1. Sweet little pocket cruiser. Not to bad price wise either. I'd be worried the cabin would be really hot though in the summer. Didn't really see any portlights.

2. 140K for a 28' boat that my kids can fall off the back of?

3. Lack of headroom is unacceptable.

4. Got intrigued so went to look at the 39ft model, and tbh, if the put a Mainsheet in the Cockpit and Twin Rudders on a Sailboat, it definitely leaves way to much to be desired from a builder of what markets itself as some sort of Cruising Sailboat. Probably fit for Sailboat Racing Loonies, but absolutely bloody useless for Cruising Sailors like me disappountingly. Pretty colour schemes dont help cut the Mustard when the Shit gets serious do they Toby? 🤔

5. Hey Toby, try Ocean’s Lab 20m. Racing yacht which swaps a generator and marine diesel for a fuel cell stack and solar panels!

6. Sweet little boat. I could see myself noodling around NY harbor in that. I could buy a used boat of good quality for a quarter to half that price. In 10 years or so those might make good used boats.

7. Hey Toby – could you address the open transoms in some more detail – I think you've touched on them before. You see quite a few of them so they must not really be unsafe. If you have small children I'm not sure a sailboat is a great place to start with. There are some YouTube sailing/cruising channels where they have small children SV Delos comes to mind and there is a lot of preparation involved. Delos is also an Amels which is a very different sort of sailboat.

8. Why do German boat builders like Dehler and Bente design interiors with stoves that don’t gimbal?

9. I think this is the best designed sub-30' cruiser I've seen. I could see a ton of fun to be had gunkholing around an island group or club racing.

10. Not a cruising boat. Where is the privacy between the cabins?

11. I like it and I guess it would be fun to sail in a breeze but I am seventy so not for me. I spent decades sailing a Contessa 26 in my younger days so I understand small. It is good that these boats are being produced and will make an affordable first boat a few year from now on the used market. Without boats like this many people would never afford to get into sailing.

12. Not sure how £140k 'offers plenty for the price': plenty of high spec used boats bigger and better than this for half the price

13. How much? It's not even British Made.

14. Set aside the design, and you will see a cheaply made Polish boat, with materials and solutions which are much less expensive and labor intensive than found on eg. Maxus Polish made sailboats. But the price is at least twice as much as Maxus 26 with good options

15. Nice little boat, not that cheap though (base price 100k Euro approximately), and it absolutely is a day sailor and not a cruiser, as you said. That is also, what Bente sells it as. It does not even got an anchor or windlass or for that matter a place to install either, for crying out loud. Heck, the couple at Sailing Uma has cruised on a very old 28ft monohul for nine years now, which they bought for 5.000 US Dollars right after college and fixed up. I just could not do that. The first couple of years they even cruised the Caribbeans with no sea rails at all on the boat, which is just dangerous. That leads me to, where would you put the safety gear necessary for fulltime cruising on a boat like this?
