Re: Garcia Exploration 45

I don't remember about a vinyl wrap but it's possible, although the boat had suffered several impacts which weren't too visible thanks to the alu hull. I would watch however the contact point between...

Re: Garcia Exploration 45

Having chartered one recently, I would say from experience the boat is definitely comfortable and the helming position is not an issue. However she was in the earlier production models and had a few...

Re: New Excess Catamaran Brand

Over the marketing stunt, the xcs 11 shall be the most interesting as its the brand's first own hulls, not from a lagoon. Also the deck is infusion moulded apparently, I shall see this weekend

Re: New Excess Catamaran Brand

A production cat which makes standard many usually optional features is interesting indeed, and these helm don't look any worse than the ones on a mono hull so maybe some people find them unbearable...

Re: Beneteau Excess Catamarans Launched

Also, these complaining about brand names going from adventure to luxury appeal, Privilege is pretty old, and Lagoon is still there which is ironic considering it's now...

Re: Beneteau Excess Catamarans Launched

They seem to have a strange take on performance with these tall rigs

Re: Amel 50 - Build Thread

Congrats, she looks wonderful!
I was wondering how many Amels are there sitting around in this marina from your pictures, and what are they doing here?

Re: Sun Loft 47

There was the Feeling 55 too, better than the Dufour Atoll in my opinion

Re: Neel 45

One owner has had a bad experience and pretty much tried to tell everyone about it. However it is pretty clear that he was responsible for most of it. There's a thread here and on SA about the story....

Re: Oceanis vs Sense performance

Last time I checked the Sense line had vanished from their website, is it still a thing? (Considering you are looking for new boats)

Re: Thoughts on Wauquiez 41 Pilot Saloon

The 44DS is an owner's boat, far from a mainstream popular (charterable) model. The reason it exists is only because it's effectively a SO449 with a different deck making it cheaper to develop.

Re: New Lagoon 460

Just my two cents:
Davits, sail configuration and even the flower pot (yes really) seem tonne down to owner specification. For example a self tacking jib will probably be very appreciated by someone...

Re: Thoughts on Wauquiez 41 Pilot Saloon

A few additional corrections:
1) Wauquiez is part of the Expertô-Revollier group which owns high quality brands like latitude46 and now Rhéa marine
2) I would rather say Ben, Jean and Bav build at...

Re: New Lagoon 460

Mostly because inmast furling can get stuck and will take a lot longer to remove sail area than just dropping the main, which can be dramatic on a cat. Also with the mast aft and without a full...

Lagoon might also get the same equipment at a lower cost thanks to the scale of the Beneteau group

Re: Nautitech Open 46

Their newer models also proved to be more complicated and costly to build than anticipated, which added to the lack of confidence from the investors. Indeed hopefully with the demand growing they...
