Sailing the Sirius 35 DS: A Day at Sea

Finally - a sailing video - and not only Torsten Schmidt, the CEO of Sirius Yachts in it!
Marie Schneider, an experienced blue-water-cruiser, who discovered our yachts recently, comes sailing with us. During a day spent at sea we have a close look at the features that make this boat so seaworthy and well-equipped for any kind of passage. We also talk about what is needed on a go-anywhere-cruising-yacht in general: energy generation with solar and wind, battery types, wind steering, water-maker, different sails and topics like "what boat to choose", night watches and so on...
If you'd like to find out more, come visit us in Northern Germany or at one of the many international boat shows. We'd love to show you around and take you out for a sail.

This sort of video, sets the standard of boat presentation ! a proud CEO sails with, and have a good talk with an experienced sailor ! Most other boat companies does not even get close to this ! Very well done, and the 35 DS is truly a great ship !

[@SiriusYachts]

Wow, that`s are a great compliment! Thank you very much! It has been a day an exchange I enjoyed myself very much ...and great topics to talk about...I never fail to love talking and dreaming about

[@Norwegianwoodworker]

A spot on comment, I was thoroughly impressed and inspired of this test run. I will put down this company and boat for a future test after Covid is over. Thumbs up :) TR

[@SiriusYachts]

@@Norwegianwoodworker ...Thanks a lot. I am glad you like it! There has gone a lot of thought and work in the design, but behind this stands a big team who all work with love and passion and thousands of owners ideas. Lots of credit to them as well! At this particular moment in time we are all looking very much forward to tomorrow…All the best!

[@TheGolfdaily]

Can't agree more, nothing is more assuring than when you see the owner of the company being happy with his own product.

[@justincruz8352]

Phil Berman is the only other one making video likes this. He owns Balance Catamarans. Both great companies. Really high quality and custom finish.

[@tomwilliams8675]

I always enjoy when Torstein takes people out sailing on his boats.

[@tellmelullabies5552]

I've falling in love with Sirius DS design since I saw Torsten's presentations on different video's on youtube (and I've seen them all). This one, takes it to another level where one can really picture how it would be sailing around the world on that wonderful cruising boat. When I was a kid (around 8 to 14) I used to go sailing with my father every other weekend or so. Now that I'm 47 years old, and watching this amazing boat, I dream on sailing again. Maybe one day! Congratulations to Torsten and all the Sirius team.

[@SiriusYachts]

Thanks for sharing! It´s my pleasure and very easy to get enthusiastic about this boat ;-). I also consider myself very lucky that Marie found us and I was finally able to meet her in person! Enjoyed this days very much and hope to have her back on board at some stage! For me it would indeed be the perfect go-anywhere-cruiser and we do have a steadily increasing number of customers living all year long on board…some as their only home. Hope you can come back to your routs sometime soon!

[@callmeishmael4663]

Now this is how you sell a boat -- it's like I have taken a test ride myself. I like this company more and more, and the DS35 of course. Kudos for the good work and the passion!

[@SimonPucher]

WOW. Feels like a fireside chat BUT on a boat, what a fantastic presentation!

[@chrismcclary108]

Thank for doing this in English, appreciate it

[@SiriusYachts]

You are most welcome! We do have customers form 28 different countries around the world (so far) and they usually have a margin of 70-80% of our annual production so it´s a better/easier way to reach all even if this is causing some critics from our German speaking interested parties....

I’ve had boats all my life and have pretty much decided that the DS35 will be my next boat and fist sailing cruiser. I appreciate the quality of workmanship and personal interest of Torsten the owner in making a great boat.

[@OldSchoolDo]

best boat in our opinion ,, just a couple more years and we will be in-touch with Torsten

[@yelnanvondunkelstein579]

After growing up on container ships, the sea will always be a part of me. And this part is always screaming at me seing and dreaming of this boat! Especially as I am growing up not very far of Sirius Yachts! As soon as I have found a Crate full of Gold, I have just go to order this great boat! Thanks Sirius and Marie for this wonderful video, which again makes my seapart of me screaming! 😉

[@nomaded0m]

For me.. the Best simple single & decksaloon boat I've ever seen [ many things.. all in ONE boat] .!. Bravissimo Sirius werk ! 👏.. Of course to buy.. Of course the most expansive too 😵.. Why the only one ..¿.. .. Words of a Swiss boatbuilder ..

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

Not only is this boat full of great design ideas, build to high standards and ergonomics, but I am really completely blown away with the accommodation, that you get out of this and also the bigger 40DS. I mean, I have seen 50 foot monohuls, which in all truth offer less accommodation, than even the 35DS do. Especially coffin like, compromised cabins are often a thing in many production boats, no names mentioned.

[@klemenprezelj]

I really need no persuation to like this boat,just money. My all time favorite 35ds. Briliant boat!

[@SiriusYachts]

Thanks a lot. I am glad you like it! There has gone a lot of thought and work in the design, but behind this stands a big team who all work with love and passion and thousands of owners ideas. Lots of credit to them as well!

[@klemenprezelj]

@@SiriusYachts, still, u're the mastermind who put it all together into one boat, that is so much more then just that. I bet it takes a lot of knowledge and inovative mind to do that.

[@SiriusYachts]

@@klemenprezelj Thank you very much! I just love what I do. I am glad you can notice it. On top of this, I am in the lovely position to have our boats built in the exact way I would do it for myself...and I do work for a company with 50 years of tradition and experience in doing just that. If than that many owners bringing in so many ideas and experiences ...something like this could be the result

What a great boat. At some point I will come and see it.

[@towhitby1]

Torstein is an absolute master of his craft - I've enjoyed sailing with him in the past and tried to buy a used Sirius but the owner changed his mind and couldn't bear to sell!

[@SiriusYachts]

Thank you! hope you can keep the dream alive!

You build beautiful boats and you also have some of the best and most informative videos in the market. I also appreciate that both of you did this in your second (or third or more) language.

[@johnjohnstone8107]

Nic guy Torsten. Very down to earth and not dismissive of the fact that sailing on a budget way below the cost of his boats is still an vital part of sailing. Very impressed by him as a person, and by his company and their boats.

[@SiriusYachts]

I seen this video many times, love all Sirius yachts, and all videos from Torsten. Hopefully, I can buy one soon. Ok back to work !! Thank for the great video.

[@felixsegebrecht8497]

This is just one of my big loves. the other one is the swallow yachts baycruiser 26. If the Sirius is a perfect Home, the baycruiser is the perfect tiny house. Actually I can't stop watching videos with the both makers, Torsten Schmidt and Matt Newland.

[@tarivard]

I absolutely love these yachts. Phenomenal design

[@hv7978]

Excellent !!! I had my eyes on the OVNI 400 but this has changed my mind.

[@SiriusYachts]

Thank you. We obviously prefer GRP as a hull material, while aluminium is a great in certain applications, for smaller yachts we feel the downsides outweigh the benefits. We have an article on our website about Aluminium Vs GRP on our website, where we expand on our reasoning. www.sirius-yachts.com/aluminium-v-grp/

[@sasquatchhadarock968]

So glad to see Torsten and his crew innovating in sailing. For years everything looked the same, so much so that I could barely tell the difference between the major brands other than the wood stain and upholstery colors on the interiors. Now, Sirius is giving other designers something new to compete with. 👍

[@michaelpavlovic5618]

Very nice movie. Love to look at the boat going through the Lübeck bay, especially because we will be back on our Sirius 35DS on Friday afternoon for another week. We feel lucky to have found this boat, so we can watch without envy... ;-)

[@SiriusYachts]

...and you do get the funniest blank looks if you try to tell a random not-sailor that the special thing on this boat is - that you can actually look out of it - if you are inside

[@christip20]

What a great video that covered lots of information & questions. Thanks!

[@Dave-pf7yc]

What a fantastic well thought out boat. Clever options.

[@svviento2298]

Our favorite Sirius video. The 35ds is on our very short list but at this time (COVID-19) visiting Plon from outside the EU has slowed our decision making process and the opportunity to actually sail the DS. This video has given us the best insight on how the boat sails and addition insight to how Torsten/Sirius approach clients and build. A wonderful blend of product quality and client service. Great video!

[@SiriusYachts]

[@selleluca]

I Love this Boat! ❤️

[@paulcifka4426]

Marie - I really enjoyed your video review of the 35 DS at the boat show and so glad to see you giving additional thoughts on the Sirius yachts! It is great hearing some of your actual cruising experiences and how a Sirius would handle the various aspects of cruising based on your real life experience. Just like the detailed thought Torsten puts into every inch of his boats, you see it again here in the latest videos helping prospective buyers like myself really understand aspects of these wonderful yacths. Even though you can get a much more realistic understanding of Sirius yachts from the videos in this channel than you can with most other yacht videos, I still wanted to see these in person for myself so flew from San Francisco to Germany (as part of a summer vacation) to visit Sirius yachts, see the manufacturing process and experience the boats in person including a test sail. After being enamored with Torsten's videos and his yachts, the in person experience did not disappoint. I first came across Sirius when looking for a boat where my wife and two younger daughters would be less prone to getting sea sick if the weather was a little rough as well as a place they could be warm when it was cooler out. When Torsten took us for a test sail on the Baltic, it was a bit blustery and chilly so my wife went into the deck salon, laid down next to the table and took a nap. She was cozy, warm, and didn't feel the slightest bit sea sick. We found a winner! After looking at countless boats and hearing stories of challenges with quality on production boats (or experiencing ourselves when chartering), I was blown away at the lengths Torsten and team put into truly building these boats to last so much longer than production boats. Whether it is the thickness of the wood (all cut from the same tree with grain perfectly aligned between doors/cupboards, etc), the weight of just the rudder post itself, the huge beefiness and reinforcement put into the stiffness/thickness of the hull, the many ingenious and extremely usable features throughout the boat or back again to the fact you can have a spacious cockpit and/or be inside with true 360 visibility (instead of so many DS boats out there where as soon as you sit down, you can't see out the windows above you or most you can't see forward), it just never ceases to amaze at a place you'd want to be at anchor, at the dock or on passage. Thanks again for your passion for your craft and building such a phenomenal product. We can't wait to have ours!

[@paulmiles6437]

Great review! Just wondering if you are working with a dealer to deliver the boat to the US and have it commissioned here, or take delivery overseas? I'd love to have one of these fine yachts here in Hawaii eventually, maybe after cruising the Pacific Northwest for a season.

[@paulcifka4426]

Hi Paul, I've been looking at options to sail it over several years in different trips to get back to the west coast while putting in charter in desirable locations (Baltic, med, BVI) when I'm not using it and doing multiple trips to explore those areas. Having it shipped over is another faster option. There is a 40ds owner in Vancouver bc who sailed it home and he said it was a wonderful experience including stopping in Hawaii on the way back. I did a trip up in BC along the sunshine coast area and this boat would be fantastic for up there. I'd love to make my way up to Alaska along the inside passage, this boat enables travel to so many places in comfort!

[@SiriusYachts]

Thanks Paul to share al this thoughts with us! It was really greatto have you and your sweet family in Plön and enjoying the second test sail this February in Vancouver!

[@SiriusYachts]

That´s definitely the way to do it - if you have the time to enjoy all this lovely places around Europe and along the way

[@SiriusYachts]

@@paulmiles6437 If you like to have her deliverd to the PNW, transportation of the boat would be - loaded on a flat rack - either on a Ro-ro ferry into Tacoma or on a cargo Vessel into Vancouver. Other destinations are of cause possible

[@bravofighter]

Wonderful! I’ll be looking for Marie’s channel, and also I live the twin keel design. Where we live on the Hudson River in New York, the tide shift is dramatic, and shoaling is a major issue. Our boat draws only 1 meter, and there have been times where we have touched a sandbar in a channel that was supposed to be 10 meters! 😳 We like to anchor in close to the islands to swim and picnic, and being able to dry out the hull for maintenance would be fantastic.

A truly wonderful boat, and - as ever - the presentations from Sirius Werft and Torsten is next to none! The Best I've seen. And Believe me; I've been around searching for the "perfect" full-time liveaboard and ocean capable boat (I know; there is not such a thing as the 'perfect' boat, but... Well, I believe You know what I mean 😊) And, having seen a lot, when it comes to the concept it represents, my dreamboat is still the 35DS, so I Can fully sympathize with the charming Marie! As indicated; my future plans goes in the direction of fulltime liveaboard up here in the Baltic area. As far as I Can see, the 35DS has no hull or deck insulation, but is that offered as an option ? Best regards from Denmark 😊 Christian

[@SiriusYachts]

Hi Christian, thanks for the many compliments! You made me red on my cheeks ;-)

[@SiriusYachts]

Yes there is a lot of insulation in the very core of her build, she is indeed especially constructed for this. Building sailing yachts here in the North of Germany since 50 years now with lots of customers cruising Sweden, Norway and the UK - often living on board all year long this is our special expertise. Deck saloon windows are double glassed. She has a very sound insulation through the whole boat (up to 80mm in the roof alone, and including 30mm Divinycell foam in deck and hull) which is that good, that there is no condensation water at all inside. For customers which like to push boundaries with temperatures below freezing, we do add some extra insulation to the already existing one in front and aft cabin. I was living on this yacht through January and February in Seattle and Vancouver and it was very toasty ;-). We do have customers living on board in areas of thick ice on the water. Good thing is: what is good against cold works against heat as well ;-)

[@wjhann4836]

I fell in love with these boats a long time ago in Düsseldorf. And every year I did again - even if it hurts (price). First I was amazed looking to a side window into the engine room - were they also find place for a little workshop and toolbox and and and. The love put in details of the boats is amazing.

wow what a charming and honest review

[@SiriusYachts]

Thank you very much! It´s my pleasure. I also consider myself very lucky that Marie found us and I was finally able to meet her in person! Enjoyed this days very much and hope to have her back on board at some stage!

This is the cleverest designed sailboat I’ve ever seen. So well thought out, makes use of all space available. Love the moving steering wheel and secret room. Is this any design relation to Mascot 35ds ??

Great video!

[@SiriusYachts]

Thanks!

Thats truly a new standard in yachting. Thats an honest company, typical bespoke German where every square inch is methodically thought out. I would have the biquille bilge keel tri rudder for northern Europe Ireland Scotland France where the range in tide is large and the ability to dry out is paramount for both cost and safety. Any irishman would tell you that the best place to ride out a north atlantic gale is on a bar stool with your boat outside in the carpark. The bilge keel sitting on a triangulation just about achieves this. Well done.

What a beauty

[@CadohaAdventures]

That's a super interesting looking boat, hopefully one of these scratch cards will come good one day 🤞🏼😉

[@RickMentore]

Cool how TS kept asking questions instead of trying to sell his boat! Makes you wanna buy a boat from that guy!

[@andreaspetillon8466]

klasse !

[@michaelbruunskovkristensen2509]

Oh Jesus Christ.... would someone please buy me this boat🥰 Such an intelligent design, and so much comfort even in the harschest conditions, not to mention such a dedicated CEO

[@GermanGreetings]

Sirius Yacht-Building... the power of convincing about, what you relly need. Thank you !

[@SiriusYachts]

;-) ;-) ;-) ...can we name it "opening eyes" to what you allready knew you whould need? ;-)

[@GermanGreetings]

@@SiriusYachts Yes, please :) Thank you for your answer !

[@fabienh3943]

Need?? Ttt...this was a (very nice) sales talk. The one that listens and then talks you further into it. A good salesman, and this gentleman is for sure, doesn't force you into anything, but just forgets to mention downsides by telling you how much he will be able to fulfill your dream ...and get your euros out. But hey, if it makes one feel well...

[@GermanGreetings]

@@fabienh3943 But don`t forget, Sir: You get a wonderful boat, far more than those many `avaliable`, maybe less expensive disappointments in later practical life on board. I was at sea with a very small boat... that never disappointed me. And I can read the difference between a `salesman` and an enthusiastic, experianced shipbuilder. If I had those euros... sorry for this `commercial`...: I would not `get my euros out` to anyone... but I would investigate in this Sirius-Way-of-Life, minding facts: Imgaine bored children and a cold-wet wife in a dark kitchen `underground`, ...all finally leaving you alone with your love to sailing in northern hemispheres. So it`s indeed very nice, what this wise man has to say on board that little ship... as he creates integrative facts into ships. And please mind this, Fabien: I am talking `from board` a Hobie 14, ok ? Because I am not jealous at all, to see other peoples life, including their dreams and wifes and children + dog, being fulfilled on that special Sirius-Level. I am not an advocat for their lifestyle - I just like to see people doing something, they are convinced about. On both sides of any contract, to create a good ship... and then of course I would buy it.

[@SiriusYachts]

​@@GermanGreetings Wow! Thanks you very much for all your thoughts on this! This is a great compliment and motivation! Naturally I couldn´t more agree ;-) but love the way you balanced this out! We are simply in the lovely position to have our boats built in the exact way and with just the materials we would do for ourselves... Working in a company with 50 years of tradition and experience in doing just that and that many owners bringing in so many ideas and experiences ...doing everything directly without dealers to be able (and sometimes forced ;-) to listen and hear about all aspects of customers all around the world helps a lot to get to something like this as the result…

self tacking jib + furling code zero for the win. jib is only there for close haul, code for close reach to board reach plus light wind conditions. with this set up there really isn't a need for a big heavy genoa. self tack jib is really really good as long as you only use them for close haul. soon as pointing fall off they arent as useful due to side and cut. but they are super good. it's just a paradigm shift in terms of how fore sails are used. 100% recommend over traditional set up.

[@SA-zv4wr]

Nice presentation. As usual.

[@SiriusYachts]

Thanks, appreciate it!

lovely yacht. ticks most of my boxes.

[@SiriusYachts]

Glad you like it!

[@Legominder]

With enough solar panels (maybe sprayhood?) and battery for an electric main motor and stove and a ventilation (maybe air conditioning) this is perfect.

[@normanmerrill1241]
