[@GermanGreetings]

Totally timeless... and so beautiful...

[@theTopsailChannel]

what a beautiful boat

[@ivanlussich8146]

What a great sailboat the PC55 is. I love the pilot cutter design --which dates back to the late XIX th century in the UK I believe. A fine, reliable ocean-going vessel indeed. Saludos from Uruguay.

[@kaneon]

classic yet very modern, nice !

[@ZoneTelevision]

Totally agree ... incredible looking boat.

[@lipadier]

Lovely layout, like the unusual placement of the engine allowing the two aft cabins. What I don't like is the fact that you can't see out of the windows when you are standing up. With almost 360 degrees of glass it would be perfect if you just could stand up next to the table to gain an allround view outside. - Other than that, what a great boat. Inside and out. Timeless design.

[@user-cs5hv3eg2i]

Absolutely awesome!

[@thomashegwein8407]

Looks great sailing at that clip.

[@nathanfeldman4591]

Beautiful boat

[@coronapack]

wow this one is wonderful

[@GypzyJack]

I think Toby's enthusiasm for this boat has waned big time since he came below! *chuckles*

[@etma01]

Super professional review, wouldn't go for it but good to see

[@brianmacclaren3294]

What a beauty 🤤

[@TheRuffusMD]

very good review

[@hunsadersrockinranch]

Very nice!

[@mermaidsurfer]

What a dream boat

[@kykyzim24]

Good looking boat

[@saidharun6468]

Beautiful

[@bumblebee240.]

How much?

[@ZoneTelevision]

Love the sense of "airyness" and light below..

[@BallooSky]

Beauty

[@constantineding8700]

My favarite color sheme ever on a boat.

[@user-db5cd1wb9q]

Отличное видео.классная яхта!Сколько же она стоит?

[@arch1035]

Can someone help me find the name of the song in this video?

[@tobiasburen8340]

I like your Videos very much! But please teach your Cameraman to look at the Points you are describing and not at you. I would really like to see the engineroom. Especialy on this boat I think it's totally stupid in the middle of the livingroom. Many thanks from Germany

[@tm502010]

So many boat and real estate videos have this problem. Video about a product - but video is mostly focused on the presenter... We KNOW what the presenter looks like!

[@danknox9986]

I always enjoy these videos but it would be nice if you could include a price estimate.

[@ericvuille6410]

The next one maybe 🤔😀👋

[@eaurevoir]

Love your channel and the presentation. Pleasseeee improve the audio (levels, wind, etc). Keep up the good work.

[@yachtingworld]

See below: Apologies. We had a problem with the radio mic connecting to the camera for this one - which meant the voice to camera footage at sea was only recorded by the camera mic. A shame also as there were other parts on deck/at the wheel that were completely unusable for wind noise.

[@Crazy_Worlds]

I know it’s new and the teak hasn’t weathered yet but the deck looks like it may be synthetic? It would be interesting to know. Plus price as shown?

[@ericvuille6410]

One million about...???

[@TheJamesthe13]

Beautiful boat. Genuinely moving design. Do you really think she’s mostly suited to calmer waters? Is that just the design of the cockpit? With the fairly low sides, and no rail? Is there not a possibility to install some blue water gear? Lots of space for solar on that pilot house 😅

[@donaldvanvliet9039]

TheJamesthe13 he says she'll do well in the calmer waters of the med, which doesn't say anything about how she does on ocean crossings or in heavier weather. But if you go to the website of Hoek design, you can read that these boats have the rating to sail all around the world and many of them have. If you see what boats are crossing the atlantic i don't see why this one shouldn't be able to do it.

[@voilemontagne]

Kind of a dreamboat. But can you use it in heavy weather? Is it okay to do big passages?

[@simoncrockett65]

my thoughts exactly... flat water class, but in a sea way? not so sure

[@user-mp8mu5fe4f]

Watch from 8:50

[@brianfriend2153]

Don’t see why not.

[@984francis]

It's based on a cutter. Cutters had to be able to compete with other ti get pilots onto ships in the worst weather. Look at the vessel a teenage girl sailed around the world on her own for perspective: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHKZYXWJmMygsNk

[@Half-stache]

I'll take two, please....

[@billbogg3857]

Does it have the traditional long keel deep draught or has it been modernised ?

[@karelcuchal1550]

No info reg. machine, keel & price!

[@jaspersilus]

Like the outside, though to my eye too much freeboard for a pilot cutter, dont like the inside at all, but thats just my opinion!

[@madridpunch]

Lovely video, but isn’t it about time you got a wind sock for your mic?

[@yachtingworld]

See below: "Apologies. We had a problem with the radio mic connecting to the camera for this one - which meant the voice to camera footage at sea was only recorded by the camera mic. A shame also as there were other parts on deck/at the wheel that were completely unusable for wind noise"

[@posterestantejames]

Good lord, put a muffle on that mic! Good looking boat. Main salon has got no sight lines to the water!

[@Halcyonyachts]

We've just delivered a PC55 from Greece to Italy. What a fabulous yacht!!! Check out our KZbin channel to see our video of the trip.

[@stevenk6638]

When will they learn to mic for vocal in WIND ????

[@yachtingworld]

See below: "Apologies. We had a problem with the radio mic connecting to the camera for this one - which meant the voice to camera footage at sea was only recorded by the camera mic. A shame also as there were other parts on deck/at the wheel that were completely unusable for wind noise"

[@arthurpowers8175]

Well, you do show this boat sailing and that alone in the presentation is to the good and all too rare. Thank you. However, the galley is never shown dead-on as it should be, incuding stove and sink, and completely, including refrigerator and freezer, a giant, and obvious ommission. The engine could so easily have been shown fully, but instead, isn't in the least, just it's awkward, indeed bizarre, potentially intrusively noisy location. The aft head has some format of shower does it? Mention is made only of the separate shower in the head of the main (bow located) cabin, and then when we're guided there, it isn't shown in the least! The Nav-Station is shown as to location, a door of a cabinet possibly holding instrumentation is opened and we see just precisely what(?) The exterior of the door, nothing else! In the showing of the main cabin, a stowage drawer beneath the mattress platform is opened but are we afforded a view to gauge size/depth/capacity(?), absolutely not. Do the two aft berths have doors and any stowage whatsoever? None is shown in either respect, much less the interior of the aft head; a wet locker anywhere? Water tank capacity(?), no mention, fuel tank capacity(?), no mention. No fans visible anywhere, and lighting hard to discern. This boat has tons of unfulfilled, potential, frustratingly close at hand design and implementation-wise, and could look much less like a surgeon's sterile, well-daylit "shop" with the excess of white at the expense of visual warmth for which plenty of potential is in evidence. How about the strategic application of some stain and varnish properly applied? One is left "pining" for the beautiful boat lurking barely beneath the surfaces and key aspects of the interior; actually, potentially truly a boat for life. However, as is and as ill-shown, most unhappily, the mark is so painfully close in many terrific ways and missed so completely at the same time, in my view. At length this is written because great potential authentically appears so near and yet so far here (Oyster Bay. Long Island, New York originally; we know well-crafted and realized boats). Good luck to you and to the ship-wright.

[@GypzyJack]

It's a day-sailer! I wonder how many bob they want for it.

[@v8rumble123]

This song seems to be impossible to find, anyone recognise it?

[@Fr99763]

Indeed after a year, the song still eludes all search efforts and remains a mystery😂

[@youtubisashoe]

How much?

[@zerofox7347]

I can't believe you didn't show us the engine?!.

[@retiredinbali9565]

It was pissing me off too.

[@RolandLowhorn]

@@retiredinbali9565 less FaceTime more boat Less talk camera that doesn't move so fast

[@kentwood2914]

and i was glad i didn't have to look at another loud, vibrating, inefficient, stinky, maintenance ridden engine...

[@FINbushcrafter]

What's the song playing here?

[@neonsocks6010]

I can't find anything about this song sadly. I'd like to know as well.

[@Edyth_Hedd]

Shazam couldn't identify it, so it's probably a music clip the video producers bought online.

[@viarnay]

really only 55"? looks bigger. And she is the beauty beauty by the way

[@unbekanntesalbum78]

Toby Hudges you the one ☝️ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@larryedge7827]

I am interested, would you take this ship around the world?

[@984francis]

It's totally a blue water boat.

[@lindalakota38]

Only thing i dont like about lots of hatches is if your out and a hammered with 50' waves even go over i want the boat to be water tight'

[@ecan533]

Lovely yacht. Need to work on the mic levels, may I suggest a lapel mic?

[@dundeedolphin]

It's all filmed on a gopro.

[@yachtingworld]

As stated originally: "Apologies. We had a problem with the radio mic connecting to the camera for this one - which meant the voice to camera footage at sea was only recorded by the camera mic. A shame also as there were other parts on deck/at the wheel that were completely unusable for wind noise"

[@stianditlevsen2645]

Name of the song anyone..?

[@svoceanghost7734]

Wind Muffler Please

[@NickLea]

I agree with you. Normally, their videos are very professional indeed, but htis one seemed quite amateurish.

[@yachtingworld]

Apologies. We had a problem with the radio mic connecting to the camera for this one - which meant the voice to camera footage at sea was only recorded by the camera mic. A shame also as there were other parts on deck/at the wheel that were completely unusable for wind noise.

[@NickLea]

Thank you for taking the time to respond and explain what happened.

[@jesselebus3442]

Where is this filmed?

[@jesselebus3442]

Bodrum, Turkey

[@Tb0n3]

The bowsprit is fine and all but isn't it about a third of the length of a pilot cutter? Those ships had ridiculously long bowsprits. Those boats have half a telephone pole sticking off the bow.

[@svsalserenity4375]

Beautiful boat ! Horrible plum bow.

[@Mahalo_83]

Sure Toby said he was 5’9” in another video

[@technicholy1299]

"Lifts engine cover" "Doesn't show engine" Just.... Why?

[@Sailor_Greg]

5:30 For the love of Pete, man; pan down the bloody engine!

[@stuartcrabbe7377]

Think the exterior lines are beautiful but, not a fan on the interior layout and design. Feels too sterile and not inviting

[@shauntoomey3299]

You can always add your personal touch and colour and as he said they can custom the look for you.

[@TheJalipa]

They need a decent interior designer

[@xlenau]

I agree. Upper white half needs more wood trims. Transition needs to be softened.

[@donaldvanvliet9039]

TheJalipa it's not a production boat where they all come like this...the owner of this boat wanted it this way, if you order one, you can have it your way.

[@333sailorboy]

Can someone explain why Yachting World will not spend $20 for a "dead cat" to cover the mic and get rid of all the wind noise? It just is soooo annoying.

[@yachtingworld]

See below: "Apologies. We had a problem with the radio mic connecting to the camera for this one - which meant the voice to camera footage at sea was only recorded by the camera mic. A shame also as there were other parts on deck/at the wheel that were completely unusable for wind noise"

[@johnpirie7]

Who's the music by? Shame about the boat

[@TheJulio2205]

why?

[@hasanhuseyintamam5857]

Elin Amerikalısı ta dünyanın öbür ucundan bizim Bodrum'a kadar yelkenlisini test etmeye gelir, biz yokluktan burnumuzun dibindeki koylara gidecek dermanı bulamayız. Ne yapayım? Ne diyeyim?

[@martinlong2804]

I feel the presenter is not happy with this boat. Like the exterior, but not the interior.

[@tm502010]

Way too few cabinets. Cabins are spartan. Massive mid salon engine island is a real puzzle... Not space and storage outfitted for serious blue water, even Mediterranean blue water. In a 55 foot boat, that is a real shortcoming.

[@chasx7062]

bleh a typical modern sailboat

[@ericechols5806]

Nice looking Yacht but you lost me at 3:00 minutes in (before that really), when you say it's easy to sail, but you aren't single handing this 😳

[@donaldvanvliet9039]

Eric Echols Sr. Those statements are not mutually exclusive.

[@HakureiReimuOfficial]

Echoing the sentiment that the cameraman did a very, very poor job, as you're describing things he never actually... show the things properly. The engine of course being the most egregious example, how do you not show the engine bay of a boat like this?

[@keithfaulkner1288]

Be honest. You hated it.

[@conradsenior5843]

One to turn the audio off. The commentary is weak, and wind noise annoying. Use a dead cat next time. Or just don't talk at all. Get out of the front of the camera. As for the interior. I like the light. dislike the look of the interior, some mirrors or art would improve it. cabins are small, and turn it into a daysailor or weekender. I like the light all the way around on the doghouse. Overall I expect it sails well, but it is a pass, IMO..

[@jahf1sh]

You sound fun.

[@markjennings2315]

Sound all wrong...

[@yachtingworld]

See below: "Apologies. We had a problem with the radio mic connecting to the camera for this one - which meant the voice to camera footage at sea was only recorded by the camera mic. A shame also as there were other parts on deck/at the wheel that were completely unusable for wind noise"

[@Knapweed]

Great boat, dreadful interior. It looks like a fifties diner.

[@nojtom]

If the sound of a video makes me angry, I won’t watch it either. Get a microphone cover.

[@Snappybara]

"British managed" What an arrogant statemtent,

[@bumblebee240.]

How much?
