Only the Pelagic is a true Explorer sail boat. All the rest have varying weaknesses that make them dangerous in high latitude big seas (electric motors a joke for long distance, in mast furling dangerous in a big blow, dagger board with bulb dangerous when grounded, catamaran unsafe in ice, etc.). Real Explorer boats are one offs... simple rigs, keels that can take grounding, extra thick metal hulls, no fancy systems to breakdown when you are a thousand miles or more from the nearest help... Explorer boats that don't sail well unless it's blowing hard... so not good in the tropics.

I wouldn't pick any of them over a Kraken

The Amel is for sailing, the Oyster is for pretending

I don't get Garcia with the Catamaran. How do you build an explorer and designa helm station that exposed?

thanks

Weird voice, not for me. Is this an infomecial?

Why can’t you dispense with the elevator music? Can barely hear the description.

30 yrs on monohulls. One crossing in a cat and I will never go back to a monohull.

Amel has protected helm - a must have

Kraken 50 outshines all of these 6. Exposed rudders in ocean cruisers is a risk not worth taking! For these prices, having a double unprotected rudder is like throwing good money after bad.

Sorry to say but I can't make out but 1 out of ever 10 words you are saying from the accordion being so loud.

This would make a nice tender boat. (Bering 77)

Not including a Kraken sailboat in this list is ridiculous. They are probably the safest ocean crossing luxury boat out there

That Explocat looks a lot like the Discovery 50 BINTI (the one with the big dog in the sails)

Oy!

Your mic is making very difficult to hear you with the eco and music. But great information cheers. My father spent 20+ years building a 54ft trimaran best of the best.

3:46 that’s a bit over lol

I love both, but Amel has my vote, love central cockpit, engine room is just genius, watch space at saloon and the huge chart table. The deck is very safe with solid bar ramp. 3 (or 4?) watertight compartments. All technical affairs in one sole engine room! Easy to maintain also in regard to fake teak molded on deck with lasts forever! finally 2 to 300k less expensive then the oyster even with optional carbon mast (which I would not recommend due to low ROI). It's an Amel!

how much of the Garcia exploration45?

pelagic77

Windelo 50 best of all worlds!!!

What about Ocean star 51.2 or 56? Any opinions?

Balance 526❤

I see why you have crazy faces between each boat. It is because you are crazy! How many people will buy a sailboat priced between $800,000.00 and $1.5 million? More power to them but that is not even 1% of the population.

Get rid of the stupid annoying background music, would probably get a lot more views,likes,and subs. Could only make it half way

how about no music

Seascape windows of an Oyster and aft owner cabin. So sweet!

Musik us anoying and high

Great format. I still a Monohull all the way as one does not have to keep a keen eye of weather and look over their shoulder constantly for when to reef. Plus monohull have a, at least heavy displacement designs, more heavy lay up of fiberglass where Cats have minimum lay up in their of glass. That in it safety is a safety attribute for monohulls. Not to mention a true voyaging monohull has a integral keel and well supported rudder with a strong integral skeg with more bearing to prevent it from being snapped off which has sank many weakly built coastal cruisers monohull. Good Monohull recover from knock downs or rolling or pitch polling cats do not. My last comment is anyone considering speed as a plus attribute is missing the whole point of sailing. It is to chill most of the times and enjoy the beauty of the raw wild oceans. If one is concerning speed they should fly where they want to go. Jim Rodgers

Why no metal hull trimerans

Just wondering where the Dutch aluminium monohulls should be classified. They are pretty capable boats for everything.

The vid should have been named - top 6 ... boats YOU were aware of, as there are so many superior blue watee boats out there in these lengths that frankly every and each one of these can be replaced with a better boat... These are more common, more WV-gens of boating, not customs or even semi-customs... Cheers!

A cat cost more. Paying almost 2 the price on most things. And the price on the double slip.

Lagoon is pile of shit.

Nice video but man, lose the annoying music.

Nice review of the various “amenities” these two boats offer, but blue water sailing in about surviving long passages when things go wrong. What’s under the waterline? Being “new” boats I imagine the rigs are in working order, but how resilient are they, can an owner operator work on the furling systems in the middle of nowhere?

What a boat ,Rustler and island packet ❤🎉real cruiser boats al your ship's are good in a harbor save en dry😂

Porn music. Horrible video. Sorry. Nice boat.

NICE WORK !

Thanks, I also was in search of the differences between the two; Explorer and Expedition, you summed it up very well. 👍 Good overall video too.

wikipedia says otherwise. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Dekker solo circumnavigation yes but non stop nope.

For world cruising.. a couple of these are good.. but some of them are questionable.. Remember when sailing around the world, its not a matter of 'if' you get caught in a storm. Its a matter of 'when' you get caught in a storm. I can only imagine sitting at twin rears in 2 or 3 meter seas. Why is the Kraken 50 not on this list? To my knowledge, Krakens are literally the only boat built today that is designed specifically for world cruising.

I love Dicks design philosophy. If I had to critic the boat it would be the low combings in the cockpit, hard to get comfortable . Not crazy about the solent rig , its difficult to get good forestay tension when its split between two stays , they both will sag up wind. Prefer the tried and true cutter with running back stays . We are talking about Blue Water . I dont find the interior all that appealing to much vinyl . And I like straight settess in the main salon one on port one on starboard , they make great sea berths when off shore.

Nah, I only like aluminium catamarans. Or, based on your New York accent, you would say aluminum cats.

Don't know why the PDQ Antares 44 is not in there. Had my 2006 for, 8 years all over the world, never had 10% of the problems of other cruisers, 2 haulouts in 8 years , 1 when bought it and the other to repair damage from hitting something at night

Best video ever

Yes, it is very difficult, I choose Amel

While you MAY be able to get away with winter or spring Artic sailing in the Pacific,, its not wise to do that in regions where there are iceburgs like Newfoundland, Labrodar NE Canada. My practicle Coast Guard experience is there are thousands of bergy bits, house sized ice burg pieces invisible at night in the Western high Atlantic, especially in the Spring. You run into one and your boat sinks.

June 9, 2024. At this point in time the HH44OC with the huge lifting salon windows, hybrid power regeneration capability and carbon fiber hull has to be #1 of the Top 5. I'm influenced, having watched all the "Gone with the Wynns" video's of interviews with engineering, management and skilled artisans at the HH factory over a two years period as HH44OC, hull #3 was being fabricated (no dagger boards) for Jason and Nikki Wynn. HH gained it fame from building big world class carbon fiber racing cats for years and then they decided a couple of years ago to build a line of smaller Cats for the cruising community. What's clear is the carbon fiber technology transfer that happened. Apparently HH only knows how to build high tech boats one way and it's reflected in their beautifully engineered smaller cat versions. Then there's the matter of under way system accessibility, and repairability when you break something during a race. Everything was well thought out for the HH44OC. All electrical, engines and plumbing subsystems have ease of access with ample room for spares swap out. The boat wiring is a work of art with every circuit individuly labeled with indepenent circuits for each hybrid diesel engine that can generate battery power from the spinning props while under sail or use battery power to propel the vessel.
