Work smart. Not hard. Or do both and get there quicker

or the cushion. but just to be on the safe side so ,as not to break your budget just buy a spoon or a fork. 🤣👍

I doubt it unless you're a surgeon. It's taken me 2 years to buy the toilet lid .

@@ronaldkirkland9859 It shouldn't be that much. If you went with 1/2" 316 stainless steel windlass chain x 80 meters you should have it delivered for $7500 USd.

Thank you Larry!

he avoids the obvious, so yes, he would be a good salesman for Oyster

@@yachtingworld I hope you don't take offences that there's times like this I hate you. You don't just have a good job or even an excellent job. In fact I don't know how to describe your job or even if anyone can. I bet there's times you complain that the wind is icy cold or something. Thankfully you don't put that in your videos. Next time it is icy cold and rough seas just remember what you do *AND GET PAID FOR IT* because the rest of us don't. I do have a question. Is this the best boat in its class (around 60ft)? I'm an aerospace engineer who works in controls systems and automation. So I am quite familiar with the sort of hardware and electronic controls in something like this. I do the same sort of stuff you show with the touch screens except for things like manufacturing plants and mineral processing facilities. They are a little different to the industrial stuff I do but the principles are the same. *I can recognise the attention to detail instantly in all that system.* The fact they have considered the maintenance and servicing of the electrics and other automation is stunningly impressive. Almost all other engineers outside of my field don't care about maintenance. Their idea is make it work and dump it on the customer. I almost want to show the mechanical engineers I work with that this is how things are DONE PROPERLY. From your perspective its a beautiful boat. From mine its a beautiful piece of engineering.

Thanks 👍

@@yachtingworld I don't know if I should have the utmost respect for your work or just outright hate you for the job you have.

Thanks Jukka!

it is a piece of shit

@@thomaselliott573 and what would you know about that?

@@Metal_Auditor What was once the most superb example of one the greatest styles of yacht, - the round-the-world capable, luxury cruising yacht, has been reduced to another boring, usless cookie-cutter piece of shit for going out to impress your friends around the harbor.

@@thomaselliott573 I’m pretty sure these boats are designed to sail around the world.

@@Metal_Auditor Stay pretty. Do your make up

Couldn’t agree more. But what about just some shade? In the Sun ALL day…no thanks. I find it odd that a Bimini of some sort wouldn’t be standard.

@@Abc-kf4qx there is a foldable Bimini that extends from the splash hood to the back and it comes standard with the boat but i guess they did not put it up for the shoot

...anyone who can afford this, will be able to afford to pay for a Qualified crew to sail this vessel to whichever destination the owners is going to, or will be at 🤔 that's a ludicrous amount of money for a yacht, the owner can afford a fully manned and trained crew

There are quite a few other reasons why this is not suitable for offshore work. It is a very very strange design for a brand known historically as, supposedly, the ultimate offshore yacht.

@@thomaselliott573 funny enough there are quite a few oysters in Arc Atlantic crossings. From top 10s to bottom 10s they are littered in all the categories so clearly people do cross oceans with these. (Perhaps they offer options for some soft weather protection covers?)

and unlike Aquaholic, Toby does not censor comments when people say that Beneteau is overprised or so.

Burning diesel in a diesel generator would drive me insane.

@Mal L Maybe something similar from Oceanvolt has lower noise levels...

For a few million, it would definitely bug me!

Electric drive with Lithium ion batteries, solar and a backup generator are already being used on multiple production sailboats, including relatively inexpensive global cruisers such as Windelo. It seems highly practical to me, and it's operating in much greater synergy with wind and nature than chugging along with Diesel drive. With hydrogeneration all of the energy used to motor out of marina/mooring ball/anchorage can be recharged simply by sailing. With enough solar and battery, the generator can get almost no use, even when powering all house loads like induction cooking, watermaker, etc. The generator is just an emergency backup for very long becalmed passages.

God ??? You worked that out???

Crew? No thank you.

I agree, I wish the whole side hullport windows were flush because it seems as it will interrupt true speed potential at heel. But I am in love with anything and all oysters!

whats best ?

Short of knowing him personally and talking with him off record there is no way of really knowing the answer to that question.

The Amel would be a better live-a-board and sailing yacht in heavy weather. Vastly better safety and crew ergonomics. This is a fair weather boat, barely any grab rails below means you'd likely have a head injury after a day on a transat.

@@sheilamorrison1954 I read that more Oysters have circumnavigated then any other brand...... Makes your comments seem a bit pointless!

@@christopherfranklin2636 Look at the older ones (When they were the best) to now. 2 bankruptcies and buyouts have changed them. Anyone with half a brain and experience at sea could tell this would be terrible place to move around in heavy weather. By your same logic Beneteau are the best open water boat as they have more ARC crossings than any other. Clearly they arent.

@@sheilamorrison1954 2 questions: 1. have you ever been on a new Oyster? as I'm sure they can put as many handholds as you wish! 2. what is your sailing experience of crossing oceans?

​@@christopherfranklin2636 10 Years of sailing Med, Solent, North Sea (Harsh winter sailing). Plenty. From 30-60ft yachts. I dont even know how many thousands of miles, I dont count anymore. Toby even says it needs more holds at 10.35 in the video - He can barely reach the tiny hold and he is 5.10. My 5.4 wife wouldn't have anything to hold for 3m getting forward. Far too open.

they have changed to the pop-out Bavaria style after the company was put under new ownership and investment. The main thing required now is the size of the fridge and cooking appliances

Yes this one had a small hydrogenerating prop fitted between keel and propeller - it is an option (ie not a standard fit), an increasingly popular one for generating power while sailing

You could get a fully optioned Outremer 55 and have £500,000 in change

@@testicool013 Yeah. My sentiments exactly.

The toughened glass is stronger than the fibreglass surrounding!

Yes and no, depends on your taste and what you're doing it, they're all good boats, every boat is a trade off and some will prefer each of them.

The horizantal ones causing all the splashing look a bit wonky indeed. I don't get why they didn't fair them in better

Yes I agree - there should be an option for soft too or hard top protection.

Look Amel sailboat

@@mathis_r73 Yep the Amel is my dream boat especially now that they have gone to a sloop rig. Like the Super Maramu too but a ketch rig is a little more than I can handle solo. It's just a crew of two. Amel's focus on safety and the pushbutton sailing make it ideal for a couple. But on the flip side you can't beat the build quality of an Oyster. Those get top of the line everything but not meant for single handed sailing in the 60 foot range.

@@marylandflyer5670There idea seems to be that in adverse conditions you sail the boat on auto and on watch crew shelter under dodger. I have to say that’s what I do on my own boat( not an oyster !) but certainly the attractions of the sheltered helm position of the Amel could be very appealing in poor conditions. However in nice weather or a bit of round the cans you want good viz. it all depends on what you use the boat for.

Just get an optional canopy. It’s not that fuckin’ difficult.

Hahaha

Very little - as the windows are generally stronger than the glassfibre surrounding them!
