Welcome back to Naval Gazing at Camp David!
This week we are entering the octagon of large aluminum catamarans with a close look at…
The Mighty VAAN R6!
Today We Will:
1. Review Specifications, Pricing, and Layout
We'll compare the VAAN R6 against three similar new vessels. From hull design to interior finish, see how the R6 stands up to the competition.
2. Full Tour - "What Would Sylvia Say?"
Join us as we tour the VAAN R6, offering a unique perspective inspired by the famous yachtswoman Sylvia Earle. Discover features that enhance both comfort and performance.
3. Naval Gaze at Innovation
Explore the latest technology aboard the VAAN R6 that makes life at sea a breeze. From advanced navigation systems to eco-friendly power solutions, this segment is all about making your voyage smoother.
4. Used Market for 3-5 Year Old Comparables
Thinking about a pre-owned yacht? We’ll dive into the used market to find comparable models, highlighting their value and any potential savings.
5. Dave Score
We’ll finish with a "Dave Score," comparing the VAAN R6 with all our previously reviewed yachts. Find out how it stacks up in terms of performance, luxury, and value.
As always, all this fun will be sandwiched between a pairing of wine and a work of art from the same region as the guest yacht, in an effort to capture the culture and people who gave birth to these wonderful vessels.
Waves, wine, art, and ideas… What a civilized way to spend thirty minutes, so let’s get going.
From high above Vancouver, we head far west around the globe all the way to Vietnam and the home of last week’s guest yacht at the yards of Corsair Marine. From here we continue west all the way to the Netherlands on the west coast of the continent and the yards of this week’s future yacht, the massive VAAN R6. Finally, we take a quick hop north to the distilleries of this week’s pairing…
BOOMSMA - YOUNG GENEVER JONGE Gin
Genever is the original style of gin invented in the Netherlands. It is a softer and sweeter spirit than the more popular London Dry style and ideal for drinking straight. Jonge refers to the more modern, lighter type of Genever.
Naval Gazing Segment
SeaDrive pods are torpedo type pods, profiled and made entirely of bronze, a material that is not very sensitive to electrolysis issues.
SeaDrive pods are able to make a 240° turn in order to offer, in hydro generation mode, the best possible performance on sailboats. This interesting feature allows these pods to be equipped, when mounted on sailboats, with folding propellers, propellers that offer a very limited drag in pure sailing, but that, turned 180°, optimize the hydro generation.
A hydro generation that reaches 4000 W at 13.5 knots, a very respectable figure for a pod of 7.5 kW (comparable to that of a saildrive Servoprop 15 kW, twice as powerful) and which suggests extraordinary performance of the 15 kW version.
In terms of maneuverability, the steerable pod combined with a joystick offers possibilities unknown to a single engine, sailboat, or motorboat, allowing it to turn in circles on the spot, as would a twin engine with one of its engines engaged forward and the other aft.
SeaDrive pod 7,5 kW azimuth + controls, 12.000 € approx. EXW Norway
