1. Judy and Steve, we all agree that it's time for you to take the dive and move up to a Kraken 50. We know you want to. Please don't disappoint us!

2. I'm addicted to Kraken!

3. The Kraken in Greek mythology was a gigantic sea monster, killed by Perseus I think

4. After 55 years of sailing , Racing , Cruising & Delivering ,A Semi full keel , Skeg hung rudder , Med to heavy displacement , Cutter rigged , Boom furled main & electric winches , Well protected cockpit & a good beer fridge . They are out there But dont come on the market to often .

5. Know nothing about sailing, but Kraken do a great dark rum. 🥃👍

6. I've owned a few modern fin keeled performance yachts, a long keeled traditional yacht and a lifting keel yacht. Happy to admit mainly coastal sailing though although I was part owner of a company that imported modern yachts for a while.
   I think overall I agree with those who prefer the modern yachts. The motion is less rolly, the boats are significantly faster and sail out of trouble more easily. I think the incidence of keel issues with the main brands bolt on keels is vanishingly rare, or explained through unusual circumstances. I think as you mentioned in your video the bulk of people setting off on travels via the ARC or just on their own choose modern spacious yachts and seem fine. There must be a reason why the Kracken is such a niche product. If you really wanted an indestructible boat you would get a steel one and be done with it.

7. Thank you for introducing us this interesting brand and the enchanting beauty of Turkish coast

8. Knidos is one of my favorite places along he Turkish coast. The archeology is amazing. But of course the biggest treasure found there, the Knidos Lion, is in the British Museum in London… sad.

9. I have mixed opinions on this topic. Having owned both fin and modified full keel I prefer the second choice. I have thousands of miles under my belt and will give you a quick example. I was a caretaker on a very new Beneteau 38.1 Oceanis with twin rudders. Wonderful sailing vessel until the winds and seas come up and you are beating into them. You can feel the whole boat reverberate. Twin rudders make it track well, but gosh darn it, I really felt every wave as we were beating. Give me my Union Sailboat double ender. The best guy I can think of to answer this question is John Kretschmer who has over 130 Atlantic crossings on a wide variety of vessels.

10. Spotted a Quantum main!

11. Dick is a great guy with an attention to detail like no other. I enjoyed sailing with Kraken last year, glad you did also!

12. Island packet 439, better!

13. Hi, I’m new here and confused. Why were you looking at Kracken and what exactly Allred you sailing now. ? The interior of your vessel is much superior to me than the kraken although I understand Kracken is more frozen sailing please tell us about your beautiful sailboat thank you kindly I love your show

14. I must say that if I had the money there is no sailboat finer than a kracken. And Dick is a superb individual. I trust him absolutely. He epitomises a boat that will save someone’s live as apposed to say depending your life on a beneteau. They said . The interior of your hand Christian is my dream boat. I can’t imagine having such a magnificent place to live

15. Have you thought of Amel?

16. i would like him to give me one ane see how a compleat novice gos with it around the wourld would be a good test if i can do it any one could ?

17. Awesome

18. I'm not sure how to say either your lady or the kraken is better than each other asthetic there are different but modern verses old really I love them both absolutely stunning creations that move the water seamlessly and glide into the deep blue very jealous of both

19. The biggest stone anchors known to mankind are in Turky just below the Noah's Ark site check out Ron Wyatts Ark discovery's, it will blow your mind

20. 🤔 Dick, did you, or have you ever considered publishing your notebooks of improvements or good ideas?

    I agree with your philosophy that there is no such thing as a universally perfect boat, however, by defining what is the purpose of the boat, one may approach perfection for that purpose. The devil and excellence will always be found in the summation of the details.
