The killer advantage of the Aventura is a beam under 20 feet. In Europe this widens the marinas and haulout possibilities dramatically! The practical benefits are huge.
@@navalgazingatcampdavid in the UK. 20 feet is widely available. Anything more is tricky. There are a couple in the Solent that are bigger. Some of the multi hull yards get a crane in but that's a once a year job. You may need to have wash down more frequently to prevent the hull looking like a flower bed. On the continent I suspect France has wider hoists. But not necessarily where and when you need them! I would be interested in hearing from others on the topic.
Obviously I watched your video because I saw something somewhere else about the Aventura 37 and couldn't believe the price point! I've sailed on a 38' catamaran for about 900 miles and coming from a monohull background, was impressed mostly by its performance! Eleven knots downwind will do that to a person. I own a Catalina sailboat here in Southeast Alaska and am recently retired, but I've been racing sailboats for 30 years and have done several passages of 900 miles or more as crew for friends. It's a unique experience sailing here, due to the cooler weather and unpredictable winds. Plus, the water is cold and you don't wanna go overboard. It can kill you. A friend of mine sails a monohull out of Norway, across the North sea and I recently saw a video of his where for the 2nd time in a row, his new top-down asym furler caused him issues. After watching the video, it looks like the leech and the luff can overlap sometimes if one of them gets backwinded, and can jam up the rotation of the furler. I think he was sailing solo and just didn't keep a bit of tension on the spinnaker sheet. Plus, he tried to fly it in about 18 knots of wind, but even at that, if it's not 'properly' furled, these top down furlers can cause problems. I have an asym in a sock and have never had an issue getting it back into the sock. My sock has a large throat on it (I've seen others that had a smaller throat and that seems to cause issues if there's a twist in the spinnaker inside the sock). The only time I've had an issue with it was while deploying it while single handing on a race, where once the sock was fully hoisted, the spinnaker wrapped around the forestay (I wasn't at an ideal angle to the wind because it was a bit rough and it was moving the boat around a bit. If I'd had someone on the helm instead of the autopilot, wouldn't have been an issue). Took me an hour to undo it! Either way, in heavy weather, if someone hasn't gotten their spinnaker down in time, an issue with a sock or a furler can ruin one's day. I've seen people rip their sails and have it fall in the water and wrap around their rudder, so a prudent skipper would get the spinnaker furled or stowed at the first sign of increasing winds. Good video. I enjoyed your Dave score. Nice way to judge $$ vs value. I would encourage you to practice reading your script (at the beginning of the video) before you record it. In broadcasting, we called it 'pre-reading', and it should be done out loud until it goes smoothly! Starting @ 1:30, there were a few words you stumbled over (it happens) until about 3:05 or so. Also, if you can purchase a wireless lapel microphone, it'll help with the audio quality. The room you're recording in is large and has an echo and if you're using the mic on your camera, it's picking up both your voice AND the bit of an echo. Also, the 'flying Star Wars banner at the start of the video goes by so quickly, I had to pause the video the read all of it. If you can slow that down a bit, it would look better. People who produce videos tend to feel the rate at which text comes on and goes off the screen is 'just right' because they know what the text says, but those of us who've never seen the text before are trying to read it, so give us a bit extra time! I've been a professional broadcaster since I was 15 y.o (am retired and 63 now) and am perhaps a bit particular about content but I think my suggestions would up your content quality a little! Otherwise, good info and insight into this catamaran and how it stacks up against others!
Hey Wade. Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment and offer some much needed advice. I laughed when I read your note, because I just got back from BestBuy where I purchased a YETI X professional multi-pattern mic. ( read it on the box). The wireless mic’s I was using kept cutting out. But by bit we will make this better! Loved your points on the top down vs sock. Thanks again!!!
@@navalgazingatcampdavid Cool about the new mic! I guess this was the first of your videos I've watched and wouldn't you know it, I watch the one where your mic is broken! Figures! Yes, the spinnaker info comes from many moons of racing and sailing. I get to do some long distance coastal sailing with friends now and then, and have been racing/sailing in Southeast Alaska for 30 years. When the wife retires in a couple years, I wouldn't mind buying a 38' cat on the east coast and then doing the Bahamas for awhile, so I'm kinda window shopping right now. I too have a TH-cam channel you can check out. It's kind of unorganized but there are some good drone videos I've been doing that showcase Juneau, Alaska, and some sailing videos you might enjoy. I did a trip down the US west coast last year but haven't put together the video yet. I also did a trip across the gulf of Alaska, delivering a 42'powerboat from Juneau to Valdez, Alaska and have yet to put that video together. Here's one from a 4 day trip I did in 2020 to Tracy Arm, a 20 mile long fjord about 40 miles from here: th-cam.com/video/Luus6pXphl8/w-d-xo.html
Hey Christopher. Thanks so much for watching and for your VERY kind words. I can hardly wait to see their new 45S. Sadly, they will be adding models between the 37 and 45 before adding a 50S. I’ll just have to be patient. Lol. Thanks again!!
@@navalgazingatcampdavid I’m still figuring out this TH-cam message system. It’s strange….. anywhooo you’re welcome you deserve the praise. I’m looking to purchase a catamaran sooner rather than later but goooodness it’s tempting to wait around for the 50s. Do you have any idea how long the wait could be? Years??? Take care….
@@ourstarsRstars Hi Christopher. They indicated that they will be doing a model between the 37 and 45 first and that the 50 will be 5 years or so. Ahhhh well. Thrilled you are enjoying the channel. Ask your wife to drop a positive comment about the live aboard life for my Sylvia SVP. many thanks.

i like this catamaran. on april i go to test him on waves(charter). In your opinion, there will be a big difference in feeling between it and a 40 Lagon catamaran? I have a sailing yacht 36... Looking for a yacht that will rock less in the waves (especially while standing) because I take fishing trips every day.
Hi Alex. Based on the numbers the Aventura should feel more lively and quick. It should also be better in light airs. I’d love to hear what your experience is like! Please let me know at dave@NavalGazingatCampDavid.com.
thoughts about c cats vs adventura hull construction? I thought adventura was polyester? c cat vinylester is that right ? wondering if that's across all models. such a great review !
i found myself making genuine "surprised face" expressions as you walked through this boat! the sense of quality was def apparent in your video... would love some more detailed views of the mechanical systems... they will definitely be on my list when we go to a boat show!! and Ill get my wife to jump on and leave a comment as well ;) any plans to do an Adventura 44 review??
Hey Mike...& Mrs. Mike! LOL! I was surprised as well! Wait till you see the 14P review! Amazing value for the dollar. I will try to do more in the mechanical spaces in my next series of videos, so stay tuned. Re the 44...they are just releasing the 44S and I am dying to see it. As soon as it hits the shows I will get you that one. I just wish they would do a 50-52 sail. I really love their approach. I also wish that they would lend their interior designer to Catana. I love the 50OC layout but their interior treatment feels like a base RV. They could really use the Aventura touch! Looking forward to your wife's comments! Thanks again for watching!
Great video. I like this boat. Very nice layout for its small size. It is within my budget and is big enough for my usage. Aventura do make a 44 and has been available for some time now. You still need a symmetrical downwind sail like a Parasail for your dead downwind run like crossing the Atlantic going west. Code 0 don't really work well at 180 degree unless you have a very fast boat like the Dragonfly 40 you mention in your video.
Hi Serge. Thanks for watching and commenting!! Aventura have announced their brand new 44S, and from the look of the renders, she’s going to be a beauty!
David, nice walkthrough as always. i did not see hatches on the deck (good and bad - leaks, but ventilation)...whats your thoughts on this (I know Bali does the same thing). Also, maybe you could also mention the saloon glass materials. I know Phil @ Balance talks about how their glass is tempered glass. Nice, no grazing.
Hey Doug. Good eye! I never noticed the lack of overhead hatches when I was in the boat. That is a bit concerning, although, as you pointed out, it certainly has some benefits. I do recall it feeling open and airy, and perhaps that is why I failed to note the lack of overheads. Re the windows. I think they were real glass, but I will have to check. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
@@navalgazingatcampdavid No deck natches is a HUGE problem if you are going to sail anywhere it's warm. I can't imagine what that will be like. I've emailed the factory to see if it's an option. The boat, otherwise looks amazing!
Such a beautiful boat, I would love to buy one but I have don't know where to call in the US to get more info... Do you happen to have any info that could help? I have enough for the boat but not sure about all the add on's that one probably needs. I hate to admit, I would be buying the boat, living aboard, and then learning how to sail. Does the base price of about 300k USD give you enough equipment to live aboard and to be sea worthy enough for a guy to travel up and down the west coast? Thank you so much for the info.. This has become quite an exciting pull for me! :)
Very interesting considering the price, why not making short passages, to the Bahamas from Florida or from France to Ibiza, and for long passage once a year put the boat on a boat carrier...🤔
Hi JHK. It's certainly an option, although I have looked into the shipping costs for a boat like this and it is quite prohibitive for any level of frequency. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@navalgazingatcampdavid Wow they're great very handy. if you have more on other models like leopard they would be great to compare. all that info Is usually so buried. do you collect polars too? Well done
Thanks! I have videos on all the leopards with the same spreadsheets. Have a look through my channel content. Every boat has a similar comparison. Thanks for watching!!

Hi again. Yes, it is definitely big enough to live aboard ( although not for my Sylvia. Lol) There is an Aus couple with a TH-cam channel doing just that. Let’s Dance Sailing. Re an ocean…yes, I would do that in this boat, without hesitation.
@@jhk8513 Oh, I'm sorry. I edited both videos last night so must have gotten confused. Re the 37 across an ocean...I'm sure someone braver than I would do it, and I would not be surprised at their success. Its a strong, reasonably light boat. I would prefer nothing shorter than 45' myself.
Hey John. Thanks for watching and commenting! Aventura is releasing their brand new 45 soon, and the preliminary renders and layouts I have seen look spectacular! This really is a manufacturer to watch!
