I would recommend making it FLAT, with fiberglass, and to the dimensions you would need to be able to mount a bunch of solar panels (in other words, purchase the panels FIRST, then make the bimini to match).

What are your insurance costs today? What's your annual maintenance on a 29 ton vessel? How much to hull out an bottom paint?

That is one incredible catamaran, and priced very reasonable, considering the quality of Privilege and the fact, that it has been refitted entirely twice already. The space of this boat is just incredible. Try to grasp this fun fact for you: This huge commodious luxury catamaran cost almost exactly the same as a brand new Amel 50 monohul. I like those Amels, probably the most attractive monohul, in my opinion, but this catamaran sure gives you more room and luxury. Not even comparable really.

I haven’t finished the video yet but I have to say I’m loving the new intro and production you’ve got going on. Great camera work to! It’s a big difference from before :)

Wiley, knocked it out the park mate!! Best walk through ever - setting the bar my friend. Top, top quality - all concerned to be congratulated. Perhaps the best turned out 615 ever - love that (wrap?) colour scheme. Would only swap out the davits for the additional room of the rear deck space - says he with the lego version money! Best of luck to you and the Mrs with your new business - you deserve it. Quick question: how intrusive is the engine noise in the cabins? Overnight motoring an issue re sleep?? Cheers, Phil.

I'd like to see more of the Yanmar section, access and serviceability. I think the greatest selling point, or not, is the engine compartments. On the 510 and 580, access and service points to the engines are superior. I would like to see how much thought went into this model, mirroring the same.

Wiley, good job on the video. This looks like a very nice cat but the main salon seems tiny when compared to a Lagoon 620. Is that correct ? Second question, would this cat outperform a well prepared Lagoon 620 under sail ?

@catamarancentral

2 жыл бұрын

John, Great questions. With every new generation of catamaran design there tends to be more usable/livable space. The salon on the Lagoon 620 is larger than the salon on this boat. I would argue there is more storage in the P615 salon, but the reality is there is more than enough storage in either boat. I think the 615 would out sail the 620, especially in a heavy sea state/wind state.

What's the point of the 400' of the oversized chain. Seems heavy and unnecessary. The catenary effect has been proven to not affect holding power so it's not helpful there. 100' of chain and the rest amsteel or comparable synthetic would have the same performance and chafe resistance if you didn't want to go full synthetic with synthetic chafe protector sleeves on the bottom.

That interior is terrible. Dining table looks totally uncomfortable in the round seating area is worse. One person sitting there wouldn't be comfortable multiple people you be jammed against each other. Contrast that with a modern 50 foot cat from almost any major manufacturer and it's night and day. Also the angled windows would make that place roast in the tropics. They could easily have squared off this area like it's in a Lagoon and make a ton more usable space. It's not like these boats go so fast that they need to be aerodynamic Was Wiley paid for this? I don't see much objectivity here
