Interesting Sailboats

Hey Pogo, your lines are running over the solar panels. That's why you may not be getting full rated amps from them. Nice boat, and thanks for sharing! The blog is difficult to post in, though. Cheers, Hans.

well, go ahead with that list. I will be more than happy to pay the first round (the second is on you).

I must admit that there are many tempting choices out there, so one never knows what might happen in the future.

Enjoy your sailing!

Thanks,

I'll see you there, Paulo.

Not sure if Malo decksalon models have been mentioned here.
MALÖ SEMI CUSTOM

The new Vision line of Bavaria has been posted about before. I was looking at the tech specs and was surprised to find only 25% ballast on both models. Seems a little weak for a purposed cruiser. Any thoughts?

You got me there: Malo DS

Well, what can I say, they have to build what the clients want.

MALÖ SEMI CUSTOM

I cannot say I like the idea.

Regarding the ballast, it is about average on a mass production boat with a bulbed keel and about 2.00m draft. Bigger boats tend to less a smaller B/D ratio than smaller boats.

To have more ballast ratio you have to look for a more sportive boat or for a dedicated bluewater cruiser even if those, due to increase in draft and ballasted bulbs are also coming down in B/D ratio, but not in RM.

New boat from Bavaria, substituting one of the most popular boats of their line, the 32/33.

The 32/33 was a great boat with lots of interior space and relatively fast. This one as about the same weight and ballast ratio of the previous model but the underbody keel and ruder are more modern and efficient. It looks good to me: a lot of boat for the money.

I'm with Paulo there. As much as I like Malo the DS models do absolutely nothing for me. All in all I simply cannot understand having all that glass but you still cannot see out when sitting down in the saloon.

Now you don't need to be really rich to own a Vismara: they have made a small boat, a 34ft. I bet it will not be cheap but what a boat

Kind of a speedy weekend cruiser, daysailer. Gorgeous boat.

Wow ... anchoring could be something of a problem but for a daysailor ... oh yes.
