    Thank you for the tour of this nice boat ! I have been to Langkawi 30 years ago at the time, the resorts were limited....It's a nice place to sail in the area....I wish all the best for your sail-

      For Langkawi, I'm sure lots has changed in the last 30 years. There is an area with some beach resorts...but we haven't toured it yet. The boat tours (day charters) around the islands seem popular.

    • @onfilandtime
      @onfilandtime  Год назад

      In the tour we are in the western barrier islands of Sumatra, Indonesia. Specifically the Mentawai and Telo island groups.
      We joined the boat in Batam, Indonesia. Near Singapore.

    Where did you get these nice fitting solar panels and was the flyroof aftermarket or option from MC? Thx. Really nice boat. I like the sailing performance and the open space for living

    • @onfilandtime
      @onfilandtime  9 месяцев назад

      Hi! The panels are SolbianFlex, installed by MCB. Flybridge roof was also done by MCB. All from their China factory. Yes she sails very nicely indeed! 👌 Oh and, the panels are all made of the usual square cells. The part you see as "fitted" is the top layer of rubber/plastic that allows us to walk on them.

  • @alexfuller818
    @alexfuller818 Год назад +1

    Very comfortable and impressive. Just a shame bridge and bow hatches are small. You could store all those cushions and many other things.

    • @onfilandtime
      @onfilandtime  Год назад

      Yes the deck hatches are not big. In fairness, the hulls are relatively narrow, at least as compared to production cruising cats, so there's not quite as much room in there for storage as some other boats, but theoretically it is a tradeoff for better performance.

      Most of the time we have it handled with the two of us, but sometimes on longer passages it's nice to have other crew to share watchkeeping.

    • @onfilandtime
      @onfilandtime  Год назад

      @Dany-wp5zu theoretically? I think it could be done solo without too much issue. I probably wouldn't fly the A2 solo, but one could manage everything else with the right setup and knowledge.
      If someone was planning to solo a later version of this model, I would suggest a few minor tweaks only.

    Hardtop is practical but destroys the look of the boat 😢

    • @onfilandtime
      @onfilandtime  Год назад +1

      The hard top is incredibly practical! We love being ale to hide from the sun (and often rain) while being up high with amazing visibility all around. I've seen the 50ft version without it, and have to say I think this version looks pretty sharp also! 👌

  • @Maximo8368
    @Maximo8368 Год назад

    At first blush Without looking or search for your sailing history....quite the unpolished look at your boat. It's like you're stumbling through the various aspects without any foresight. Made it 6 min before I looked for a different video on the manufacturer.

    • @onfilandtime
      @onfilandtime  Год назад

      Hi Maximo, our videos are for family and friends, hence the unpolished look. If other people also want to watch, they are welcome to. We don't get paid for any of our content, it's purely for fun and memories. However we do enjoy chatting with people interested in what we are doing or in the boat. Is there something in particular you'd like to know?

    • @onfilandtime
      @onfilandtime  Год назад

      Kevin would like to add, we don't work for McConaghy, or a yacht broker, and we have no stake in the sales of any of these boats. Definitely if you are looking for marketing material, the MCB website is your best bet.

    • @onfilandtime
      @onfilandtime  Год назад

      A few days ago we went through 45 kts gale force winds with her when crossing the Malaca Strait. She has crossed the South China Sea, and she's doing great! Ocean passages will be coming in the next few years so she's much more than a coastal cruiser! 😉 oh and she moves pretty good too - 17kts SOG so far. ⛵️💨

      @onfilandtime  Год назад +1

      Yes the living space is nice. With the living space above the water line between the 2 hulls it really feels more open than most comparable length monohulls.
