The boat is as delightful as its name. The front windows are amazing! Perfect for a weekend get away or as a small floating pied-a-terre. I love this boat.
A lot of pluses to this boat to be sure. For a 50 footer, she is fairly highly spec's out. I was surprised that a boat of this length comes with a Bow Thruster, a large horse power engine for its' length with hospital silencer to boot, and even a pump out toilet! I'm sure many may question having a second wash basin, but considering the little room it takes up, perhaps a nice addition, especially if you have the midship doorway closed when having company over. I did notice this boat does not have a wood/coal stove, but it could easily be added to the saloon area either in one of the forward corner areas, or just slide the sofa up a few feet, and build a small hearth onto the end of the galley cupboard, that's what I would do. I always like the boats where the wood stove is located more near the center of the boat, allowing for a more even distribution of heat. Adding solar would be a nice addition as well. About the only real negative I can see here is, a fairly high-time engine, and I would want to get an accurate idea as to the capacity of the water tank. I think this is going to make a very nice boat for the next owner, it has some charm with those unusual windows, and who doesn't love having a bathtub? This would be a great buy for someone who wants to do a few slight alterations, but has a sailaway ready boat from the start.
Dinettes eat up quite a bit of space so when the 50’ do not have one they still have the space of the others. Many 60’ boats are still only one bedroom they have the same features of the 57’ just a bit more space.
@@MichaelsMustang a lot of times the dinette doubles as a second spare bed, but personally for that I would prefer a low 50 foot with a slightly overpowered engine and mate it with a butty that can be towed behind, strapped to the front because it has a V notched stern or powered for short distance with a small trolling motor. Seems like that (although expense) would be an ideal set up with flexibility…. You get the capacity of a 70 boat that can still fit easily in all the locks and if at least two people of your group is ready at the locks you can traverse them quickly
@@MrSheckstr A well thought out reply, I have seen some rather interesting PODs that can be fitted out to individual requirments. I prefer the self inflating double beds if guest accomodation is required, although it all depends on personal choice.

Well, had anything I said on the original posting offended anyone at Rugby Boats, I do apologize. I can't think of anything snide, rude, crass, or nasty I may have written, but all the original comments are gone!
Nothing offensive at all! I made a mistake on the original video (I put an engine bay in from another boat - kindly pointed out to me by someone on here!) so I reloaded it. It would seem that in doing so it deletes previous history.

She is a gorgeous boat even the swans approve of her, I hope you feed them after that free plug, looks as good as last time.

Well done...thank you David Johns for the introduction
Love this boat, i’ll take it next time it’s for sale
For a slightly shorter boat than the norm (i.e. either 57' or even 60') she packs a lot in. Not a bad price either.

Love ir, but if out in multufual burner, solar Lakeland change the toilet system and then it would be perfect.
It seems that the current camera has no image stabilisation, or it is not turned on. The image is a bit shaky. You could look into that..
That's unfortunate the case with all these vids, however He's a broker, not a camaraman.
@@pascalcoole2725 surely even a broker can buy a camera with image stabilisation

Lovely boat, just a bit puzzled why do you never mention the price?
Prices may change and it attracts people to the website.
KZN - this has only been answered about a hundred times.
What's being gay got to do with it?
