Re: Dean 5000 Vs Knysna 500

Re: Nautitech Open 40

Re: New Lagoon 42 Vs Lucia-40 ?

Re: New Lagoon 42 Vs Lucia-40 ?

Dotdun, I thought the same way for several years to the point I argued at two boat shows with the MD of Nautitech and said why don't you cater for people like me! Then I took this boat for a week's...

Re: New Lagoon 42 Vs Lucia-40 ?

Nautitech open 40 so much better than FP...better quality, faster sailing, better pointing, better aging, thats why I bought one!

Re: Lagoon 450 s or FP Helia 44?

Re: Nautitech Open 40

I think the Outremer will be very nice, but a little hardcore for me, I wanted performance with a little more comfort and budget! Never sailed a Seawind and would like to sail the Balance, you should...
