Yachting World video showing Toby Hodges' cruise and overnight trial aboard the superbly appointed 42CS, sailing from the Contest yard in Medemblik to the Wadden islands. The full report and conclusions are available in our August 2016 issue and on our website here: www.yachtingwor...

Nice review Toby. Wish you would have shown more footage of the cabins. Beautiful boat.

[@jacobrose3428]

'No contest" loving the mad pun at the end hahah

[@CaptainRon85]

Thanks for putting these videos together. Keep up the good work guys.

[@yachticus]

you do a great job Toby - thanks

[@tahoo2121]

I really like and appreciate the video reviews you present but this video is very low in content. It does not measure against previous posts. Please, keep the usual review depth and quality.Thanks for the many good reviews.

Modern classic..quality build .

Lovely yacht, looks like a fantastic performer by all accounts. Bit too pricey and overengineered for the tropical around the world sailing we're doing from next year though... guess we're not the target market, as much as I have a soft spot for Contests. Looks like it's still the Hanse 455 and Dufour 460 as our shortlist yachts for next year...

[@gregjerogin3401]

Both of these are still nice yachts!

[@malthus101]

how is it over-engineered?

[@the.magnus]

Hi toby, I wish u made these videos longer with more detail

[@Ok-551]

Nice review. Very enjoyable.

[@chikken_soup]

Slick looking yacht

[@plstrom]

love it

[@dinkaboutit4228]

LOL If the water's 40°, it's not a "white Sandy beach," it's a shore.

[@v8powerforyou]

what about the VIlm 41 Ds? I think it looks much better, has a classic interior and is so much cheaper

[@thinlet1]

Nice video

[@viarnay]

Such a hell of a job, isn't it?

[@SmokinPipeGuy]

No Contest! Nice sailing vessel for sure!

[@billhanna8838]

Nice neet & strong .

[@danagle9877]

This doesn't really show anything. Some motoring with nice scenery is not a review. I don't even know what "On Test" means in the context of this video; nothing appeared to be tested at all.

[@VirtanenDK]

It's not that hard, they do short video's to sell a magazine !!

[@hv7978]

Real Dutch quality

[@stianditlevsen2645]

Price....?

[@garyrahn2172]

Seems to pitch quite a bit.

[@swiaxy]

The song that keeps playing throughout the video is clearly an instrumental cover of Teardrop by Massive Attack. Anyone know where to find this version of it?

[@malthus101]

Um, just listen to teardrop tard.

[@JetWings]

O God It's been too long Toby suddenly grew so much grey hair.

[@malthus101]

those windows (or lack thereof) truly suck on this boat - otherwise looks nice.

[@MrYort13]

Way to many questions left on table .. needs more details.

[@helmutdiez4306]

Toby: your reports are since so many years extremely valuable. Thank you so much. But: this kind of music which is complete senceless!!! Stop to use it. You don’t need that! You report about sailing with the sounds of wind driving you and not with any small minded idiots’ sounds which costs nothing

[@xxkasperxx]

Sense or privacy from ummm ....anyways

[@arijit020]

This guy seems to be modelling more than reviewing. i dont remember thei name, but the previous reviewers were much better.

[@JohnJohn-cu7nk]

Call your boat another brands name. Weird 🤯😳😣

[@malthus101]

"it's no contest" - how long did it take you to think that up? 🤡 I don't know who's worse, yacht people or watch people.

[@yachtingworld]

Or people who use the term 'yacht people' perhaps?

[@malthus101]

@@yachtingworldnope.

[@PhilippSchiffer]

I don't think of Herring, I think of disgusting fried burgers.

[@LeonAllanDavis]

More pictures of the pretty boy posing than of the actual boat. Gay, gay, gay...

[@SA-zv4wr]

A bit cave-like boat...
