Thank you!

Just exactly what I thought when seeing the interior. Have been sailing on a few Swan yachts and this felt like a Nautor Swan interior. Very beautiful. All the best and fair winds from Sweden.

Thanks a lot!

Many thanks!

Can't wait!

Can only agree! Thanks.

I partly agree and that is the reason why we have a parallel system. If the Hybrid fails, the Yanmar 3JH40 can take over instantly. The only modification on the Yanmar was the air intake cover. The standard plastic version was replaced by a stainless steel version. The Hybrid part is delivered by HybridMarine from the UK. A company in business for over 20 years. Fun fact, we had a small issue with the Yanmar during a night passage (oil filter was not tight enough screwed in) and I could use the hybrid instead. So when docking the next day we still had a port and starboard engine available to us. With our setup we have 2x 2engines to our disposal.

@@svLonna I should have known you had most issues thoughtfully sorted from your presentation in the video. I'm just nit picking. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for the explanation and cheers.

Thank you! I am 6’4” as well and the hatches are wide and therefore easy assessable. You don’t need to be in the battery area because everything is remote controlled via blue tooth. The work shop is the other space with an hatch and that is for me a “nice to have” feature. They made handy steps / ladder to access the utility spaces. In general you have easy access to everything and the fact that the engines are place inside the hull instead of the sugar scoop sold the Antares to me. Nothing worse than working on an engine in rough see on the far aft of your boat.

@@svLonna I do like the engines accessible from the inside-I’ve been in the sugar scoops working on the engine in rough seas and it’s no fun.

Thank you, we enjoy it a lot!

The rain collection system is standard. Same as the "just in case" hand pump in the galley.

@SV Lonna a friend has one of the older models a 44 so I was going off the equipment list for that one. Thanks for the info, I have been thinking about getting a 44G

¡Gracias!

Graag gedaan

Thanks!

Thanks, good tip! We have on both sides pre-filters (rope material?) after the water collection. I need to investigate what that is exactly. We also have a filter after the main pump and a UV tap with filter. We like clean water for sure.

Antares is very open about that. See www.antarescatamarans.com

have a look on the Antares Catamaran website. They are very open regarding pricing. See www.antarescatamarans.com/build-your-antares-44-hybrid/

@@svLonna thank you for replying,i watched few of your videos and i saw that you got that crack on point of Lonna,is that damage because of poor quality or your fault?

If you mean the bow sprit crack, that was combination of bad luck and weather. In general we are very impressed by the workmanship and the quality delivered by Antares.

@@svLonna you are so lovely and thank you for answering my questions…..the last one you can answer in your spare time,so i don’t spend your precious time on Lonna….what would you say is your yearly maintenance on average(so it doesn’t need to be in penny’s but around thousands i would say)

@@skrbosmrdic2003 As Lonna is a brand new boat, our maintenance costs is low. for 12 month period, when rounding up, is US$ 1000. Mainly cleaning materials, (water) filters and engine maintenance (performed by Yanmar).

You pay for what you get. It’s good quality.

thank you!
