1. I am glad to see that Beneteau have worked on the quality of their yachts. Back in the nineties I bought a 37 footer from them. After four years of legal wrangling they settled out of court. After two years the hull had osmosis and delamination and I was far from the only one. If fairness they had a bad couple of years back then with a load of legal claims. I took the money and stupidly bought an ex charter First 501 in St Maartin and brought her back to the UK. We spent a few pounds bringing her up to standard and had decades of trouble free sailing. I suppose I should be glad of a bit of hull rot after all.

2. 40° spreader – would rather have the backstays then

3. I like to see the market offering smallish boats. I understand that corners have to be cut in order to make them profitable, but not like this. The lack of backstay comes with a few problems, as presentend by Stocker, and I'm not sure wether the few bucs it saves are worth the trade-offs you'll have to deal with, and the lack of handrails is not a bug anymore, it's a feature of these boats unfortunatelly.

4. Such a good looking boat. I have a 2002 SO 40 which I love! (tour on my channel) I managed to get on the 37 at the boat show was great really like the hull windows you can look out. Had a floating apartment/hotel feel to it.

5. Thank you for this great, very detailed video. Please keep them coming, much appreciated

6. Would be an ok boat if it had a 1. 50year old design (everyone knows they're the best) 2. No easy access to the water (canoe stern) 3. Single wheel and skeg hung rudder (can't be too safe with wild orcas around) 4. Way too bright in there… where is the dark wood everywhere?? 5. Way too wide. ALL good sailors know you need very narrow beam so that when you bounce around you don't fall into stuff. 6. Most importantly you need a full encapsulated keel to survive groundings. Also, 1 in every 2 keel bolts break every time (that's fact, not internet myth)
   So yea… not bad, but it's definitely not BLUE water or CLASSIC….. LOLOLOL
   Great job on the tour, covered it all really well. Amazing how far boats have progressed in just the last 30 years.

7. I’m just happy to see Theo back! I thought maybe him and Tobey had an anime style sailboat death match race and Theo lost. Glad I was wrong

8. No mirror above the sink in the heads, somewhere else? Can’t buy this boat!! Wifey will not approve.

9. Beautiful cottage on the water.
   They just slam bad on foul weather.

10. Nice review Theo

11. Great to have such a full and detailed review video

12. Excellent review. Nice weekender boat. However, we cruise and often spend a month on board, so this boat's bland interior is a disappointment, very IKEA'esque, and the master cabin is too small. Once you've had a full beam master cabin with walk around island double bed there is no going back to crawling up steps or over a berth. Also as some folk anchor out most nights on long passages, a forward V berth is not only small and relatively cramped but a noisy place sleeping over the wavelets hitting the bow. Mid or after cabin a nicer place to spend the night on anchor or a visitor mooring buoy. In the era of tablets and chart plotters a chart table just doesn't get used anymore, not even for pilot books when such is available online via tablet. Vital for us is a generator, microwave, electric hob, etc. We don't fit into the typical Benteau format, a deck saloon with large bright windows is more appealing and some darker mahogany traditional finish rather than bright veneer. To get the sort of features we want we probably need a 50ft or 55ft boat with all the sail controls and electric winches back to the cockpit.

13. Very reasonable spec, nice layout. I think the longitudinal galley is a big plus on a boat under 40ft. Love the garage in this 2-cabin version, as well as the very sensible bridle on the main and the swept spreader rig. This is all a proven no-fuss setup for easy single handing. For downwind work just reef the main and fly the code zero … that this could be controversial at all is a mystery for armchair sailors to ponder. The downside: this interior has all the charm of a 1990s budget camping trailer. 🤢 I could live with it … but the spec looks like a First model, not an Oceanis.

14. That main is a bit ridiculous…all for the sake of not having to put on reefs ? It's not a large, heavy boat…

15. Not being able to play the main from the helm is a deal breaker for any boat.

16. Nice boat you got in this MUSTO commercial).

17. I like Theo’s reviews. Great detail, well presented.
