BOREAL 47 2 Is a pilot house worth it

[@jasoncrew4242]

We signed the contract for our 47.2 18 months ago and still have one year to wait for it to even begin building, launching early 2027. We are learning patience. :) Thanks for a new walkthrough of a 47.2.

[@thatwhit1]

Exciting!

[@BRP_USA]

Jason, I delivered a 52' across the Atlantic earlier this summer. I learned a lot about these boats during that time. Very stable and comfortable. Biggest take away - KEEP IT SIMPLE - no in mast or in boom furling was wonderful. The pilot house was a the most popular place on the boat.

[@sv_papillon]

Hello, you show the boats like no one else! All the details and important information. Your work is fantastic! Thank you for this 👏🏼

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

Happy you enjoy the tours.

[@Ian-gf8id]

Cutting to the chase, absolutely love the Boreal 47. Great design; super practical. Another excellent review despite the unavoidable background chatter.

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

Thank you sorry for the late reply.

[@sailingfabule1805]

I recommend the arch, with solar arrays, and two wind mills superwind. Fabule is as far as I know the only Boreal 47.2 with this configuration. With the Watt and Sea hydrogenerator in the water for long trips, you can use the superwind to balance the power generation, by stopping them when the batteries are more than 90% charged. For the front hatches you can have sea protections, which we have on Fabule. Stella doesn’t have a bow thruster. I do recommend to have one as they help manoeuvres in tight spaces, despite that this thruster (Max Power) is relatively fragile ( had to change the up down servo after 2 years only). The 75 HP engine works well. Only issue, it has a turbo. So from time to time you need to up the revs to clean up the turbo carbon build up. This sucks more fuel. If an atmospheric engine of same power were available, this would be a better solution. The heater stove looks nice and is cozy at anchor. But you cannot use it while en route with healing. Instead you can have the Webasto hydronic heater which we often use on passage to get a hot shower after few days at sea under way. Good luck for your dream.

[@constantinealexandrakis]

Just came back to the hotel from the Annapolis show where I saw the Boreal 70. What a magnificent boat. The quality of finishing of woodwork, flooring, leather wrapped handholds was just unbelievable. Superior to the competition in my opinion. Would love to know more about you and your family.

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

We were gutted we missed the Annapolis show, but there will always be next year.

[@geraldtribbe6363]

Love your delivery. Straight to the point, no BS.

Working on it it's hard to be objective sometimes though,

[@Jabbaerwocky]

Great presentation! If and when my ship comes in I can't decide between Boréal and Garçia. 😅😂

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

Hard choice;)

[@jasoncrew4242]

We chose the Boreal 47.2 as the Garcia 45 did not have sufficient salon headroom for me at 189cm height. It would have been a difficult choice otherwise at the time, but we have come to appreciate the unique aspects of the Boreal as a good fit for us.

[@amunderdog]

That is a very nice boat.

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

Totally agree, Thanks for watching

[@RodneyDyer]

I love the windlass at the mast, but the buttons should be forward with the wash down, so I can bring it in, wash it off, and have it all pile up amidship

[@sailingfabule1805]

I agree. On Fabule we have also a remote command for the windlass but the boat being all aluminium RF doesn’t pass well to the receiver. It exists an external antenna but this requires a hole on the roof, so not practical. It usually works OK when the batteries of the remote are not too discharged.

[@georgecook6594]

I would love to see or hear your thoughts about the Sirius 40ds

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

So would we, we will get in touch with Sirius again for the possibility of a sea trial.

[@brownnoise357]

@@georgecook6594 They are beautifully Built Sailboats, and I Really Like them, and especially like that they can be had with an excellent shallow Draft Twin Keel. BUT ! For Me, they are Fatally Flawed for use in my intended Destination, which is the Tropics, due to the amount of Glazed area in the Deck Saloon giving Passive Heating, and the pretty disastrous lack of internal Volume and Headroom for good Airflow, which makes air conditioning Compulsory, and the lack of Room for a decent generator, and poor tankage for carrying enough Fuel For it basically for Comfort in the Tropics you need a different Design of at least 40 feet LOA, and preferably from three to five feet longer to keep things easily accessible for Service, Maintenance and storage, with great Headroom and Fans to aid air circulation, so that once acclimatised, you don’t even really need air conditioning. So it was with Great Sadness, the Sirius Range of Sailboats had to be knocked not just from the top option choice for next Sailboat, but has had to be removed from the list of options completely. But For the Baltic, Around Britain, or places like the Atlantic Coast of Canada, or the Pacific NorthWest ? I can’t think of a better choice to be honest, as Sirius really do make Superb Sailboats. Just not for where I intend going. Best Wishes. Bob.🤔🌟🌟🌟⛵️eta - if you pay attention in the video tours, the lack of headroom and overall internal Volume issue does become clear, and sadly, while useful, the overall Workshop Volume, just doesn’t compare to say converting one of the adt Cabins close to the galley into a much bigger and far more useful area, with much better access just as close to the engine, as the average 40 foot production Sailboat which has much better Headroom, so more battery bank, Workbench, Spares, Freezers or whatever is needed, able to be fitted in, just by Removing the Bed ? Actually even a 35 to 39 foot LOA may work better tbh. If I decide that I am fit enough to come back to the UK to live, it is actually a Sirius 35 Twin Keel, that would then be my perfect Live Aboard Choice, to potter around in for my final retirement. Best Wishes. Bob. 👍🌟🌟🌟⛵️

[@brownnoise357]

PS. If it had a well sheltered Cockpit with Great Shade protection, like the Moody Deck Saloon, so you could leave the Deck Saloon Doors open so that fans could move all of the Hot Air easily out of the Boat that may be achievable with the Sirius, if a Hard Bimini was added from the Deck Saloon to the Transom so not only could the doors be left open, to evacuate all that hot air, the brilliant 3 position Jefe Steering would gain excellent weather and Sun Protection. I would really like that three position movable steering on my next Sailboat tbh, and it is odd that it is only Sirius that appears to be offering it ? 🤔 Bob.

[@georgecook6594]

@@brownnoise357 You can get a soft canopy when at anchor or if you have the arch over saloon roof and German main sheet you can have it when sailing. Sirius is very customisable with rig and keel options and the have been working on a twin ocean volt hybrid with 48v system

[@brownnoise357]

Not being generally a fan of slapping large greenhouse glazed structures on Sailboats - the only ones that definitely work in the Tropics, to me anyway are built by Moody, given the purpose of this boat is to get to bloody Cold areas -Ugh !- the Pilot House is a valuable asset. As for heading for extremely Cold Places, I am no longer sure that's anything like a good idea, and this after starting off as a youngster who loved the Cold, and mucking around in the Snow, I now suspect that there might be Cumulative Bad Effects from exposure to extreme Cold, which for me started with experiences with extreme Winters, starting in the 1960's and 1970's, the very bad winter of 1981/82, a very bad one a couple of years later, which hit when I was Rotovating a Field, which started throwing up "Boulders" which turned out to be the Ground Rapidly freezing under my feet, and a period of a bit more than a week, when the Wind Chill was below minusc45 degrees C, and after abandoning Rotovating and disappearing indoors, and wrapping in layers of Clothes, sleeping bags and Duvets, including a German Army Fur lined Winter Parka, I froze my butt off buying over a hundred eight of Coal overnight, and went out the next day to buy a Morso Squirrel Multifuel Stove, and several hundred weight of South African Petro Coke - the hottest burning Coke you can get, and which was very cheap - and that combo was so effective Winters indoors turned into Jean's and T Shirt Comfort, until the Bad Blizzards in the early 1990's had me almost Dying in a Snow Drift after my car got stuck in one 300 yards from home, as I struggled to get through 3 12ft plus Drifts, in front of the car, and I sank exhausted into the third one - side note, it is so pleasant sinking into one out of the wind and Blizzard, it is a surprisingly pleasant way to Die, and it was only the voice in my head saying listen pal, if you don't get out of here now, you are Dead ! that got me to get up and push on. The Next Snow Drift was only head height, the one after about 4 foor, then a couple about a foot hight, then I was in the Shdlter of all of the trees around my place, then there was the struggle of getting the door keys out of my pocket, and about 20 minutes getting the door open, then lighting that glorious Morso Squirrel with Petro Coke, and getting the Kettle on, Firing up the Generator, and getting the Electric Blanket on. I was Snowed in for over 3 weeks, and friends brought in Supplies with 4 wheel Drives. Since, I appear to have passed the point of no return with Nasty Cold Stuff, just Can't Tolerate it, and so this type of Sailing just isn't for me frankly. So it's Wide Beamed Shallow Draft Aft Cockpit Comfort and Head For the Tropics From now on, in GRP Monohulls, with plenty of Sun and UV protection, along with Protective Coatings against Termites on the Plywood surfaces below, and no Timber on Deck at all. So in Case low tolerance to Cold actually is Cumulative and depends on the amount of exposure you get , it might possibly be a very good idea Not to Start Pushing your Luck ? I know there are things like excellent Skiing Clothing which can Really Help with keeping us Warm, and probably assist with Reducing Cold Damage, but when you get Temperatures dropping really badly, the Wind Chill Effects can get really bad, very fast, plus There's, Storm Frequencies to take into consideration as well. So Cracknon if you enjoy the Cold, but keep your guard up, same with Heat - Keep your Salt and Fluid intakes up, because the speed we can lose all our Saltvis shocking, then we collapse, go into a Coma, and unless you get put on a Saline Drip Fast, You Die. I was in Lisbon in 1967 Youring the Museums, and it was so hot, people were dropping into Comas in the Streets, and they died, even though Doctors should have known to put them onto a Saline Drip. We were Struggling in the Museum Party, but a young Street Sweet Seller got us to Shade and water, and we had enough Salt Tablets to get us through, until the Sun Went down. That young sweet seller, had a very good day, as qe bought all his sweets, and gave him a very large tip. Luckily we had topped up with Salt Tablets in Alicante before getting to Lisbon. Beware of low Salt Diets, even if you get put on one. A Guy in Britain on a low Salt Diet, Died in Hospital in Britain, because the Doctors didn't know what was happening to him, and his body had just completely run out of Salt. I know, I do rabbit on a bit, but Comments do help, and they are a chance to pass on potentially useful information. Knowing the critical importance of Salt, for example, came directly from my Doctor of Tropical Diseases Uncle, and in the extremely hot Summer of 1982, helped me to keep a Work Gang I was in Charge of Fit and healthy, by watching for them stopping perspiring - get them into Shade Fast - eating Salty Snacks like Crisps and Peabuts, and onevof them was devoted to Fetching Drinking Water from the nearest Source, we were on the Coast, and every break, it was into the Sea for a Swim, including before starting Work in the Morning. They were good lads, and real grafters too. 👍 Best Wishes. Bob. ❤️

When will all the sailboat manufacturers sort out flush mounted hatches? Why have a tripping hazard when it’s not needed? Hallberg-Rassey sorted it out, just saying.

[@benthompson5418]

More chance of leaks with flush hatches and that's not what you want in an explorer yacht especially in sub zero temperatures

[@donaldvanvliet9039]

On this boat this is a deliberate design choice. They specifically build these ridges around the hatches so that water that comes over the bows doesn’t wash away over the hatches but around them. It prevents leaks. By the way, tired of that tripping hazard argument…know your boat, get used to it.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

You are going to need to be wearing boots where this boat goes.. and why worry when neither the sea or the land is rarely flat.. adapt pic your feet up.

⁠I didn’t know that we haven’t come up with leak-less flat hatches for expedition yachts. Would be nice to open my chair and not have to look for a flat area. Beautiful vessel though. Any recommendations for the best explorer sailboats between 62’ to 82’ to be used North of 40 latitude?
