Beautiful boat, thanks Toby
Beautiful boat, thanks Toby🤙
Thanks for the review, particularly of how she sails and operates, and the running rigging. The interior design is nice; clean but with some warmth.
Would be great to see a Bestevaer review from Toby! Especially a 45 and soon to be released 36!
Yes I have sailed one before, a long time ago now, but didn't do a video back then. Certainly keen to do another though!
Great boat. Almost no flaws. Thanks for the review
Any Yachting World review by Toby is a good present for the evening! As for the GS, I like the rigging. Its similarity to Azuree 41 is striking apart from the aft design, I find. Nice boat, but you know what; I'll stick to Azuree....
Thank you!
Thanks for the nice video Toby. When do we get to see the Italia Yachts 12.98 berthed next door?
Very soon! Stay tuned... in the next week or two I hope
Nice boat Toby
Is that a thru hull fitting with no valve at 6:34?
@6:33, that thru-hull looked oddly crusty for a newish boat.
Must've used some old bits they had lying around.
What a beautiful ship! But how is the bowman supposed to stay on board when rigging the spi? I get the performance boost of a longer bowsprit giving able to hold a big A sail. But the telescopic bowsprit makes more sense to me.
This might be a weird question, but on boats with wet heads like this, where do you hang your towels?
Ah, I agree - I'd always tick the heated towel rail option if possible myself! T
@@yachtingworld sure, but where do you put it if you only have a wet room?
Auditor, you just give your towels to the Towel Genie who will do anything you are too retarded to figure out yourself.
If you want a floating bathroom, just cut your cabins to two. And live a life on a 4 person boat.
Personally , I would hire a towel boy. Do you need a job, Monitor?
On the life lines but make sure you have plenty of spares.
Much more like a sailing boat like the layout just one point why are fire extinguishers put in lockers all mine are visible and easy to access after all in an emergency especially with fire speed is essential that's my only gripe and the price .
I wonder how difficult it would be to mount those visible and easy to access...
I think the reason why I watch yachting videos is that I like the idea of sailing single handed, which is the impression you get when watching YachtingWorld video. I have to say that my bubble was popped after watching a year of videos from ppl single handing, and the fact you need a generator running practically 24-7.
I stand corrected!
Hydraulic winches, AI self-steering, internet, refrigerator
@@effingsix3825 Or cut down on power draw plus faster boat, bigger li-ion battery, more solar and a decent hydro generation setup. And perhaps even one of those really quiet wind generators. SV Delos here on CZcams has one of those wind generators...
She looks like a fun boat to sail but I would not like to use that galley on a passage in any kind of sea.
Look really good until you put a bimini on it
Interesting review yet again, but Toby's wobbly camera work inside made me queasy. You have such a successful channel going here, you can really afford to invest in better equipment. Consider getting a professional cameraman in.
makes it more familiar and authentic to me
Am I the only person who thinks the interior is horrid?
