No? I saw one each side and one in the heads.

@@philareilly must have missed that. Thanks!

@@jeffdunn890 Yeah, I miss a lot too. Old age.

Agreed, a very exciting new project for Phil Sharp, which we've covered and will continue to follow in the magazine. Not quite sure of the connection to the Bente 28 though?!

@rtbinc2273 there are many many open transom designs around these days. I don't see them as inherently unsafe, if there is a sturdy enough guardrail in place. If you're asking about it with regards to having small children aboard, I would set it up with netting across there too, as you might around the rest of the lower guardrails/wires. The pros of open transom are easy aft and swim platform access and obviously less weight - the cons are things can get washed out from the cockpit (but hopefully not crew, however big or small if the right precautions are taken). T

And a very different price.

This induction cooker would only work on shore power.

It’s an 28ft boat. I don’t think many people go on long passages with it. And we don’t drink as much tea as British sailors.

You need privacy on a 28 footer boat ? really ? I mean you can put curtains , if you see plywood heavy doors you will like it better?

@@proteus19 A very old design by Peter Milne RIP, Salty Dog. Still sailing today. Look at the clever design. A proper cruising little yacht (by today's standards) but very fast. Plywood Doors? Solid teak louvered!

Yes, why should you buy a new one? Only crazy people do.

get a new kid.

Carbon fibre bow sprit, race rigging, twin rudders, made in Europe, yep it’s a low cost family boat…. Definitely there target market

​@@braydonscully4646 'their '

​@@DNN88 If I could I would

Two rudders offers redundancy and reduced draft, some pretty desirable features in my opinion (also required when the beam is brought all the way aft, unless you want a really deep rudder).

@@philareilly If you consider both rudders getting ripped off due to neither rudder having any protection as "Redundancy" then I'll go with that. What you also have redundancy of is low speed manouverability and the reduncy of that vital early warning to depower the Sails that is called Weather Helm. All "Redundancy" features I will a ois at all costs thank you very much as I am a raiser and not interesting in Posing as some sort of Retard Sailboat Racer (many of whom apparently are ditching twin rudders and going back to single rudders at very considerable expense). As usual, "Do Stupid Things And You Win Stupid Prizes". Which is why I have avoided any and all Racing Sailboat "Features" on my boats since the 1979 Fastnet Race Tragedy. Others appear to be less inclined to Learn, but that's their Coice. Boatbhilders however, Have No Excuse . Do They. 🤔

@@brownnoise357 No offense, but what I take from this response is that anybody who races is an idiot, any boatbuilder that offers twin rudders is misguided, and any boat without a skeg or keel-hung rudder is dangerous.

@@brownnoise357 Your choices seem to have made you incredibly grumpy and unhappy. So maybe you should try something different. Also you should consider that people have different preferences even if they fit under the same umbrella of sailboat cruising. There are as many ways to cruise as there are cruisers and every sea is different too.

@@samianttilampela6384 Measured against the Beaufort Scale and Barometric Pressure, there aren't really any significant differences between Seas until you get into the likes of the Roaring Forties and Super El Nino's anyway. The Fundamental Needs of Successful Liveaboard Cruisers haven't really changed in a hundred years. Treat Beaufort Scale 6 Winds as a Yacht Gale and run like hell from any of them in a Boat able to Ride it out if necessary, given enough Sea Room. If you can't outrun it, have a shallow enough Draft to be able to tuck into well she,tired Bays with enough water at low tide to be able to Anchor in securely. It isn't Rocket Science, it isn't Sailboat Racing, it's Cruising on Sailboats that have the basic essentials designed and built into them. If you screw up you get Grumpy, if you Survive afloat for Decades you have everything to smile about. So "Grumpy" Stop Projecting your Failures and lack of Comprehension onto other People. Right? 🤔

Plenty of headroom. You're not going to be standing for dinner

7ft headroom in the main area you need it by the galley and companionway is very good for a 28 footer!

@@yachtingworld it drops away much too quickly though. Getting forward to the V berth looks like a nightmare for a tall person.

Only if you're too tall.

Its perfect weekend adventure boat , your guest no matter what cost and comfort you give still can find something no good , its ok if are uncomfortable for weekend adventure is part of fun as long you have the head nice and clean and a place to stretch their legs

Hey, we won't let you tell us that! Of course we can also brand the toilet bag! Best regards from Germany ;)

@@benteyachts328 That’s the spirit! 💪 Thanks for picking up on my sarcasm. I was very bemused that the toiletry bag got that much attention, but essential features like how sheets are run etc. are omitted in this walk-through. I think it’s a cool-looking boat, likely fun to sail, and with some creature-comfort.
