    I really think going off shore in a boat with twin unprotected spade rudders is a bad idea . Its just a risk that you don't have to take . Not crazy about bolt on keels either. Also im a little tired of only seeing the interiors of boats. whats beneath the water line and its construction is truly what makes a bluewater boat.

    Not a completely fair comparison - the Amel 60 is a big step in size. For me, it's a choice between the HR 50 and a Kraken 50 (not even in the video). Similarly priced and both suited to global blue water ventures.

    A Bavaria 57 in standard trim is not really a blue water yacht. If you equip it with optional generator, watermaker, airco and a true ocean going sailplan. Price will quickly come close to that of blue water cruisers that comes standard equiped with all of that.

    Dude you got some serious work to do if you want to make this work. you say your top 6 world cruising monos, yet you only show 5 and of those, two would be classed more as a coastal cruiser rather than a serious world cruising contender. Leave the music out, it adds nothing to the viewing experience. I wish you well. Good luck.

    There are 6 boats shown in the video: 0:38 - Hanse 460 2:04: - Hallberg Rassy 50 3:30 - Oyster 495 5:11 - Dufour 530 6:51 - Bavaria C57 8;37 - Amel 60 It seems the KZread Ai is not infallible the chapter breakdowns have missed the Dufour 530 after the Oyster 495 and miss named a couple of other boats as well. The Hallberg Rassy, Oyster and Amel all have significant blue water pedigrees and the Dufour 530 and Bavaria C57 are pretty big to be considered coastal cruisers. The Hanse 460 was named the European Yacht of the Year for 2022 which suggest it has more ability than just coastal sailing and so I guess we are going to disagree. The idea of reviewing boats is to identify which suits your type of sailing and needs and so if you think a boat isn't suitable to cross oceans then you should buy a different boat. Thanks for the comment.

    I think the ideal size for world cruising is between 45 and 50 feet. Gives good speed and enough room for comfort. The Amel 60 has great sailing systems to enable short handed sailing and it size would make it very comfortable at anchor and this would make it attractive to some.

    @@crazyaboutboats6901 Yes they would make for some nice cruising. Spacious, longer hull providing more hull speed, etc. But they are also more costly. Initial purchase cost, maintenance and upkeep, dockside, etc and one simply does not need all that space and cost for a couple cruising around. But everyone opinion will vary. And this is kind of my main point, you appealed to only one portion. Attractive to some, not attractive to all. FYI: Amel 60 is not even in your own specified ideal size :/

    @@kevinfisher1345 “too expensive” and “one does need so much room” are terribly subjective, in fact, I cannot think of anything more subjective than cost and size requirements. There are pros and cons to larger yachts, just as there are with monos vs multi, hull material, furling options and everything else yacht related. Whether you doing this at age 30 or 55 makes a huge difference in both factors. Point is one man’s westsail 32 is another’s amel 60. My wife and I are shoving off long term shortly after the conclusion of next school year, we are still going back and forth on yacht choice but it will be much more like the Amel 60. Why? Because I would not be going if I tried the westsail, or even a 40 footer… or anything that did not allow for certain guest and comfort (both volume and motion) requirements. Point is- best yacht is the one that gets you out there, and after that it’s all just gravy (I personally prefer gravy with 10kt hull speeds)

    @@sstroh32 Have you tried maintaining a typical production 60 footer just the two of you? Even just keeping it in half presentable condition? Of course, if you hire most of it out, take crews for longer passages, and have a service agreement with someone, that's all moot. But otherwise, $2.5million, in a typical "more is better" production boat; buys you an absolutely insane amount of stuff which needs inspection, maintenance, upkeep, cleaning and keeping on top of. Living at anchor in the outer back-of-beyonds indefinitely, is not going to be easy. While at the same time, the explosion in boat sizes over the past decade, means Marinas are still mostly left far behind, wrt available slip sizes. So then you have an additional full time job lined up, arranging for slip space wherever you go..... Big boats are best left for those travelling with a crew. Or for short term charters. Let someone else, who gets paid to do so, deal with all the futz and logistics. A fair share of the The "Amel market": Dedicated, specific-time-set-aside, route planned, circumnavigators, is arguably where some extra size makes the most sense. Those guys live on the boat for two to three years full-time; make long, open ocean passages one after the other; and tend to be extremely well prepared. But that's a rather specific niche. For most, it's honestly not much different from camping: You CAN go far into the wilderness while bringing all the amenities of a luxury condo. It's just an insane amount of work schlepping it all there. To the point where, for most of those who have tried, it's preferable to instead get used to just a tent, mat and sleeping bag.
