    I love the smaller boats like this. What they get into this 26ft thing amazes me!

    Can’t wait to see the sea trial of them both side by side?! 🤞🏼

    I imagine the fixed table leg under the bed is for the dining table. So that it can be put away securely.

      You're exactly right Nick. Checked with the builders after the event and it turns out the entire cockpit table fitting is stowed neatly away on rigid brackets so it doesn't rattle about underway.

    Aquador 250 looks like a nice Express Cruiser. It would be helpful if the reviews had an approx purchase price. I'd also consider the Regal 26XO and the Crownline 280CRX, to name a few.

    If you don't opt for the extra 30 liter drawer fridge, what is that space used for? Or is it dead space?

    I'm guessing that fixing under the bed is for storing the table.

    Seeing this impressive layout - cockpit and interior - makes me wonder what that hull looks like and how she performs at sea. Let's hope Alex gets a chance to give her a shakedown later this year.

    • @alexsmith3945
      @alexsmith3945 Před 5 měsíci +1

      Went to Norway a couple of months back for exactly that. In spite of the fact that it uses a voluminous hull with a relatively short waterline length and a single outboard, it performs just fine. Hits around 36-37 and runs in the low 20s at 2 litres per mile. Range is a bit short at 100 miles but that's what you get when you choose to prioritise living space over fuel capacity!

    • @jacktyler7599
      @jacktyler7599 Před 5 měsíci

      @@alexsmith3945 That's impressive....and encouraging. It suggests there is still some performance to be had, even in amazingly spacious interiors. Thanks for that, Alex.

    So compared to a Jeanneau leader 805, it offers less space inside, less space outside plus a petrol motor outboard that burns 50-70% more than diesel inboard of the Jeanneau…… nice…..evolution? Probably not

    I have to laugh at the design of most boats, they are useless in the UK weather, all the interior getting soaked. I much prefer trawler style for UK waters rather than Med Style boats for that reason.
