    Here is a boat that will appeal to many of you who are looking for a high quality, convenient and easy to use vessel that gives you just enough luxury and no more. I suspect people who have had bigger boats before and looking for something that's 10 times easier to manage would really love this boat!
    The Quarken 35 is going to be suitable in many different climates and will allow you to operate it in less than idea weather and still enjoy your time on the water.
    Please enjoy,
    Dan

    Thanks for a thorough tour of an interesting new entrant into the Axopar/Wellcraft/Juneau/Nimbus commuter category. Lots to like, seems to perform well. Lack of easy access to port cleat an issue, also no thigh-high handholds forward of the roof top on the bow. Interior quite cramped for big people.

    I live on the Isle of Eight and we have an Axopar 28. If you have anything other than an adventure boat then your sailing days can be extremely limited. You can have good seas to the East, West and South of the island but the Solent to the North can get super lumpy with the winds and tides. It makes getting out of the mainland or island ports “interesting”.
    Nice boat, and drained cup holders. What a time to be alive!

    Dan, if I had know you were almost passing my front door on this Vid, you could have popped in for a Bite and a Coffee.
    The giveaway was the jacket, Newtown Creek and the Needles. Yes mate it's bloody chilly here, at least compared to south America and your home Australia.
    Nice review of the Quarken, however the accommodation is rather cramped for my liking. Other than that a nice boat with some serious get up and go.

      Agh a hot coffee would have been awesome David! It would have made for a fun video too. That was the coldest temps I’ve been in over 12 months so I was adjusting. I don’t own a scarf so had to improvise 😅… super cool place for boating however as you have lots of destinations! Enjoy summer, I’m headed back for Aussie winter now

    Very close to an ideal set up IMO. Would like C shaped seating arrangement in stern. No need for access to back platforms from both sides if you can walk between.
    Toilet the weak point.

    • @BoatLife_DansBoatLife

    Dan, such calm conditions out at the Needles! Interesting you compare this to Cutwaters, all of which are smaller in size. As a U.S. buyer who ended up with a Cutwater, one big difference - perhaps mentioned on your Patreon side? - is the high standard equipment level for Cutwaters vs. the much higher import and then options costs with these N Euro products.

    • @BoatLife_DansBoatLife
      @BoatLife_DansBoatLife  Před 14 dny

      Absolutely Jack the Cutwater comes with everything you need right off the bat. No need to add anything to the spec so very interesting how that model works for them. But I also think they are very focused on a specific client and a lot of the brands I test are focusing on a global market where the needs change depending on the region. Like in Singapore where I am this week you will option the boat very differently to Europe.

      @@BoatLife_DansBoatLife Very true, Dan. Seems like Fluid Motion sees two basic audiences for their Ranger Tugs & Cutwaters: the Northwest with its grey skies and standard heater, and the sweaty Southeast and Chesapeake with its standard air con. Lots if bells, whistles, gimmicks and gadgets come with each boat....but they sure do lack the clean understated lines of the Scandinavian designs.

    • @atnfn
      @atnfn Před 6 dny

      There is just no way that would have been possible because of how "shallow" the shape of the hull is. It would have had to be in the middle of the boat for that to be possible. I don't think the axopar boats have that either. My cousin actually worked on the design of the boat. Boats like Sargo, which he has also helped design have much deeper hulls.
