1. Crap boat

2. Interest boat with a bullshitt footege. A forced wide-angle camera in a limp hand.

3. Please give my regards to Pete. He may remember that I sailed the winning multihull in the same 3 Peaks Race that he sailed the first monohull. Its a slightly "in joke" type question but pleases ask him if he has fitted rowlocks?

4. Very interesting boat. Has some design features that I that I would like in my next boat. Would like to have more information on the construction and build materials.Oddity is very close to what I want in my next boat.

5. What's the beam of this boat? The spec posted at the end looks like an error.

6. Brilliant concept! I`d expect nothing less from Pete Goss.
   Good Effort ,Royal!
   Here`s to many more adventures! fair winds, mate !

7. Sometimes people name boats and other times, they name themselves.

   Love the function over style choices made here.

8. Where can I find photos of the double cabin?

9. What an amazing boat and owner.

10. Did you get rid of the Garcia?

11. Its a lovely boat and Im so pleased you put her up online, makes me want to see more of her
    but Im sure shes not 31ft in the beam

12. This guy should teach a ‘Cruisers 101’ class. Love his approach to sailing and life.

13. Really enjoyed the video and like the boat a lot! We also plan a combination of coastal and canal/river cruising and went with a Wanderer 36 which is similar in many ways. Very shallow draft, ballast in the hull, centerboard, two cabins and deck saloon with a view. We need a crane to drop the mast onto a cradle for inland cruising but we felt the complexity of the mast lowering rig was not worth it for occasional use. After sailing on a friend’s 44 footer I decided that a smaller boat like this made more sense, so I can understand why Pete switched from the Garcia. See the Bestevaer 36 for a similar concept, designed by and for a guy with big boat experience.

14. One of the best VW Van conversions I’ve ever seen. Practicality, ruins design and architecture, don’t you think?

15. Horses for courses of course. Except this one is a cart horse with a beam of 31ft only a foot shorter than its length. Methinks its going to wollow in a seaway.

16. Very well thought out 32ft yacht. Nice safe gaff rig/ low profile.

17. An absolute gem! Gave me a few ideas for my own boat.

18. Lovely, thought-out boat. I like the practicality of functional, galvanised steel rather than bling. I am surprised though, that 1 solar panel and 1 turbine provide all the power they need – though it is a 3-fuel boat. Refilling the gas bottle for the galley can be difficult, with the several national standards for valves/fill ports.

19. A well-done practical setup with everything you need, and nothing you don't need. Fair winds, mate.

20. Very Maurice Griffiths!

21. Mini?

22. Interesting boat. But dont understand why video showing man more than boat's details.

23. I've just discovered my dream boat – I'm looking for something comfortable to spend 20 years coastal cruising in comfort around Europe, from the Norwegian sea to the Eastern Med and this looks to be it!

24. I don't want it but I love it.

25. She is absolutely stunning.
    I’ve never seen a boat so unique and so focussed on the wide range of functional requirements. There is only on drawback: she’s not the most beautiful.
    Best of luck and fun sailing her!
    Best, Harry
