€800K for the the base spec, i.e. before she's fully fitted out with water maker / safety equipment / etc. Crazy money. Tiny galley, no technical room, and really not much interior volume at all. A couple of years ago you reviewed the Alubat OVNI 370 with a price tag of €280K+ taxes which so much ore interior volume. That would get my vote every time.
It's an aluminum sail boat intended for northern climates so I imagine some sort of foam insulation is grafted to the hull taking up volume. If they didn't insulate then the inside of that boat is going to be wet, wet, wet the moment they have to use heat.
@@Nozzall the cross section of the two boats is very different, especially in the bow. Both boats have insulated hulls but the Ovni has significantly greater volume.
It looks like a giant frying pan, but what a frying pan! It also looks to be absolutely solid. And the interior is quite nice, cosy and traditional. I've been looking into these yachts for quite a while and it pleases me to have Toby Hodges' take on it, albeit a curtailed take, as it happened, due to lack of conditions. Can't wait to see further reviews on these fascinating boats. Cheers.
Nice classic start into the New Year with your nice presentation....on a historic day when the Six Ultime trimarans left Brest for the first round the globe single handed incredible historic race!
Look forward to every single video Toby. Really wish you would start uploading in 4k in the future. The video quality of these videos is too good not to be shown in all its glory. Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work!
2:27 I'm gonna tell you right now that the top is not sandblasted aluminum, as sandblasted aluminum looks completely different. The top deck has a texture coating on it. You can see the raised edge along the clean cut seem.
Seems strange to have a hanging locker for wet weather gear that isn’t a wet locker. Is the idea to hang the clothing to dry somewhere else then transfer it to the « dry » locker - people will have to be very disciplined ! Having said that what a great boat, love it !
Loving the combo of old school metal boats with space age friction rings and dyneema👌 My only worry with metal is internal condensation and ensuring there are ways of getting it off the boat, but otherwise that’s a nice boat!
Cork is very effective and safe its also very light and renewable. Its also naturally resistant to mould and bacteria... Basalt needle matting is also safe and effective if you can get a supply. The other trick that works is to add slow low noise and pressure computer fans to mushroom hatches and force air through the boats storage areas when in use or stored.... The airs forced behind and under the inner fittings and helps move the moisture out. You can close them off under sail. Although there are heat exchanging 12v domestic fan units designed for bathrooms and kitchens that might fit in a locker 🤔 That might be worth a try on an older boat.
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 Sure thing. We used closed cell foam very effectively on our steel ketch and it’s lasted for 12 years ok, and I suspect will outlive me. It’s forgotten areas like the lazarettes and lockers though. They’re not insulated and will experience temp differentials between outside / inside, thus producing condensation. In an ideal world, that would run down behind the stringers and be pumped out via bilge pump, but it’d be far easier just to insulate the area instead…
@@PN_48 Yes insulating the whole hull is the ideal.. it saves energy both ways reduces noise something that we forget especially in a metal hull. The problem with sealed cell foam spray is ...its not cheap its made from hydrocarbons... It degasses some nasty chemicals and it sheds plastics into a closed environment . The other big problem is in the event of a fire many foams and plastics will burn or emit thick black toxic smoke. That will kill a person very quickly. Cork is naturally fire resistant its ised to clad the outside of buildings in Southern Europes fire belt and can be treated to resist even a blow torch without harmful toxic smoke emissions .. its also more abrasion resistant . There are office buildings that use it as flooring where it has to withstand stiletto heals passing every day. Basalt is incredibly good as a thermal chemical radiation and water and mould resistant it also doesnt form harmful shed particles. The Other group of materials that can be considered are flax, jute and hemp fibers. Chain lockers are an obvious place where they need a liner that keeps metals separated and to reduce noise. One other point, with the advent of chemically structurally modified timber like Inventwoods ..MettelWood.. or Accoya you may find that wood becomes a substitute for Al Car on fiber or even steel.. with natural insulation and even the ability to substitute for glass but keeping the strength and insulation of wood .. If you reduce the thermal gradient and bridging you reduce the condensation risk and the energy needs of the vessel in both cold and hot climates. Its an area that needs more attention and design material alternatives. 🧙♂️ 👍🏼
On deck it gets hot at noon (wear sandals), inside cooler than your typical grp boat because of all the insulation. Consider that this boat wasn’t built by dykstra for the tropics, but for the waddensea and scandinavia.
I spent a week on an aluminium sailboat like this. On a summer day, alu boats get hot on that deck to the point you can not walk bare feet ... inside is warmer in comparison to a white grp with minimal insulation. In winter, alu boats must have insulation for condensation (which can create havoc) and temperature topics. alu builds require vertical and horizontal frames, that take space from the interior which is typically filled with insulation...with a nice convection heater is really nice and warm inside.
Nice sailboat.. love it.. but.. -- QUESTION -- Why is the transom like that @00:22 where it looks impossible to climb onto. The old Garcia 43/46 had a large flat sugar scoop type transom that worked so so well. Kinda wish this did to. Is there a reason to have that type of old style transom on it?
For remote area sailing the manual nature of so much of this boat is a big plus. Far fewer moving parts to fail, far fewer electric motorised parts to fail. Looks amazingly tough and when the shite hits the fan you’d feel comfortable in this boat. The massive price is immaterial as this is a one off custom design as Toby mentioned. What sort of price do you put on that?
Undoubtedly metal is a nice building material from an environmental perspective ... but %99 of people do not need an aluminium hull ... this is why the market is so small and these boats are soooooo custom and therefore soooo expensive. nice one Toby.
Muitos argumentam que é um barco muito caro e concordo q é mesmo, pelo menos pra 99% da população mundial. Mas tem alguns pontos: a possibilidade de encalhar em segurança, o tamanho reduzido que permite acesso a pequenos portos, a aparente maior facilidade de navegar solo, a robustez e funcionalidade de cada peça, isso pra não falar no motor elétrico com possibilidade de gerar energia. Barco dos meus sonhos
über solid ship, but frankly narrow inside, small layout, limited view from inside, no doghouse, no real space for the technical room ... for €800K , Alubat / Garcia / Boreal are a much more logical proposal to me. Even if they were more expensive
Marvelous ll and deck design and construction. But WHY are all the builders employing swept back spreaders on short-handed cruising boats? It just makes going downwind much less effective and constantly demands using spinnakers of some sort. My old fashioned vessel with a 9.3 meter waterline can beat much bigger Beneteaus when the wind pipes up from astern because I can let my sails out for efficiency.
This is just too agricultural for my type of sailing. As with comparing a traditional Landrover to a Toyota Landcruiser, there will be fans for each, but I will take the Landcruiser every time.
There are 'expedition' boats, and then, there is this: - what looks like an unfinished 'hirsuit' Neanderthal boat, rough with weld-seams and quorters that an experienced jailbird might find uncomfortable. This boat would likely suit best what in the US is called "preppers" - i.e. individuals actively planning to battle zombies during apocalypse. Having seen Garcias and Allures, methinks an expedition boat does not have to be such an unfinished tin-can - especially for such money, because, yes, the deck might get uncomfortably warmish if this tub ever sails south of the fortieth paralell... Perhaps this is an arctic-ocean 'special', or for the connoisuers of maso-kinky pursuits? - Just wait until that aluminum locker door closes on a finger...
Aluminum doesn’t absorb water like fibre glass, no gel coat to be scratched, easy to repair, it can be painted, but doesn’t have to be. If this boat was built in volume, the price would drop
the Bestevaer yachts could do with some help from Van Destadt design office in respect of their pilot house. a block / turret ( in today's world) is a failure.
"Packed with interesting ideas and features" and at least one absolutely dreadful one... The swim platform that you have to lower down to get access to the life raft looks like an awful design idea to me. So many things could prevent you from getting the life raft out of its compartment.
Very poor interior layout. The functional concept of the rest of the boat has gone berserk on the interior. Silly galley, silly head, and silly many things really. Also, what happens with condensation in some parts of the interior? Is that why the head is so small? Go back to the drawing board with someone who is not from your company. Nice try Tobes. The boat has some quite functionally appealing ideas, but these people are a little too introverted and need some help. Forget that silly dagger keel for a start. People might like to sail upwind.
Ah @thomaselliott573 - it's been a while - I've missed you! It's very well insulated, the builders have done a few aluminium boats now. And I'd be interested to see you take your back to the drawing board and centreboards don't go upwind thoughts to Gerry Dykstra - again, a designer who knows a thing or two!
So electric drive right?.so what Do you gain from that.have to Run the generator on diesel To the batteries to the drive Unit.just have a diesel engine Straight to the propellor. Then shouldn't need the Unsustainable batteries. Not need them and don't Have to dump them in a few years .I don't get it , somebody Explain?
The Oceanvolt motor has regen, so it charges the batteries while sailing. Then you charge the batteries with the solar panels. In a marina you charge with shore power. So the generator is the backup of the backup of the backup.
Looks real easy to single hand, looks like a perfect boat for someone who wants to explore the world.
AS LONG AS THEYRE BUCKS UP!!
I love Bestevaers, such beautiful lines...
What a fantastic yacht. I agree; seeing all the boat reviews in rough weather would have been interesting. Cheers.

Just got to the part of the video where he explains that they use cork on the hull and wool sandwiched between the aluminum and linoleum up top.

Another great video! Thanks for sharing this boat with the world.
such a cool boat Toby, great to see you again bud. best wishes in the new years
Thank you - and happy 2024 to you too!
Now that is a lovely boat!
4:47 - looks like the thru hull for the raw water intake is attached to a pipe that extends (i'm guessing) above the waterline. Very cool.
Best Cool Aluminium Yacht⚡My Yacht !
I'll buy my lottery ticket then! in the mean time our Rival 34 will suit us very well. 🙂
Watching « The Sailing Brothers » who are now on the other side of the world a Rival 34 seems more than adequate.
Very nice sailing boat! I like the open plan layout. I guess the generator is to power the electric drive.
Toby, no apologies needed. Just come back with a second review with the designer on board 😊

Consider that this boat wasn’t built by dykstra for the tropics, but for the waddensea and scandinavia.
And the light color won’t soak up as much heat as a dark exterior.
@michaelpimentel8710 not hot and it's insulated!!! Good builders. Would like 40/44 version.

Many nice details on this boat. 👍 I just don't understand the tunnel for the foresheets. What is that supposed to do?
Refreshing!
Designed by sailors for sailors.
Pleasure boat built more like a working boat. Kinda cool.

Unless they can find a way of producing it at a quarter of that price it's destined to be a dead end design.

Presumably they have confidence there is
We shall see

does it have an engine ?
I have to be honest and call this one the Worstevaer 36.

All the amazing thoughtfulness, than your electircal bits are in the wet locker. Why are the low voltage guys always the after thought?

dead downwind is slower and more uncomfortable than broad reaching. simple as that.
There is nothing green about aluminium. Smeltering process has huge energy needs well beyond other materials.
This is just too agricultural for my type of sailing. As with comparing a traditional Landrover to a Toyota Landcruiser, there will be fans for each, but I will take the Landcruiser every time.

Right,but as all things also aluminium has his cons,electrolysis for instance and seen the bad insulation figures it need extensive extra insulation.
It looks like they’ve taken some hull cue designs from the Steve & Linda Dashew
Was just about to write this. Very much like an FPB! Love it.
Extremely small interior for a 36.
Little comfort and huge price. And that rudder is a joke. Heating is a must in the North. A larger model is preferable but then the cost is unreal.
Say more about rudder, please
It looks crazy system to me but anyway
