    We can only apologise for the sound issues on this video. We have given the photographer a stern talking to and he has assured us it will never happen again.

      A stern talking? 😂 not that big of a deal tbh live and learn

      Do it also for video focus, he needs training before doing production. Regardless content is top as always!

      I mean the fact you've got a photographer doing videography say's a lot... should probably hire a videographer!

    It's always a little funny these reviews, when they say you can stand up inside the boat, like it's a previlage for a half a million quid.

      These boats are a joke for the price. 5 yr old 47ft yachts extreamly nice condition can be bought for $300,000 they loose value worse than a car

      @@Alex-kp2db 5 yr old 47 ft for 300k? i can't imagine that being anything noteworthy. perhaps the best would be a beneteau.which isn't a luxury boat

    Awsome boat🤩 but i would go for a Sargo 36 it’s fast it looks awsome and it’s big enough! It’s like the Porsche Cayenne on sea

    You need to improve the sound quality in these videos. Nobody wants to listen to a mono channel, it should be stereo sound

    Nice review but I’m not a fan of this particular boat, looks too much like a floating greenhouse.

    Hi Jack. Apart from the price, this offers sleeping for 6, all weather saloon, great visibility, a safe practical boat. Thanks 😊

  • @markperrins9485
    @markperrins9485 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great boat. The choice these days for new boats is extensive I feel. I wonder if the C11 would do ok with a single engine 370 which would be my preference. Or perhaps a larger engine.

    Half a million pounds for a shower stall "of sorts" to expensive for my tastes and pocket. Enjoy the videos though, but I'll stick with my sails.

    I was enjoying the tour until he went downstairs. Dark brown wood just like in my granny's house all those years ago. Really though who has 1970's furniture at home. Needs to modernised below especially for £450,000.

    Spartan boat
    Designed , perhaps , by a carpenter.....
    The rails are unsafe, the transom is seethrough etc.
    Great for pilot boating and rescue
