Sad that the person who can afford this boat will probably have little time
to use it for what it was designed for. Meanwhile what live-aboard cruiser
wouldn’t love to call this their permanent home?
This guy is the best presenter. After watching his videos you really have
an idea of the boat is like. Altho with his accent for a non-english
sometimes I need to rewind sometime to be sure I understood :)
Very nice finish on this Discovery, I only see 2 problems with the boat 1st
the helmsman is left out in the cold during a rain storm or just a cold
night? 2nd problem is it’s a mono hull, why spend most of your sailing
heeled over, unless you have one leg shorter than the other buy a Catamaran
for more space per foot and a level ride. Comes in handy when paying for
moorage fees. A 44 or 45 ft. Catamaran will give you as much space as a 60
or 65 ft. Mono Hull?

We are delivering one at the moment from Jersey to Gibraltar. Very nice
yachts!
This boat seems like a very good performer. Personally, I don’t like her
lines. I feel she’s rather ugly. My big objection, though, is below decks.
Her layout seems very choppy and cramped for a 57 ft boat. I also feel that
there are too many different materials used below. There’s no cohesiveness
to the look. It seems a jumble of various parts rather than a whole. Not
for me. If anyone wants to see a beautiful, classic-looking boat in this
length that also performs very well and has a gorgeous traditional
interior, check the Cabo Rico 56 out. She’s just about my favorite under
60-65 ft.
After you buy a boat like even a 37 Hunter, you’ll start to see the real
America, now lazy and fat and useless Americans are, cept to whine and
bitch. If you need a whiny drunken bitchy crew. They’re good at that. Most
don’t know the difference between a Halyard and a head. By the way, reports
on those compact washer driers are they don’t work either:) Other than
that, this is a great boat.

What happened to the audio right at the moment of the test sail? Kind of a
shame, since that’s the part that I was waiting for.

shame the master cabin’s shower cubicle should be so poky – the guy could
barely turn around.

why is this boat so expensive? you can buy a beneteau sense 55 for waaay
less… and its only a tad bit smaller…

Very nice boat but way too expensive for a 57 footer. I would go for the
AMEL 55 with the same equipment and save 300K at least.

It seems all these yacht owners are very innovative at micromanagement.

looks even better . Look forward to sailing one. TVYachts

As always, a very well-done video. What an incredible yacht, amazing
performance, and thoughtful design. Want!
