And this is why you’re doing so well Nick - you listen. People have been asking for a sail yacht on your channel and you have delivered! In style, might I add :-)

[@54spatula]

I love boats even more because of this man. Great review once again Nick.

[@charlesleeray8302]

I think the difference between other boat videos and Nick is that Nick shows the vessel and other videos try to sell you the boat. Nick gets excited and enjoys sharing with us.

[@gambanteinodal1246]

This is the perfect 'blue water' yacht - for crossing oceans safely and in comfort! This weekend I visited Ellös, Sweden where they are built and I was impressed by the incredible attention to detail thru the entire yachts. These are built to sail with a family crew but also for the ease of maintenance. Every part that needs servicing - you can reach without having professionals cut the boat open.

[@tacodias]

Nick you’re destroying the videos yachts/boats game! You are now one of the references in KZbin

[@Raysnature]

I like the sentiment but the reality is you need redundancy. Hence an engine.

[@andygillett3165]

What a nice boat Nick. While I prefer motor yachts overall, this would such a relaxing way to spend a week or two around the Med. It had a bigger engine than I was expecting too. Your enthusiasm is becoming contagious :)

[@jaysparc]

Hallberg Rassy makes some of the most beautiful and blue water worthy yachts on the water.

[@niklasloow1995]

Yeah. That most of us never can afford :(

[@robertw.1499]

Saw this boat at the Düsseldorf Boat Show in Germany this year. The first boat I made a B-Line to. Absolutely beautifully built. What you couldn't show in the short time you had is the build quality. She is so finely crafted which is why HR are a premium brand. I compared her to an Oyster yacht, and although I'm English, as is Oyster, the HR is in a league of it's own and leaves the Oyster in the shadows. You can order this with a hard top instead of the canvas biminy, which offers much more comfort and protection. If you ever have the opportunity, visit Amel in France and check out their 60 footer. If I were buying, the choice would be between these two yachts, the HR 57 and the Amel 60 👍

[@michaelellis7787]

Amal 60 is amazing, such a solid and safe design, as indeed the HR. Oyster very good and perhaps a bit more speed orientated.

[@mikesarno7973]

Wonderful boat. The saloon is gorgeous. Amazing comfort in the master cabin with all those seating options. I wouldn't mind spending foul weather days inside. Another great walkthrough. Thank you so much for showing.

[@TillerQueen]

Just beautiful. A dream boat. Practical, comfortable, stylish. Wonderful.

[@alanmorris8783]

What a great yacht. Allows for less crew/less experience/less danger to operate. Love the little barriers either side of the main bed to stop you falling out, when sleeping in weather. I may put them round my bed to help on a Saturday night 😬

[@joshgray4463]

Thanks for doing a sailing yatch video Nick! Hopefully there's more to come. Keep doing a great job.

[@donny0man]

Don's Decorative Pillow Review: Ho hum. Such a beautiful boat and not a single pillow.

[@darrenhudson5503]

Nice sunday morning aquaholics surprise..love the layout..thanks nick

[@carysw8967]

Hurrah for a sailing yacht. I get a sense of peace with these boats that I don't get with moter boats. I'm amazed to see those buttons that sort the sails out

[@jgriff3218]

Really nice boat. Really like lounge area down below deck. Very comfortable seating. Very nice pilot stations and that cold out rear deck is just to cool. Great use of space.

[@user-vn2xg6dq2g]

You should do a tour of the new Hallberg-Rassy 69 - its one of a kind!

[@TheBarnacleBlimp]

That is one good looking yacht. Very well appointed and has my vote. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@jackaubert7750]

Sailing yacht tour done by a pro: Love it. I usually watch "Aquaholic" for the power yachts but I watch "learning the lines" for sailing, still Aquaholic offers the best over all tour!

[@nutronhammernutronhammer]

Excellent Walkthough as ever , Nick. Here's to more sailboat videos in the future.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Wow.Another 40k watching,and learning about all these beautiful ships.141K,Nick.Well done ! (I've tried watching other reviewers,and some I stop before they're done because I just can't stand to watch more)Thank you for always being you,and showing us all the possible areas and features of each ship.Love the morning strolls too.Best wishes to your and your's.

[@The_Real_Zaineman]

Nick, I noticed there's lots of rails & hand grabs though out this yacht. In the ceiling of the cabin, both sides of the stairs, and finally a chrome rail you used to take your last step onto the deck. They're everywhere. There are even 2 hand grabs on the swim platform to help get out of the water. Very smart engineering so passengers can negotiate their way around while underway. The solar panels are a nice touch too. ;)

[@Matusovsky]

Chic Swedish yacht! Everything is thought out to the smallest detail! Thanks for the review! Like it!

[@stu2355]

What a stunning yacht, and video Nick great as always. Maggie I can tell likes this boat alot. just look where she tucked herself in.

[@theresnobodyhere5778]

Some great features on this I love the folding swim deck garage, plus it's fully automated sails at the push of a button that be were all the money and clever design gone into it ,great roomy living and lounge area,s love it

[@VirtanenDK]

This boat, is the definition of a "blue water cruiser". Most of the bigger sailboats have the self furling mast. So you can sail the boat, with 2 people. My own fav boat, has to be the ExploCat 52. With a steel/aluminium Hull, build by García. Really hoping Nick would take a look at the Cat, one-day. Merry Xmas to all ⛄

[@gareth36]

Not my thing sailing but that doesn't stop me appreciating a beautiful vessel like that. First time I've seen the inside of one,granted it's top end stuff but still very impressive.

[@jpski1312]

Really nice boat👍🏼 enjoi ur walktroughs without cuts😄

[@jontallman3878]

With provision stops, you could go around the world with that bit of kit!!

[@RageCage1701]

I wish there were more cold storage aboard; that's one of the things that worries me as far as it's true blue water capacity. There are workarounds for it for sure but it would have been nice for them to include larger refrigerators.

[@RusstafaB]

Wow what a nice boat. Big difference from the Dolphin 31 I sometimes go sailing out on the Solent, with my friend. All the hydraulic rigging seems very state of the art to me. Great video thanks.

[@erinrosehallett]

A stunning looking boat and a wonderful vessel to see the world in, but only if your not afraid of hard work.

[@tjay84]

Love it when you do the occasional sailboat tour.. Wish you could get on a X-Yacht some day.. :)

[@crazyjay7676]

Very good video. I enjoy watching your contents and having a little day dream about a life where I'm not surrounded with kids and work and problems.

[@pogump]

Well Nick,if you make a video tour of a motor yacht, boat and or ship,or over this very nice sailing boat/yacht,you always make my day and make me feel very good.Cheers Nick, already looking forward to your next video. :) :)

[@krisushi1]

Surprised at the amount of space below, nice and simplistic. Good sized galley too. Maybe we'll see more sail boats with automated rigging like that. Very nicely done.

[@operator0]

Automated rigging is becoming much more common on higher end boats like this, but it seems that most other manufacturers are utilizing electric furling rather than hydraulic like this HR. I wonder which is better?

[@krisushi1]

@@operator0 I have no idea sorry. My specialty is Recreational Vehicles on land, not water. Not to say I wouldn't love both. I just think that more people would look at purchasing sail boats if the rigging was automated rather than put up manually. I've been sailing previously and love the experience but the thought of putting up that rigging manually would definitely turn me off. You stated that most manufacturers use electric furling so there must be a good reason why. Sorry I couldn't help.

[@steveSmith-pd4st]

Thanks for the variety of yacht reviews Nick, sailing boats aren't really my thing, but very interesting all the same.

[@kevinlytle6215]

Thank you for the sailboat walk-through! More sailboats please! I wish you had more time on this lovely sailboat. There were many items we would have liked to see a bit more of. I noticed UMA in the next position on the dock. It is the boat from Sailing UMA you tube channel. They just crossed the Atlantic to be at the show.

[@holgervoigt4315]

I guess my age is showing, but I somehow cannot get used to sailing with push button controls for the sails and rigging. Where is the fun of handling all the sailing stuff? In retrospect I really wonder how we got along twenty years ago without all that....

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Such a far cry from my own HR experiences. The trusty 342 with tiller steer and hanked on fore sails aiming for the navigational challenge of East Cowes Marina. Crewed and skippered by what can only be termed the cast of The Last of The Summer Wine. That's includes me as one of the grumpy opinionated sixty somethings. And marvellously you sat on one of the "Terry Toronto" seats at the close of your video. Another excellent peek into the world of what ifs and maybes. If my friend Mr P is watching; "twin wheels Steve, what's not to like!" Excellent video as ever and compulsive viewing.

[@harbourdogNL]

Ha! I'm sure that was a grand time you had!

[@PhilbyFavourites]

@Townie: You're so right Townie. It goes to show that it's not the size of the boat but the size of the heart of your friends! Big boats won't bring you happiness, but big hearted friends will. I see many a lonely skipper on the bridge (truly never seen a female skippering - prove me wrong someone) of a stunning piece of kit and wonder where their friends are - they can't all be below mixing cocktails 🤓🤓🤓🤓

[@yonatanbenavraham6598]

Very nice monoran but I prefer catamarans for sailing. I have crewed on many big monorans when I was younger and loved racing. This is a lovely example of a great cruising boat, thank you Nick!

[@aussiesurfer805]

now we're talking Nick !! more my style .. nice boat - thanks for the walk through ..

[@linusack9455]

Sailing Uma an other youtube chanel in front of the yacht.. @4:57.. Neat! Good chanel aswell! As always, thanks for the great video, always nice to dream away and watching your videos!

[@andrewlabat9963]

Stunning example of quality and a well laid out blue water cruiser.

[@LemuriaGames]

Love that you're doing more sailboats. Thanks for that !

[@espenliebak6875]

Serious quality boats thoose Hallbergs :) So nice, love the bading platform and the garage. Thx for a very nice video with a "normal" boat size ; )

[@ocoffman]

Great review of a beautiful yacht. Thanks Nick

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

That's the first uncluttered and welcoming mono hull sail boat I've ever seen! I'm not a sailor, but that boat would prompt me to become one. Absolutely beautiful!

[@Caravaca442]

Truly an amazing sailing yacht

[@miamatti]

Great choice of boat nick!!

[@patrickbrookings]

Very nice, and classy as you said. I see it also has some solar panels there, cool :)

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Love the saloon on this one!

[@WoWdropzone]

Beautiful boat! I love the seating and planning area. Sold!

[@_RTheBruce]

Hallberg Rassy really is the Ferrari of sailing yachts

[@user-daviddog]

That was really a cool boat. Like watching your videos. Hope you show more Sail Yachts.

[@JDK73772]

Man I haven't a clue how to sail a boat but this thing is nice enough to make me want to learn. I know its out of your wheel house, but if you ever have the chance to pop into one of the nicer sailing Catamarans I would love to see one of those as well.

[@operator0]

Go watch Sailing La Vagabond. It's the most popular Sailing channel on youtube with over 1 million subscribers. They sail a 45 foot Outreemer Catamaran. Sailing Zatara sails a Privalige 585 catamaran.

[@strongdan1]

Beautiful I have been waiting for you just finished my gym work

[@simonford8070]

More sailing yachts please. Great review as usual.

[@Ton-gm3lf]

Thank you for the nice documentary

[@music-man]

The Hallberg Rassy is the Benchmark for Blue water ocean Going yachts. Magnus Rassy is also a very Cool person to meet and it shows how proud he is of his boats. This yacht can take it all. From the Brit living in southern California x

[@jeeper5264]

great video as usual Nick!...nice to see something different

[@Heywoodthepeckerwood]

Very nice sailboat. Great tour. Thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@CharleyGeorge]

It is a fabulous yacht for sure

[@Kennethah81]

I´m not really that interested in sailboats but now Im having secound thoughts! I really like the layout on this thing, especially that huge salon under deck.

[@operator0]

You should watch some of the sailing VLOGS on youtube. For similar sized monohulls, you can watch Distant Shores or Sailing SV Delos. There are lots of other sailing channels on youtube as well featuring all types and sizes of sail boats.

[@Kennethah81]

@@operator0 I really should get around to doing just that, tough I´ll probably stick to motorboats for the foreseeable future. After going from 42 knots top speed to 9 knots top speed I miss being able to get a bit further out from home base on day trips, but who knows what the future brings. You certainly get a lot more space for the money on a sail boat than a motor boat.

[@cliffbateman6324]

Thanks for another concise and informative review, now all we need is for you to swing a Spirit Yacht review or even a boatyard tour now that would be something.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It sure would!

[@AndoCommando1000]

It’s soooo much wood! I know that the level of interior woodwork is supposed to indicate luxury and fine craftsmanship…but (unpopular opinion) for me, that amount of endless woodwork reminds me of the sort of decor when your grandparents stopped renovating their house back in the 50s. People rave about Hallberg Rassy woodwork but to me, it just looks hyper-dated. Prefer Oyster or Amel (in terms of interior decor).

[@voxmortis5636]

Thank you for this :D I really was looking forward to stuff like that.

[@sonnydelight5737]

Thanks! I've never seen the inside of a large sailing vessel. 3:48 - The cost and hassle of overhauling that engine would give me nightmares. LOL

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

Did you notice the hinged stairs? They lift up to allow full access to the main engine compartment as well. Lots of access.

[@The_Real_Zaineman]

@@challenger2ultralightadventure Nice catch Peter ! But back to Sonny's point, reminds me of 4 words my dad taught me "Pay the nice man"

[@operator0]

Boats are expensive and require a lot of maintenance, and sail boats are no exception. That being said, sail boats, ideally, don't put many hours on their engine. A typical diesel engine this size should be good for 7000 hours or so before it needs an overhaul. It could take 10 to 20 years to get to those numbers, depending on how much you use it. It's certainly true that this boat could do as many as two circumnavigations before the engine needs that kind of attention, which would be about 10 years at a leisurely cruising pace. Of course, there are other things to break on a sail boat. The sails, for one, will need replaced a few times before the engine does. Winches, navigation equipment, pumps, all the typical boat stuff. Remember though, the bigger the boat the more it's going to cost to fix. Many cruising sailors sail around the world on boats much, much smaller than this one. Think 34-38 foot. Those are very common sized sail boats to see cruising around the world. Once you get down to those sizes, the expenses drop dramatically. The comfort also drops, but the capability is generally still there. If you're interested to see how a couple sails on the cheap on a smaller boat, check out Sailing Uma on KZbin. There are lots of other sailing vlogs on KZbin as well, including a foursome that sail on a boat the size of this Hallberg-Rassy called Sailing SV Delos. There's even a guy sailing a 31 foot boat with NO MOTOR. His channel is called How To Sail Oceans and he has circumnavigated the world in that boat.

[@didgerb72]

I can see the two cranes ftom my old Army unit. 17 Port and Maritime Regt RCT (Now RLC). I miss being at sea. I loved sailing on the River Itchen, and Southampton Water growing up as a kid. I'm not a sailing boat fan in truth. I prefer a power driven vessel. Probably from my time serving on Army Landing Craft, Mexeflote Rafts, and Small fast boats etc. I loved being bosun on the RCL landing Craft, but as an old Mexedog Seaman. My heart is a Mexedog. Nice yaght though. With a nice bright interior, letting in good light.

[@machess2075]

I live 10 min from there they build hallberg rassys. I was one of the first to see the hallberg rassy 57. Me and like 10 others :).. well almost everyday I see Magnus(the CEO) sailing by my house with his 57 :)

[@deezostrong6303]

Simply clean and beautiful

[@ezradaiquiri11311]

Yes, please do more sail boats, catamarans, thing that don't need gas but have it as an option and have great spacious and sustainable living capabilities. Thank you 🙌⛵⚓🏝

[@cbarak72]

Why is that thing so damn expensive? 1.4M for a used under 60 foot sailboat seems like an exuberant amount of money.

[@Sheppey05]

Karamitsos I was thinking exactly the same!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It's brand new

[@sNaKeBiTe6788]

Hallberg Rassys are also built to last forever. Quality-wise they are at the top end and are not really comparable to your good-weather sailing boats like Bavaria or Beneteau. This boat will handle everything you throw at it and with proper care will last 30+ years.

[@operator0]

I'll echo what sNaKeBiTe said. HR are well known in the cruising world as a manufacturer that builds bullet proof tanks that can weather almost anything. These boats have an unmatched reputation for quality and safety. You can buy a similar sized Amel for closer to 1 million, a manufacturer with a very good reputation, but not as good as HR, which is evident in the price tag.

[@nicbennett6554]

Sailing isn’t for me, but that is stunning! Thanks Nick.

[@diamond2069]

Very nice boat! Good job as usual on the tour Nick👍 If you ever get a chance could we get a tour of the Ocean Alexander 90R please?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'll try!

[@diamond2069]

@@AQUAHOLIC Thank you!

[@mboyer68]

I think HR boats have the absolute best cockpit design. Plus they've moved the engine forward and have the gen set forward of the engine. It makes for a perfect owners/master cabin. That's a similar layout as the 40. HR boats are the best layout and quality. I want one! That boat is just under 3X the cost of the 40. You could buy two HR 40's and have $450k in the bank compared to that 56. I don't understand that? Doesn't make any sense...it's like the bigger the boat, the more profit they make.

[@gmcjetpilot]

If doing long distance world sailing, range not an issue and the cost savings in fuel would pay for itself in a world trip... love the modern layout, powered solo controls. Great value.

[@christophervilliers8395]

That is mint and the size is very good.the wood is fab to.

[@ob1athome912]

It makes me want to get my boat on the water hopefully the next season !

[@fredwallinder3543]

For that price you should get a Yanmar and Miele. Stunning boat, but my personal favorite is Amel 60. More protection when you cross oceans.

[@woodstocknun]

its all compromises. the HR 57 might not have the same protective center cockpit, but underway the interior space is much better suited for longer journeys than the Amel, in my opinion.

[@daniellauper8115]

Nice to see you once on a sailboat. How about a multihull sail? Your videos are just great!

[@jano1415]

Hey Aquaholic, I would not hate Hallberg Rassy they always done a perfect job, but I can't finde the 1,4 million Pounds. No Hate!! If I compare it to the Bavaria C57 , it is much worst. The Bavaria have a nicer cocpit ( larger and with couchens...) and a brither and much more modern Salloon. For "only" 400.000 Pounds I think. So where are the differences, wich make the R57 so much more expensive? Greats from Germany. I love your videos.

[@paulchambers6657]

That’s a beauty for sure

[@catavar9921]

What stops me from buying one of these (used... I'm not made out of money) is the idea of combining sailing with nice interiors like this. Imagine stomping around the cabin in your foulies and 10 bft outside coating your decks with the grimy water of the English Channel.

[@T2roxT2]

Just wow. Love the style

[@johnharrison2741]

Let me start by saying that I am a fan of all of your content on this channel. I appreciate that you are a motor boater and that your walkthroughs are geared towards accommodation and engines, however, yacht sailors are interested more in other areas; the hull shape, keel, single or twin rudder, furling arrangements, reefing set up, code 0 or spinnaker, anchor, cockpit layout etc, etc I know that all of this information is on the manufactures website, but if you want to attract the sailing audience you should try and add more detail. Lovely yacht by the way!

[@marksalminen7050]

I'm sure with more experience doing narrated videos on sailing yachts you'll understand more of what a good tour encompasses.. That being said, what a beautiful sailing yacht this is.. Thank you for including it in your tours.

[@operator0]

Well, It seems like Nick isn't a sailor (as in sail boats). He's really a power boat kind of guy. I would think you'ld need someone who has sailed offshore for a few months to understand what's really important in sailboat design. That being said, it's nice to see him introduce so many of his viewers to sailboats, viewers who may not have ever seen a sailboat up close before.

[@marksalminen7050]

@@operator0 .. I totally agree. He produces such comprehensive videos of power boats, they are a joy to watch. I applaud him for expanding his horizons..

Two things missing , the most important is zero water tight doors below as per AMEL also fixed davets for the run around a folding one on this price of yacht is not on. Would like just one centre wheel also .

[@killerfunghoul3948]

Nice boat. Nick, if there’s any good expedition trawlers down there (doesn’t need to be a Nordhavn e.g. a Privateer or something else) could you swing a tour on one (or two in one video for comparison)? Would love to see what the differences are and if there’s anything that out does Nordhavn 😁 Cheers

[@thedestroyer3262]

Yes I always love explorer/edpedition boats. I'd love to see a Bering yacht tour since they look like a Nordhavn but they have a steel hull instead of fiberglass and a more modern interior than you find on Nordhavn

[@killerfunghoul3948]

TheDestroyer32 yes I’ve seen those Bering trawlers, those are nice. Have you seen the Numarine 26XP? 😍. Only downside of that make is they’re fibreglass hulls. But wow are they sexy... not usually a thing you can say about trawlers lol. It’s as if someone explained a trawler to an Italian designer and Numarine is what they came up with, something that wouldn’t look out of place at Monaco 😂 I live in Scotland so I’d love to see some boats that could stand up to the North Sea and be able to be built WITHOUT a bloody fly bridge or at least a soft top Bimini at a push. All the Nordhavn boats I’ve seen so far are good, and well thought out, but there’s other boats too. I’d love to see Nick tour them.
