Your father has a Seaward ehh??? 🤔 Now there’s a Meet the Owner episode I’m sure EVERYONE wants to see!!! 😳👍🏻😉

That's a proper little mini ship 😊 For one person and a dog, just the perfect size 😄 Great little boat, and great tour!

Ooohh -- a Land Rover for the seas! Love it! There are many, many places in the world where a boat like this would be a real timesaver and an excellent way to spend time at sea! Thanks for the tour!

More boats like this Nick.

I love semi-displacement and displacement yachts, I value safety and comfort much higher than speed and style. Very nice little yacht!

I've always loved the look of the pilot boats going out from my local coastal town. So cool there's a consumer version!

Hi Nick. A sturdy seaworthy boat. All weather with plenty of power 28 knots. Like this one a lot. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊

Super boat nick, simple yet does the job with ease. I have seen one of these passing us in a force 9 as a pilot boat, very stable and at speed witch made us at the time a 60ft fishing vessel look like a dingy

It's like a large version of my late 70s Mayland Fisher. Even at 19ft it can do some serious wading with the semi-displacement hull. My hull is basically a scaled down Vospa Torpedo boat and no joke I can stick it about anywhere and it turns on a button. It's only sporting an old 2smoker 75hp evinrude modded to 80hp but sits at 20knot with maybe 75% throttle as its so light. I'd love this boat but I only have maybe £80k for my next venture so I'll need to do some homework to see if I can get something simmilar to this. I cannot wait!

Fab boat...I love it! I bet it is great fun when the sea is a bit lively. Lovely wood interior....and some great touches like the flip steps to the swim platform.

Love this! Ideal day boat/weekend getaway for coastal folk.

This boat has given me an idea, do you think you would be allowed to film Pathfinder, the pilot boat that works out of Brixham? I think it would be really interesting to have a look around the boat and hear from her crew and from the pilots themselves. Possibly have a trip out to film a transfer too, providing insurance and health and safety policies allow. I have so much respect for the crew of this boat, any time of day, regardless of sea conditions, they go out there. It would be interesting to see how they manage the risks and make something that, to me, appears terrifying possible.

I’m from Brixham - to me that boat always looks bow-heavy in trim. It does not sit well on the water. No doubt about its capabilities tho.

Agree, great boat! Having fun with out the sun...

Great boats just like a baby Nelson if seen one of these seawards in probably the worst weather you could imagine of Shetland and it just ploughed through as if it was nowt .love them 👍👍👍👍👍

I would quite happily live on that for a couple of years , and take her down to the Greek islands, perfect for Island hopping and would also be able to take on the rough conditions when things kick off.

@@dospalmascb 110mph? I'm not sure tbh. The reason I say that is because I was on loch Ness when they claimed it was 98mph in the area and my Bresser was only showing 74mph. Which is still fast but not nearly as dangerous. My measuring equipment doesn't seem to be matching what the weather offices are saying and I know I'm not the only one. Quite a lot of boaters I know talk about the weather equipment being calibrated for "eco warrior mode" so vastly over reading in all spectrums. BTW I'm not suggesting you're lying as even 65mph winds can make a mess but what would you say? Do you think 100mph is accurate?

Nice, practical little boat 😀

Love the videos. I like the “affordable” but maybe one day you can get one mega yacht

This boat looks fun , like a second car, to the people who already have a nice 60 footer, or gun runners trying to dodge the navy

"Anemo" is a loan word from Ancient Greek which means "wind". Hence, "anemo" + "meter" can be somewhat referred to as a portmanteau or mishmash of words to mean "wind measuring device".

Very nice!

Love it. I want one! Now, where’s that lottery ticket……?

Perfect !!

Like this quite a lot.

That sink in the heads really lets it down. Picky I know but, just a little bit more thought would lift the look to a less utilitarian fitment. I feel I can safely “diss” the sink as my ST34 has two of them for the galley arrangement. Effective but just lacking that bit of “ahh that’s nice”.

Great for those bigger boats(ships) to have as an all weather tender in the med

It's just whatever works best for the layout or whatever the manufacturer chooses. No 'sides' to drive on like a road.

A very nice boat Nick, not sure that I'd be willing to pay over $410,000 for one though. Although I will admit it does cram quite a lot into such a small package.

Just one question though. If need be, could this boat tackle true blue water?

@paulnorman8274

Жыл бұрын

They are far from ideal, if "blue water" suitability is the goal. The most obvious reason being: They really don't have the fuel range. The hull is also far from optimal for deep open ocean conditions. Compared to far and away most powerboats, they'll comport themselves much better out there in a blow, though. For one, they are about as solid and bunker like as anything which floats can be. But if Transats/transpacs under power is the goal, proper trawler yachts of North Sea inspiration, or something like a Dashew FPB, or a "troller yacht" (Diesel Duck) are much, much better suited. As are ocean going sailboats. These rule in the sort of nasty conditions they were designed for: Having to go out into a swell across a choppy inlet with steep, confused seas; nasty English Channel tidal steams turned even more chaotic by shallows and headlands jutting out everywhere; getting from A to B during daylight hours, since in addition to having nasty tides and choppy seas, The English Channel is also pretty much one giant shipping lane etc..... As in: The kind of nastiness which pops up as a result of interaction between land and sea in coastal regions. Way out in the blue yonder, the potential problems and constraints faced are different. Hence required very different optimizations.

First class boat for getting from A to B whatever the weather- but a wonder how many of us need that - a boat to use when the conditions suggest you shouldn’t? Always felt like a Narrow market to me. £365k in full offshore spec…umm
