Okay now this is a boat I could definitely go for. Set up base on Turks and Caicos, and you can run and gun all over the Caribbean and to Florida etc. Built in accommodations with head,...just a fantastic piece of design and I love the Hydrofoil lift and stability in rough seas, make this into a fishing platform, a charter boat, whatever you want it's just so damn adaptable, this designer knows boats and boaters. Wonder if I could get an enclosed version for running around the Queen Charlottes and Vancouver Island,...set up for diving and fishing?? Hmmm??

[@NautiStyles]

hhhhmmmmm, such great ideas and questions!

[@CrispyOkra]

That should be your towed tender for the Bering 75. 😁

[@summersands8105]

I really liked the concept of this boat. So very functional; however, it appears to leave you very open to the elements. I didn't see where you could close off, or enclose the salon area or back cockpit. Did I miss that or is it an option?

[@tomdue]

A pity you didn't talk (or show) more about the hydrofoils. I would have liked to know if there's some controls or if they're just fixed. How much is the lift effect?

[@michiganengineer8621]

Most of the power cats with foils are fixed. This is probably a very similar design to what is used on the Aquila 36, Insetta 35ifc and the Hysucat line. Those have the fixed main wing just forward of the center of gravity with the lowest point of the wing about even with the bottom of the hulls, this is the main point of lift. Then slightly in front of the transoms there are little "wing-lets" that stick out and down into the tunnel to slightly lift the stern. These aren't intended to lift the hulls completely out of the water like you see on the America's Cup yachts or on military hydrofoils.

[@robinjonkman187]

It has a fixed foil and it is the only foil on these cats. The bow gets lifted out of the water approx 40cm's if I remember correctly. There are zipwakes on the transom.

[@michiganengineer8621]

[@NautiStyles]

👌🏻🙏🏻💙

[@clifbradley]

ok....Positives: Super rugged and industrial looking. Love that portion of the boat. Seems like it can handle itself in most places you would take it around the Med or the Caribbean. Which leads to the negatives... Negatives: I feel that since the latest boom in yachting has been for rugged Explorer vessels with companies like Bering, Numarine, CdM, and Sirena leading that change and even forcing Benetti and ISA to get on board, the 'Explorer' tag gets slapped on anything with an axe or reverse bow and has a rugged or overbuilt appearance. But with 250 NM range, to me...and this is just my opinion...this isn't an 'Explorer' in the sense of what I and many others consider an 'Explorer' vessel. And yes I belong to groups and fan pages where we discuss these things like yacht nerds, and range and capabilities are some important factors. This isn't an Archipelago, JFA or a Glazmor. Those are all custom built true blue water Explorer catamarans. The other thing is the hatches seem like they would let in sea spray in during crossings, you have no enclosed cooking, and of course for a catamaran we are used to having a room in each hull and this just has one, which I'm sure you could change all those things during the build, but then are you really keeping the spirit of what that boat is,(Yes that is the Theseus conundrum) and if you are changing it that much why not go with an Archipelago or another builder that might be cheaper, just as durable, have more range but doesn't have some of the rugged features this has? I'm not trashing the boat since I do like it for what it is, I'm just not ok calling it an Explorer vessel in my vernacular or what that word means. There. I said my peace, you probably stopped reading this and won't respond, or take this the wrong way. I know you liked it..AND SO DID I VICTORIA...I LIKED AND THOUGHT IT WAS COOL...I just don't think it's an Explorer. Maybe loaded on the deck of a Damen SeaXplorer or toy carrier, but not on it's own.

A 46' explorer yacht (and being a cat) which only has one cabin, no real lounge area to speak of, no means of enclosing the main deck and achieves poor fuel economy at cruising speed despite having foils ?

[@samwise4me903]

So this is 43 foot boat that has a huge flybridge, big enough to carry a tender. It plows effortlessly through medium sized waves. It is low maintenance. It has plenty of advanced features. I love its minimalist approach, they avoided electrifying everything. A couple can overnight. It's fast, maneuverable, the outboard motors are a big plus, love it! The only downside really is that moving forward from stern to bow while underway at speed is downright dangerous, I would never even try it. So you would have to come to a stop if someone needed to access the bow once you leave the dock. Not a big deal. I can also envision some scenarios were tying up at the end of your trip might be difficult due to the awkward nature of its (lack of) side decks. But no boat is perfect. I would consider this to be the ultimate 'day boat'.

[@markhudson6137]

Hiya Vico, Great boat and a great video, thank you for both. It's lovely that you are still looking for new things to incorporate into the Nauti boat, and finding them too. I remember being on a hydrofoil ferry from St.Marlo in north France heading back to Jersey, the first one in the English channel, when the sea state got so rough the captain had to come down off the step and the stew was seasick, her being sick set off a load of the passengers, and she had to clean it all up... I'm often nauseous, but I was fine, even went outside for a cigarette, yep back when I smoked. In fact, we were on our honeymoon, divorced now though. The reason for the sea state was it was where several tide races met. The boat, yes very good, with plenty of space with no engine room, and beautifully laid out cabling in that starboard hatch, good to see artisans taking that much care. Loved the coffee pass-through, there should be more of those on yachts!!! I live in the Med for three years so know all about cross breezes, we had no air-con back in the late 60s/early 70s. It was in Cyprus, RAF Episkopi and Limersol. I think the hotel we stayed in on our last night was the first time I experienced air con? That was in '71. You young'uns have it so good. Hehehe. Okay, back to the boat, V you were certainly enjoying the high speed, I'm envious... A king-size bed? I'm on one now so know that size well, I need the extra length as I'm 6'4" tall. Yep, the Vandal is a great boat for fun playing, enjoy while you can. Following seas and stiff winds (?) Steve xx
