Very beautiful boat -- very "Bat Cat" looking. However, I couldn't imagine doing a crossing of either Atlantic or Pacific on that unprotected Fly-bridge. No discussion of systems -- engines, generator, water maker, access to mechanicals, no solar, AC/Heat, plumbing? Wiley not your best review, IMO -- you seem to be walking around a museum, rather than selling the complete package/systems.
I know NOTHING about boats. But from this walk through it look like the boat (cat) could only be piloted from the fly bridge. So on rough seas crossing the pacific at night in the rain it looked like you would be totally exposed to the elements. Plus being up that high you would really get thrown around by the waves. That's what I took away from this video. The back platform lowering down was super cool.
You use carbon fiber for stiffness. Contrary to popular belief fiberglass is stronger than carbon fiber but it flexes more. it is a shame s2 glass sells at such a premium. i think that is due to military and aerospace usage for radar domes.
Cruising boat? Sit out in the weather on the bridge deck day and night. Where is the inside helm? Designers should take a trip on a boat, before designing useless shit.
Everybody complaining about helm exposure, yeah OK, ancient debate. But no helm seats at all? Not even a leaning post unless you want to lean on a hydraulic winch? What a super strange setup!
Why don’t you ever show the engine room? I guess the engines take are of themselves. No need to let us know how much room we get for maintenance, is there a generator or water maker? Also are there screens on those gigantic windows. I also wonder about the port steps cutting into the walking area, walking forward around the island .
David Seal, who is a highly successful yacht broker and YT'r said that smart brokers purposely avoid showing engine rooms, crew quarters and purchase prices and for good reason. They know fully well that they can generate more interest (inquiries and ultimately Sales) from 'qualified customers' if they firstly fall in love with the boat. They do this by just focusing on the wow factors rather than cloud judgement with too much technical information. This is why the walkthoughs, from their standpoint, are more like teasers than informational. Is it annoying? Of course it is. But it works. Wiley once posted a video basically trashing trimarans and that they are POS but here he changes his tune. It's really about the money.
As stated, the "freezer"bridge makes this a high end coastal cruiser. It's a beautiful boat but with their manufacturing skills, the inverse design could be more pronounced for additional cabin space, a "double-decker" making the fly bridge a Dodger and better storage with its center boards would make this a dream blue water cruiser. It's always fun to dream. Also, it's better to have actual boaters do the reviews. Salespeople just want to make every design feature seem like it's perfect.
Considering sailors cross oceans in 25 foot boats, this boat has more space than any sailor would ever need. Stop adding unnecessary weight to sailboats. If you want a floating condo, buy a powerboat
Technically, it's a longeron not a bowsprit. In reviewing this cat it would've been informative to talk more about the design difference of the stiff carbon longeron replacing a conventional forward cross beam and bowsprit, since it's a pretty big difference to the usual cat setup....
You could stand watch on the nav station in the saloon and go to the helm only when you need to do something. I bet there's plenty options to enclose the helm station if you want to.
Wiley Sharp Catamaran Expert I bet if they dropped the upper helm 2 feet they could keep the back open and drop the hem station and enclose it with a moon roof and a sold glass enclosure all in the same space and keep out the weather! I do like the centerboards though great Idea! u can use them to push u off a beach too!
Buy a Sunreef or Lagoon 60, this boat is junk. It looks good but it’s out of place all over the boat, a 60 cat should have at least 4 cabins below with 4 queen berths minimum. And on one side it should have a crew bunk. So yes it looks beautiful but it’s lacking in crew space and berth size.
@@catamarancentral I used to be a fan of oyster yachts until I found out they only go 9 knots. Imo that’s too slow even if it looks beautiful inside, like they do. I’m now a fan of Outremer catamaran, they can reach speeds of 30+ knots in a good wind but mostly average around 23-25, (So forget what I said about Sunreef and Lagoon) my latest fancy is the 55. Then the Excel 15. This boat looks nice but they have a ways to go with it, but I like what they’ve done so far, it looks like future models will function better.
Alot of people commenting on the zero protection on the flybridge. Is the model on the coffee table not a model of this boat? I don't have the best eye but it looks pretty similar to me. And you can see the model with a roof over its flybridge. Maybe its not the biggest or best cover, but it looks like it would work. Unless for some reason that model is of a completely different boat.
Damn, Wiley! I think I am in love. I see love can cost a bit... I would only need about 2.5KW of solar... batteries to match (yikes, that's money!), a few wind generators and maybe two hydro generators. I bet that baby can sing, sing, sing and sails down the waves like a dream, like a dream, like a dream!
Forgive my profanity, but that thing is sexy as FUCK! Nicest looking cat I've seen. Very spacious, and fast too. I'm in love. May I recommend you get a wide angle lens? The field of view always seems so narrow.
Flybridge can be real problem when you are on long passage.also no cockpit is very down side and giving access to fly bridge from middle of the cockpit killing the view. Otherwise very good looking cat
Not so sure this layout is right. It looks good on paper I bet. The concept of open spaces and those sliding windows and the rear access to the salon is wonderful, but that built-in sofa idea has to go OR you need more free standing furniture. Even though the boat only sleeps eight, you need dinning for 12 and seating for 24. That would be accomplished by pushing the entire galley forward with the NAV station to the side. .....and why you might ask? Because the party ALWAYS ends up on the Cat.
one thing I have noticed on the 50 and this one is the cheap upholstery brand new cat and its all rickles if you are making million$$$ plus boat make sure everything is top notch my wife would never want it just looking that seating area could improve on the gally
Too bad they haven’t caught on to S-glass fabric yet. Much of the benefit of typical carbon fiber fabric but with better modulus and far less issues with metal corrosion, and lighter with better characteristics than E-glass across the board.
Crazy , E Glass originates from Electrical Glass not actually for composites , S glass is Structural and better flexural modulus curve , especially at UTS...................... Similar with Vinyl Ester vs Epoxy. Too much hype and not enough Engineering. Dont post-cure Epoxy and could be worse off than a Polyester
Thanks, McConaghy is trying! Don't like the fly-bridge (period), as a boom that high increases windage, lay-out is so so, saloon is ok! Center-boards are a good choice IMO, especially when sailing the southern ocean one wants sturdiness, which is more important than speed.
Awesome moulding work and exterior finish, top class, interior joinery a big let down, square edged "Ikea" type paneling & cheap look fabric paneling - quick and cheap.
Wiley Sharp Catamaran Expert Thx for your reply, I still say they could have done better. hard corners in a yacht isn't good. The trend to Ikea type paneling isn't my choice, there are lots of other builders doing the same, for years now, production line fine trim isn't that expensive if a joinery shop is set up.
Wiley Sharp Catamaran Expert He does have a point there should never be any sharp edges in a boat all rounded off and why don't all cats have naval drop abrs in the descending passageway?
I'm not a big fan of the "condo-maran" fly bridge boats, but that boat looks like she will scream!! What a great open layout. Awesome flybridge...and of course a few quickpano's to boot :)
Would be nice if you didn't give a "Play by Play" of the boat. Everyone can "SEE" what's on video. Just film and give a rap up at the end. You can always just list the spec's in description and focus on filming= which sells boats to people who are in the market.
@@fsoileau - or 4x, depending... performance is not just going fast - it is a safety feature. Also, it looks very solid, so it can take some stress. Not sure how well carbon fiber does in the marine environs or saltwater, yet it is very strong and sturdy over time. boats do cost a LOT, then you have to pay for all the up keep, maintenance, consumables and even the repair. I mean you an sail to exotic destinations, then pay people to fix everything that breaks! Still a lovely, solid, fast, awesome boat!
Fantastic boat, performance orientated for fast & easy passage making I'm liking alot... Upon arrival though, the lounge doesn't work for me... what you all sit shoulder to shoulder and look at the side of the centre Island wit the captain holding court on the L shape?? Large galley but where is the convivial crowd going to sit & eat? Have to wait until a forward Galley model gets launched - then I'll be looking at the ultimate machine. Waited long enough to view this beautiful thing as is, can wait a bit more for the best to come.... I've seen the MC50 test sail, 15 knots in 15 knots wind, mmm - can't wait to see a test sail in some weather and these things kick their heels.!
For those that are curious E-glass is NOT a fancy way of saying fiberglass. It refers to the use of epoxy for the lamination of materials instead of Polyester resin, which is also used when building boats. The choice of epoxy is probably related to the fact that you cannot use polyester with carbon fiber. Maybe you should stick to drinking beers, eating wings and shooting stuff.

Glad you found it helpful!
Very nice job, Wiley. Very nice cat. Thanks for sharing.
only Gunboat knows where to put the helm
$2.1 million
If I could only break the habit of having to eat then I could use that money for the new boat too.......

why would even buy a house.
