Love to see the Linjett 39 win! ❤ Family Gustavsson fully deserve some recognition for their really fine family cruisers throughout the years and lately their latest models are breathtakingly beautiful. They are a very common sight in the Stockholm archipelago, specifically in the outer islands, and the reason is that if you own one you tend to use it quite a lot.

Thank you for the interesting coverage. I think this is the most interesting coverage I have seen so far. And the Toby talk was a big bonus!

Boot is insane. Those are exactly the boats that caught my eye as well…plus the Swan 55! Awesome behind the scenes look at the show. Thanks Matt!

These "European Yacht of the Year" awards are a bit like "I scratch your back, you scratch mine". I guess the biggest criteria winning one is a model of a company with a big advertising budget as coincidentally the jury consists of representatives from yachting magazines. Already enough of bad smells?

Great show you always do a wonderful job always nice to see Toby

Oh, I'd wondered where Matt had gone, now I've found him lurking on KZfaq. I've been reading him for years, now he's here. Got another subscriber now.

Well done. Keep it up.

At 0:26, sorry Matt but as you were there you must have heard a lot of Germans pronounce 'Boot Dusseldorf' or 'Das Boot' (like the movie), but none of them would have made it sound like footwear! It is pronounced more like we pronounce 'bought' or 'bort'. I know we can't always pronounce things as the locals would, but 'The Boot Show'! :)

Nice to see the chat with aToby.

Beautifull ships ! Thank the lord I am happy with my Coronado30 wich does 6.5 knots upwind and 8.5 downwind !in the Salish Sea.

Beautiful boats, cool kit, nice show, exemplary commentary..looking at all that one would never imagine a brutal war taking place just a few kilometers down the autobahn, eh?

The David Attenborough of yacht commentators, love it.

interesting and enjoyable reporting-thanks very much-

Great video, really cool coverage!

Great job Matt Sheahan!!

Well done, Matt. Cheers

1 solar panel to charge the battery is like filling a wheelbarrow with a teaspoon, an impractical gimick.

Thanks for bringing the event to the comfort of our homes! Nothing made out of wood?! Cheers!

Thanks much Matt and Toby. It's refreshing to see some of the new ideas in the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 55, Sunbeam, etc. The Beneteau First 36 may look plain but the performance sounds outstanding. That all said, much more interested in multihulls here. It's definitely good that recycling is being taken more seriously. Aluminum is highly recycled.

Great report Matt

Great reviews and thoughts. Thanks.

I’ve owned several boats and been sailing for 45 years. I’ve rigged and delivered boats. Apart from the gee whiz of new boats and techs what the boating industry needs is an approach where every piece of every boat is not unique. To be accessible and affordable boat manufacturers need production, service schedules and warranties/ Hyundai changed motoring - when will their boating counterpart emerge?

Matt did a fabulous job with Toby's interview, so knowledgeable, both. Loved the new 30's and all. Thanks so much for the tour, hope to be there next year.

I'm all for more recyclable material but the idea that the owner of a thirty year old boat is going to be trading for a new boat, with the recycling of resin being a significant factor is laughable.

Fabulous effort.

That Sunbeam is cool looking but the lack of bulkheads and the induction hob make me think it was designed by someone who's never been in a seaway

The winning sailboats are interesting in that they are highly performance oriented. This means they can sail fast, even upwind. The price for this is very vulnerable appendages, such as the rudder(s) and keel. They are short and deep. A keel or rudder strike at speed can mean a disastrous repair bill.

A lovely family!

Thanks! Great Show.

Thanks again. Very interesting.

Interesting that they are usually monohulls. Having spent many years on monos and then a few years ago swapping to a multi it's clear to me that the multi is a much better option in just about every aspect.

Great video and also agree it was nice to see Toby too. Looking forward to your other content soon.

Why doesn't any builder put a platypus bill bow on a sailboat?

I thought this was a sailing yacht but I didn’t see much sail in there.

Cool stuff. Trying to convince the wife we should go.

Thank you, wonderful. Great show

The ultimate "sustainability" behavior is to use what you got for as long as you can. Everything else is pretentious marketing strategies that follow moronic trends of an era. The only good thing about these is the fact that new technologies enter the court to compete with existing technologies. Some of these are here to stay, but not all.

I work for a jeanneau dealer and still have old boats in yard will be nice to be able to reuse it to build a new on haven't seen the 55 in the states yet

Great content. And kudos to Beneteau for bringing forth a recyclable boat. Really cool to see.

What’s the mass in the keel? We’ll see if any boat like that real I er deliver!

When I see these "ships", I don't know if I cry tears of laughter or anger. Since the designers, the controllers have the dictation over the shipbuilding it is getting worse and worse. Attached spade rudders, with thin polyester shells and a polyurethane hard foam core, bolted keels and best of all a sail drive as a drive. Wonderful attachments to produce a marine emergency at the slightest collision. Where should this madness lead? In the past, functionality, safety and seaworthiness determined the shape. Today it is exactly the other way around. And the maritime press still gives this nonsense a platform, probably just to make ads business. One hand washes the other ?

good one! cheers.

A good report but the "boot" is no longer the only place for watersports enthusiasts to see the highlights. Local shows will take up the slack. The level of the show has been dropping for at least 20 years.

I doubt that the jeanneau 36 does 8 knots upwind.

Not my kind of boat show. This was a manufacturer's show, not a boater's show. Very impersonal and certainly not geared to the average boater and their needs. Each builder cordoned off their boats to the general crowd, allowing only those who were first vetted to board. A lot of money was poured into displays, and the pressure to sell was palpable. I won't go again.

Nice to see you and Toby in a video together. If only Nick from Aquaholic was around it’d be my three favorite boat tour guides in one place.

Linjett is very well regarded in Sweden. Very good sailing capability and top quality. Secondhand prices keeps very high, even for now very old ones.

Love the Jeanneau 55 , perfect Med cruiser, Greek Island hopping.

Thank you Matt! Amel has been protecting the captain for years. Just saying

The obvious reason Linjett is not that known abroad is that they have enough customers in Sweden to keep them busy.

Not one decent cruising yacht. Lovely electronics to get full of salt and pack up in some remote place. Caravans! , give me a boreal anyday over this junk.

Francamente non capisco quale sia la strategia commerciale dietro questa storia dell’abbonamento. I Vostri video, per quanto interessanti e ben fatti, sono uno spot pubblicitario dietro l’altro ed è incomprensibile perchè mai uno dovrebbe pagare per guardare la pubblicità o pagare per promuovere i loro prodotti e servizi su un canale che ha certamente ridotto le visualizzazioni ( almeno le mie) a causa della sottoscrizione… cercherò altro canale … il web ne è pieno

Tupperware party

Wait did he say fuel is banned on lakes in Europe? That is insane guessing these “big” lakes are actually quite small 😂

Too much talk, too little boat show.... Me disappointed

Yawn

(((((🙌)))))

any boat that is not in the final color of gelcoat, that boat is crap. All boats today are arranged to look nice to the eye, and we know that this is not quality. After 5 years of polishing and damage, that boat has to be completely repainted, while gelcoat is better quality and more resistant, even after 20 years the gelcoat gives shine and quality.
