Într-un test în două părți am văzut cum Discovery 57 a îmblânzit un furtună F8 cu rafale de 10, înainte de a ieși din nou în condiții mai prietenoase pentru a face câteva poze. Pentru 1,3 milioane de lire sterline primești un dispozitiv de trecere de lux, frumos construit, ușor de navigat singur, fiabil și gata pentru întreaga lume.

I wish the presenter would enunciate. Hard to understand.
Great boat.. helm is awfully exposed. He said an arch with panels would allow the bimini to extend.. but still..
Only draw back…. the cockpit is in the weather… he says you can have it all covered but as is… it is not… If you have ever crossed the Atlantic and bounced around in the Pacific you know you want a covered, out of the wind, dry, and air conditioned (at least heat) while underway in open seas.
That's a lot of stuff that can break—as it always does.
I would love to see more of these & some review comments about the boat as well! The Discovery 67/68 interests me, any input is appreciated!!
Have a look at Elley Grey a grp St. Malo pilot cutter replica from 1896 , delivered 2012 stunning and for sale .
Excellent demo, well done.
Normally great presentations but this time we were not shown either the forward or aft berth. Also, it is an expensive boat that leaves the helmsman high up and exposed.
I would like Chris Beeson back!
Fuck all these interrupting commercials!
YouTube is not what it was!!!!
She's a beautiful boat and I like a lot of things about her (that nav station!!!!, the bilge pumps in the water proof compartments, the spinnaker pole handling, and of course her sailing performance) but after spending a lot of time on Amel's, there are some things that bug the crap out of me with her too:
1) Those helm stations are far too exposed. After cruising thousands of miles offshore, the novelty of being out in the elements in force 8 winds has worn off. It makes 3-4 hour watches brutal (although it pretty much guarantees you won't fall asleep as you'll be so miserable).
2) All those windows in the hull and the sides of the coach roof are wonderful on grey blustery days around the UK and northern coasts of France, but in the Med, the Caribbean or South Pacific, it will turn that boat into a greenhouse and all that beautiful woodwork will be bleached to nothing in no time. I love how airy and open it looks but practically, I suspect that within days of hitting the warmer climates, the owners will be installing curtains blocking everything anyway. I also think those hull windows are going to be a source of leaks and condensation.
3) The cabin has no natural flow… you have to walk through a tight galley to get in/out of the aft cabin, the shower was cruel and unusual punishment, the engine room access from inside the boat (you'd think it would be a feature but who wants to smell diesel and bilge smells in the boat on a stormy passage?). I like the way Amel does it with a totally separate (and water tight) compartment for all the mechanical/electric systems much better. It also seemed like a smaller room but that could just be the camera angle.
4) For £1.3m, you should at least get solid lifelines and stanchions rather than those crappy nylon covered cables that rot out in 5 years. Although Chris was impressed with the rigidity of the stanchions, I noticed it wobbled a fair bit as he yanked on them and putting 1" of one end of a 3' pole into the toe rail is giving one hell of a lever to rip your toe rail apart (a 1 lb force at the top of the stanchion will have a 333 lb sideways force at the toe rail). I really wasn't impressed by that.
5) Did you see that Boom Vang at https://youtu.be/mXgC9c3yUes?t=184? It doesn't look suitable for anything other than holding the boom up when replacing the topping lift in the marina and even then, it is very short for such a long boom.
6) The Genoa winches (at 4:52) look to be quite hard to access if you are doing them manually… yes, I know the boat is fully automatic but there are times such as on the 2am watch when you don't want to wake up the dead by cranking on the big winches and would do it manually.. they are outside so even if you had the cockpit fully enclosed, you'd have to go out or lift up the enclosure to get at them.
7) I won't get into the whole discussion the virtues of a deck stepped vs keel stepped mast but I do think that bringing a cold mast into a warm cabin is an invitation for condensation, if not leaks around the imperfect seals, so would have liked to see how they drain it (or shown some insulation on the access doors).
Still, she's a beautiful boat and there are lots of things to really admire about her. She seems very well put together and I really liked Chris's review. We miss you Chris… you do the best boat reviews! (And for those who have trouble understanding him, I'd suggest you get off your couch and travel some!)
I'm sorry but the video is made to you or to the boat – because I saw very little of the boat
Wow. One winch probably cost us much as my boat
i died laughing at 9:02… too much
Junk two Cockpits???? dumb wasted space
So, this boat says 4 things to me: 1) beautiful, 2) fast, 3) stable, 4) easy.
So that’s pretty much either for old or for lazy people, right?
Love this guy's reviews
Don't like the exposed helm stations. Would really be miserable in any rough weather. But love the presentations which he does with his little suggestions on what to make it better.
Very clever…
All these for one owner, selfish, should donate to the poor and social security
I would love to be used on one
300$an hour no limits in Hb
The screen housing on the nav station will kill someone in rolling conditions at sea. It’s a weapon.
Camera man show this man all time. Why don't show yacht ?
In the owner’s cabin, why was there so much sounds of water sloshing and slipping around? Very noisy…
Worth visiting http://www.discoveryyachtowner.com for a fuller picture.
not worth twice th price of a new jeanneau 57 i need a 57 caus im 6ft 2– headrn
I would give a left testicle to go back in time and buy a sailboat when my kids were still young.
This guy does a great presentation. Unfortunately his pronunciation is terrible. Hard to follow for a non English mother-tongue (and a boater!). Captions can't follow him neither, so come up misleading.
Bring this guy back , great review
Whatever in God's name happen to this gentleman?
The reviews are to the point and at speed .Most other reviews are to dragged out,Time to start reviewing more boats.This presenter should do videos teaching sailing.
What a terrible camera man!
Anybody want a kidney for 1.3 million dollars
This is my kinda boat
I now understand why the Discovery is expensive. Beautifully set up.
This is really nitpicking here but I don't like the chart table for two reasons. First the electric motor to lift the display is unnecessary and anther part that will fail at some point. (It is a boat and the first immutable fact is that boats break) Second, the sat phone and plotter are under the table, so how long before someone spills a drink and buggers them both. I also don't like to duel helm for the same reason. Mores stuff to maintain and more stuff to break.
i love discovery yachts. very smart layout inside and out!
