    This catamaran is spacious. And Aquilla didn't waste any of it. Clever layout - nothing is crowded. This is a four season, genuine liveaboard traveling yacht. Room for plenty of clothes, food and stores of all sorts. Pack away a year's supply of everything. Wow. What a cruiser. See the World in the comfort of your own yacht - not an overpriced stateroom on a cruise ship. Aquilla, GREAT job. Nick, a fine tour. Thanks to all.

    @torq1116 Год назад +8

    I always love the space on Catamarans, but I do wonder how they handle rougher seas. I know they roll more than a single hull, I just don't have the experience to know whether it matters that much.
    But yeah, definitely would go with the enclosed flybridge!

    • @michiganengineer8621
      @michiganengineer8621 Год назад +1

      It's not so much a matter of rolling more as it is differently, especially in a full beam sea. Wave goes under one hull, then under the bridge deck then the other hull. Personally I feel the rolling motion less on a cat than on a mono hull of roughly the same size. That's assuming no active stabilization is in use of course.

    Great Vlog👍and great boat with a nice layout and features for a 50 footer.
    FYI: The "Optimus EPS" is Electronic Programmable Steering. You can change how much feedback/feel you get from it, change how many turns of the steering wheel it takes to go "lock-to-lock", set how much effort it takes to steer it, change the speed that the rudders/props/thrusters/outboards/Pods turn and respond at low speed maneuvers to make docking the boat easier, and even have it take different amounts of effort to turn the wheel at different speeds so you get smoother turns and don't send it into a sharp hard turn at higher speeds and knock people around!
