@@AQUAHOLIC I've been meaning to ask, is there a reason why sailboats often have wooden finish just about everywhere unlike the other yachts for instance azimut and princess etc?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

@@xClooood It's all about customer demand, I think sailboat customers are perhaps a little more traditional.

[@xxJohnxx77]

My preference usually is with motor-yachts, but this is definately a great sailing boat! I really like the upstair saloon, as well as the foldable shades over the rear table. They also took a diffrent approach to most sailing boats by adding very large windows to both bedrooms, which is very welcome in my opinion. Definetly a great yacht!

[@sandeepkumarsingh4567]

[@aniketmazumdar4637]

Loved the boat. Could be an unpopular opinion, but I think the only thing missing from this to make it a complete boat, is a steering control at the inside control station. I don't know if it could be fitted by owner requirements.

[@koomaj]

Lovely layout! This really is a great all-weather sailboat.

[@FlesHBoX]

Did this one have the cellar? I think I've only ever seen one video where they show off the cellar on these things. Maybe it was a one off option for a specific owner or something. I'm so torn on the Moodys. On one hand I absolutely love how spacious and well laid out the interiors are, but on the other hand, it really does feel like they stuck a mast and a couple of helms on a motorboat. I love center cockpit and deck saloon boats though. Definitely a fan of the Amels and Najads, and for a deck saloon I think I would be happiest with a Sirius. They manage to have a spacious saloon with a ton of light without sacrificing that "sailboat" feel. I would never turn down a moody, of course, but I think for my money, I would have to go with a Sirius.

[@TheIdontcarewhat]

Inside this boat underneath the DS there is MASSIVE storage, which is really great on a sailing boat. Also all lines are led back to each helm station, makes it really feasible to single hand this boat.

[@g9rud]

OMG what have I just seen, I want one, that is just amazing a brilliant concept. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

[@bluegrasskid4835]

While your yacht videos are my favourites, this was great also.

[@olddigger7933]

Great tour of an interesting yacht. The layout offers the same advantages as a catamaran saloon without having to be in the 55+ foot range to get the same hull width and corresponding cabin space as this yacht offers.

[@gervers]

Love the Sail boat tours! Please keep them coming along with any catamarans! Part of me would love the unrestricted range of a sailboat but then the lazy, luxurious side kicks in for a yacht!!!! In fairness, I’m unlikely to purchase either!!!! 😂

[@notjamesstockdale3563]

1. I think having the galley on the deck is an excellent design. 2. Impressive interior space for a 41. The hull looks very beamy. 3. The second cabin is under the mess area, but I guess there isn't anything beneath the galley. The hull aft is very shallow compared to forward, so the boat is probably a bit faster than one might expect from the beam.

[@trafficsnitch3505]

[@lewissouth]

Nice Sailing Yacht!

[@tal0ndarktalon637]

I generally prefer centre cockpit boats, but these Deck Salons are really nice. Great for high latitudes, with a useful design for keeping warm. Also great for low latitudes with a lovely area to keep air conditioned while being able to enjoy the views. Like a cat in a way. Another nice thing, is good access to the engine, not always as simple on some sail boats. The Aquaholic tour makes it even better.

Nick, if you ever make it back to the United States, along with the boats in Miami, Florida, would you consider reviewing House Boats? Cumberland Lake in Southern Kentucky is the House Boat capital of the world with several House Boat manufacturers in that area. Some of them are amazing and I bet your channel would be entertained by an Aquaholic video on them. If this is something you would like more info on, I can get you in touch with someone in that industry. I am in Louisville, not too far from Cumberland Lake.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I fear that it will be a while before I'm able to visit the USA again. I hope not, but I think it will be, sadly.

Add a washer dryer combo, a water maker and a gen and its complete. Go anywhere for as long as you want to. Great boat. Liked it. Unique layout. Great for families and couples. But perfect for single person sailing. You can go make a sandwich and still see all around you.

[@operator0]

Gen and water maker are an options, as well as a dishwasher. What Nick didn't show is the enormous storage room for supplies underneath the galley floor boards. More then enough room for a combo dryer/washer, but I'm not sure how you could get it down there.

[@alikhan.sapargaliyev]

I was also wondering that :)

[@davidfmelbourne3473]

That is such a nice yacht. So many features that I really like, including the two jib furling layout. Interior is excellent and the deck saloon layout works so well. The only tiny thing I wondered about was what I assume was the boom vang in the black cover at about 5:10 in. It looks as though it potentially scrapes the cabin roof. It also looks like the rope runs are very well laid out. Are the winches electric? If so, single-handing looks viable as well. Sometimes that's very useful.

[@michaelterwilliger7662]

Looks like you could take that support beam to the face if standing at either of the helm positions at the back in choppy water! Other than that though, this looks like the perfect sailboat in my opinion. Thanks, Nick!

[@iKvetch558]

Always good to see Maggie make an appearance...Jaque is great, but you always have a bit of extra feeling for your first, don't you think? 😏 I do have a bit of a quibble with this boat, though...I don't think the engine access is very good in the case of a casualty at sea. On most sail yachts, the engine access is inside the boat, where it can be worked on in any weather...and where it is relatively out of the way. This placement is great for regular maintenance and repairs in port or at anchor, but not good at all out at sea in bad weather, plus it makes your cockpit largely impassable. 🖖 Really enjoying all the videos on all the channels...cheers again for keeping the content coming.💯

[@kitsvn]

this is an awesome boat! thanks for the tour!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@davereid-daly2205]

Wow that's a great boat just what I have been looking for !!!

[@MrWiggenhammer]

I've been watching SV Delos videos and the mid cabin layout on sail boats seems to make so much more sense. I mean this all looks beautiful but having the helm and all rope handling under possible cover seems like a nice option for all weather sailing.

[@operator0]

Center cockpit sailboats offer a few advantages, but come with some disadvantages as well. The advantages are; A safer cockpit for heavy weather sailing, and a large aft cabin. The disadvantages; A smaller cockpit and smaller main salon area, and not as much of a traditional, wind in the hair sense of excitement sailing experience, which is very appealing to many sailors, but may wear thin if you plan on cruising the world. As the saying goes; Every sailboat is a compromise.

[@iancharlton678]

Looked as though the steps to the cabins lifted ? Assuming a fair volume of storage.... ? Also, with the bathing platform down, there was a hatch or skylight set in the floor... ? Intriguing.... 🙂🇬🇧

[@jonnorousseau3096]

First saw the Moody 41' DS at Dusseldorf 2019 methinks, always had a soft spot for them since I started looking for a boat for myself and I came damn close to buying an older Primrose designed marine projects 33' Mk 2 CC, then later a 34' CC. The most striking features of this boat are that it has a definite catamaran feel to the cockpit and saloon but on one hull, and the high bulwarks and solid handrails make for a safe sea boat, it should really be classified as a pilot house yacht and not a DS but I'm not arguing the toss, nice boat, I'd have one in a heartbeat and if money was no object I'd have the bigger sister 52'????

[@danielrabel1756]

Great video as always, I was just wondering what's the window in the storage compartment behind the bathing platform for?

[@stevehickey8537]

I was thinking the same. I really want to know 😀

[@dickkingswell5249]

I don't know for sure but maybe it will give access to the prop to free it from rope entanglement, lobster pots etc? Or maybe just to give a view to the rudder etc. Having had to dive under a Contessa 32 (in my underpants) in a freezing cold Solent rainy day, to free myself from a lobster pot - I would have welcomed such a hatch

[@marcoquiros1393]

It´s just access to rudders mechanism, hydraulics, seals and compensation rings.

[@garygibson416]

Nice boat to see but think I’ll stick to fully motorised. Thanks Nick

[@BasedBidoof]

That sliding cover over the back reminds me of a VW bus and beetle sunroof

[@waytosacramento3843]

[@chriswelch9418]

Great walk around, although what’s the window in the stern for? 🤔 Very different to a normal layout of a yacht, not completely sold on the idea as a conventional layout would give you more room below and another berth for two. But variety is the spice of life..... Keep the great work up! ❤️

[@nothingsurprisesmeanymore]

Yes I came here for the answer about the window hatch behind the bathing platform. I think Nick missed out the crew cabin 😆

[@nothingsurprisesmeanymore]

I had another look and I think it's access to the rudder and possibly the shaft drive. I would still prefer it to have tiny crew hands 😄

[@operator0]

@@nothingsurprisesmeanymore This boat doesn't have a shaft, it has a sail drive. I suspect that hatch is access to a lazarette, which would be where the steering gear is (and other mechanical equipment?).

[@SteveMastroyin]

I missed the compass at the beginning and I was thinking my goodness did they really not find a place for a nice binnacle or any kind of gimballed magnetic compass? Not even integrated into the helm position? Then at the end I saw it. Phew.

[@IsThisAvailable550]

Nice yacht. It seems to give the feel (size) of a catamaran but still remaining a mono hull. It doesn't appear that you've given as much as a thorough tour on this as you usually do. there were many things you didn't point out & show. (eg. there were hinges on the internal stairway etc). That's not a criticism though, just me wanting to see absolutely everything. 😉
