Ben Knowles is the best ! No salesman’s palaver, nothing about his OWN feelings (since it’s the buyer’s that matter), just accurate info. And Ben will point out everything WRONG with a used boat (no need on this one) - how valuable and RARE is that, in a yacht broker ?
Without doubt one of the most beautiful boats I have seen and well worth the money. The care taken by the owner is exceptional and if I could afford it I would buy it in a flash!.....kudos to the presenter also, good job, clear, concise and very informative.
What a beautiful boat it is. All top quality and great deck layout as well as below deck. Would love to own this vessel and live on it for the rest of my life.
Access to the engine, despite having no internal lighting it looked fantastic, very impressive. The requirement is for an OCD owner or Captain, but it works throughout this yacht and it’s worthy of that name too!
Very nice boat. Perfect Sailboat, I would choose this mono hull over a Catamaran for taking very long trips out at sea any day. I don't trust those things you see them half sunk all over the place! I would love to see it sail. I would live on this boat. Sell everything and so long to everything if i could buy a boat like this.
Beautiful! A lot of thought went into her. Nicely rigged. I assume theres emergency egress in the aft stateroom? Id happily sell the house to live on that beauty. 👍
I could not buy that boat, I would never go to work. What a f****** sexy beautiful boat, that's me!!!! I think for the first time in seven years I'm aroused ,,how much is that damn thing??? Good rep, I like an enthusiastic person
Very nice boat, now all I need is a million to buy it and another million to fix a few things I would add. But then my wife would kick me between the legs for buying a sail boat because she will only agree to a trawler style boat at least 65 to 75 feet.
You should mention that you are not inline with the stove if cooking underway, why is the big screen tv important? I live on my sailboat for 13 years and never felt the need for a tv. What’s the height of the life line, the draft of the keel and the air clearance of the mast? Why do they think that they need a bow thruster on a 58’ boat. I thought that was the fishing tackle room. How far can you go on 500 gallons? Why are you looking at the generator and talking about the fuel filters? You said that it was a performance sailboat how much fuel do you burn per day? What’s the hull speed? How are the sails how many batons. I’m guessing $600K but you have missed a lot of technical details that those of us that have the money would like to know to see if this is a good fit for us.
Hey, all great questions! Thanks for your perspective. This is an older video and the boat has sold, but all new videos of boats for sale include a listing link with full details, specifications, and more that we can't fit into a video.
Ick! This boat is fine if you want to cruise the Bahamas, the Keys or up and down a coast, but it is absolutely not set up to be an ocean transit cruiser. The boat hull, sail plan, engine, tankage and such ship things might be capable of handling extended voyages across oceans, but the way it is set up is not! It's a toy. It is not an ocean cruiser. There is so much wrong with so many things. The dodger/bimini is ridiculous. It is a speed boat dodger. Stupid! Way too small, way to low. The bimini is totally inadequate for blue water sailing. It is flimsy, unconnected to the dodger and is going to be blown overboard in the first heavy weather experience and anyone sailing this boat in the cockpit, in weather, is going to be wet, cold and very distracted and uncomfortable. The boat is not that wide! It does not need two helms and for heaven's sake, if your going to put a bench behind the helms, put a real backrest on it. Does your car, a vehicle that rides on FLAT roads, have a flat bench with a tiny backrest that only extends to the bottom of your kidneys? Hell no. It has a backrest up to your shoulders and a headrest above that. If you are sailing this boat manually, you will be sitting behind the wheel a lot longer than you would in your car and there might even be waves. Why is the cabin taken up with a banquet table that seats ten when the crew is only going to be two to four people? It's not that big a boat. Sure, you might drop anchor in the Bahamas and invite a crowd over for cocktails and perhaps dinner, but if you are really cruising how often? What percentage of your cruising time are you going need that? Dumb! Waste of space. There is so much more. Knowles did not even talk about the sail plan, tankage, engine, draft, hull speed, winches, anchors and chain, windlass, life raft, where you are going to store your dingy, SINCE THERE ARE NO DAVITS!, or anything else about this being a boat. He is selling a (not very) mobile home. It is pretty but that is not the important part about it allegedly being blue water sailboat or even just an expensive weekend toy. Hard pass.
That aft seating station is a fantastic idea, gorgeous yacht
The aft cockpit is a GREAT idea. Love it. As well as the forward helms. HATE modern boats where you nearly hang off the transom when steering.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Maybe you should consider a yawl, that way you can lean against a mast at the helm.

Thanks for the kind words, we really appreciate that feedback.
This is by far one of the best sailboats I've seen considering it is used.
I really love this boat.. have watched this a hundred times.

So exposed. Yikes.
