenge of not throwing the cameraman overboard whilst still doing cool turns!
Great Docking job Jack!!!
Thanks!
here is a great idea, Jack the next time you Nick and James get together who can Dock and and line the boat the fastest
Interesting you should say that... 😉 - Jack
Got to all have the same boat to line up and park. 😊

Proper boat. Wonder if you can fit drying legs?
I believe you can, yes - Jack
This seems like the Volvo of the seas - quiet, understated, safe, comfy, and somewhat spartan, but DAMN good performance.
That's a pretty good way of looking at it! - Jack
Well handled Jack. It is a very tight marina in Poole. Perhaps another upgrade is a reversing camera, or even better a 360° system. It really is a cracking little boat though. 👍
Brilliant boat. You know you can afford it...buy me one please Jack. I live in land locked Derbyshire by the way!
Perfect for the Trent! 😉
@@Yachtbuyer No where near The Trent luckily, I'm surrounded by wee streams. Just need to 'moor' it in my car parking space and dream of open oceans!
Nice review! As if I didn’t have enough already to consider?? And can we chat about that marina for a quick sec? I mean, is that can opener marine? I’ve never seen a marina make a 41’ boat look like a super yacht? Geez?🙄
It’s a challenging one all right! - Jack
Yahoo 💥 that's some boat 👍
🔥
Re the side decks with the high bulwarks, what happens when in a sea and they take on volumes of water, do they drain quick enough?
It has open scuppers to allow water to escape the decks - Jack
37:31 if you're going to spend the best of £1million on a boat (with VAT) then what is another £30k to you for the sake of the convenience and safety of a joystick system? Maybe the wrong option was chosen from the list - powder coated rails and joystick navigation do sound very similar.
Excellent👍👍👍👍
Volvo stern drives have a joy stick option in USA. Or even Cummins stern drive with joystick system is a good system too for that jeep of the sea 😅.
Superb review sir, you should really consider this as a career😁
Nice boat, nice video 👍 what kind of drone are you using for filming the boat? My drone has a speed limit so I cant film at high speed (+25 knots)
Mavic 3 Pro, I believe! - Jack

Can you please review a yacht made for ,let’s say, the Nordic climate? A yacht for all 4 seasons.
I mean, this Targa is literally designed and built in the Gulf of Botnia… would you not consider it to be for the “Nordic climate”? - Jack
