This boat is a marvel, a guarantee of reliability and safety, expensive but money well spent. I would choose a light wood and gray leather layout for the sofas and armchairs with an exterior line of the same color, dark gray ...
Certainly a 'nice' boat as in a penthouse would be 'nice too. I agree with you guys comment re preference for a secondhand boat. For me your 'Bluejuice' ticks all the boxes re livability and lifestyle choice for the maximum sailing experience and isn't sailing what it is all about? Appreciate taking us along to the boat show.
@Dawn, ah we didn't know how to sail or fix things either. To be honest we sort of figured out how to sail (when weather is not too crazy..) but the fixing part is quite difficult! thank god for youtube, we learn EVERYTHING there. Plus people you meet are always super helpful! So if you want it, you can learn! :)
Wow! Half a million dollars will get you a nice boat! I've always thought the hard windshields on the HR's look really sharp. The retracting thrusters are cool - we looked into a bow thruster for our 361, but there are too many other uses for the $8k it was going to cost. Do you like the teak decks? I understand they are popular in the Northern areas, but down here in the SW Florida, they would seem to be too hot. Nice job showing the boat!
thanks :) oh we're so happy we don't have teak decks. In some anchorages we saw people bucketing them with sea water only to be able to walk on deck in the summer
This lounge chairs in the 40c would probably be a great place for a nap when you’re on a port tack lol especially if you have a good heel. Lol woulds first automatic rocker recliner lol You know, I just watch Yachting world walk through of the 40c before yours. You did so much better.
I understand what you mean, it might have been the camera a little bit, although it was a wide angle action cam. But the HR is not build to be a charter boat. So it has way more storage space and lockers everywhere and more components that are made to create comfort, like the lounge chairs. I think that is what might make it feel less spacious.
Hi, excellent review (again). I have subscribed. Question: do you know if this boat has an option to transform the saloon bank into a double berth (by lowering the cockpit table)?
Great video ! I am also preparing a short video about 40C and an interview with Magnus that I did yesterday. However, I should link from my video to yours as well since yours is also quite informative 👍😄
see the little things it’s online ! I’m gonna link to yours as well in a pinned comment. Here is mine: th-cam.com/video/4erTzKiQrKM/w-d-xo.html ,let me know what you think :)
Humm interesting.Constructively saying...... So all the rigging is Selden, all the hatches and winches are Lewmar, its now a fin keel with a sail drive and the prop does not vetor the thrust over the prop it has twin rudders not skeg hung, all the joinery is CNC . Looks like Halberg as selling a similar boat to so many for a lot more money? You can buy a lot more boat for the the cost. We wonder what the appeal would be? Great video guys with loads of info. Thanks for sharing. Ant & Cid xx
@sv Impavidus, that's the thing with buying new I guess, buying second hand you could get a crazy equipped boat for that money! But when you walk around on the Boot fair in Düsseldorf, there's a lot of people that have so much money, it really doesn't matter to them :D. I guess the appeal is that when you buy new you can really decide how everything looks, as to buying second hand you can't. Also, the quality and feel of the HR is very very good compared to the production boats of course (benneteau, jeanneau etc.). But if I'd have that kind of money, I'd still go get me a second hand boat!
I know they are much more expensive but for me it would be an Amel 50 as they are much more contained in the cockpit and a better designed boat. The Hallberg-Rassy is a fine boat indeed but would definitely be my 2nd choice
All I can see are systems and extra things (dishwasher, washing machine, etc.) that will fail at some point and require time and more $ to fix. This boat is best left tied to a dock somewhere. If you feel you need all of these conveniences, just stay on land. Part of the point of untying the lines is to simplify and experience the planet more directly.
@André It's not about being poor. It's about how people experience the world and how insulated one must be from "inconvenience." Getting out into the greater world... a more natural world... can only truly be experienced once you let go of all of the manufactured "need" of modern life. Also, at some point with a boat like this with this many added on and superfluous systems it is about time--which no matter how wealthy you are--you cannot get back. Because when they fail or need maintenance, you will be stuck at some dock or boatyard somewhere. It is highly unlikely those retractable thrusters, for example, will not require attention and cause many headaches sooner rather than later. The simpler the boat with the minimum of systems necessary for safety the more enjoyable the actual boating experience will be. Boats like this and other luxury items are not owned... they soon own YOU. ;)
fantastic comment could not agree more. The comment previous about not everyone being poor was a cheap shot from someone who's probably only seen boats on youtube and is land locked at at all sides
@André It's humorous that a) you assume because someone is not falling over themselves for a half-million dollar boat they are "poor," and b) the only reason they do not want such a marina queen is they are "poor," and c) that they are also jealous because they cannot have said boat because they are, as stated, "poor." hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Like the quick "that's what she said" hahaha
😬😬 hihi
Very well covered in this short laps of time. Entertaining video. Thx
Thanks for watching :)
Nice surprise this morning. new vid!!!
aaand another regular one coming tomorrow :) Wintertime is well spent behind screens, editing and boat shows, filming :)
The first boat is cheaper than cars!!! Also cheaper than RV, which is what I want. Can't sail, I can't fix stuff. Thanks for taking me along😍

@ you won't be gerrin any of My money! most people do it that way anyway😂
good job. thanks for looking in the various lockers so we can see how deep they are too.
you're welcome! it's always fun to open up all the lockers :D
Living on a shoestring with my South Coast 22 I can only dream of something like this : )
Hear you, love my 50 year old Aquarius 23!
I bet that was fun I was drooling I think it was the boat but I do suffer from confusion hope your still enjoying your journey
hehe, it was probably the boat. It must be 😁
Nice episode nice boat thanks
Happy we could take you along :)

Thanks Lucas, that is so nice of you to say! :)
oooh yeah, I would love to have those chairs too.. the comfort.. uuuh.
It's nice but seems a bit small for a 40' center cockpit. Dont know if it is the camera but a Beneteau or Bavaria 40cc looks bigger inside.

Nice boat she's the queen of the dock lol
oh yeah 👑

Hey mate, thanks for subbing! sorry I don’t know about that

Yacht World also did a walk-through of this, but this one is better IMO
@@shanevillis4079 Yep and yacht world got paid LOL
@@SVImpavidus Of course,

aah thanks Shane! that's nice to hear :) :)
Did You like the quality of the interior? Layout and storage?
actually yeah, we liked it. Seemed like a really nice boat. When money is not an issue. :)
reView the Amel 60 please !!!
Haven’t been onboard.. sorry!
I know they are much more expensive but for me it would be an Amel 50 as they are much more contained in the cockpit and a better designed boat.
The Hallberg-Rassy is a fine boat indeed but would definitely be my 2nd choice
17 exhibition halls? 🤷♂️
Dat wordt nog even sparen😛
the 70ies called, they want their crappy music back!
🕺
Microwave down by your knees...nope !!!
