Yes she really knows her stuff. She was my skipper on a 60ft Clipper ocean racer in 2021. She even made bread and scones while we're at sea!!

Many, many years ago I had a Contessa 26. Gawd was she a wet boat to sail. Gawd was she small. Gawd was she uncomfortable, Gawd was she badly equipped. Gawd how I loved that little boat. For all her faults I have never had the same affection for another boat that I have owned. Now retired and mostly day sailing I am looking for another one to potter with and perhaps pass on to my grandson as his first boat. Great video! Such a change from counting lockers and fridge space, thanks.

Top notch review from Rachael, a review by an experienced and calm sailor for other sailors. Could not be better. And the boat is lovely, with the only issues as highlighted being deck access to the chain locker, and the lack of deck stowage which could be a pain on a long voyage. Thank you

Beautiful boat and an amazing presentation, well done! As an owner of a S&S 1976 Bianca 36 I completely agree with the love for 70's boats, they look beautiful unlike most modern boats. And they sail beautifully if designed right. It's really nice to see that you take the time to look at some older designs as well and not just modern boats 🙂

Thanks for the journey down nostalgia lane, and the type of boat I used to drool over in my younger days. Radically different to what I need today, sad to say, if I want to stay under Sail with my next Sailboat. Luckily some more recent designs can fit what I need. Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bob. 🤔👍⛵️✨️

As usual Yachting Monthly does a great, thorough review. Surprised I didn’t know this boat! If we weren’t happy with our Crealock 37 I’d be looking one of these. Smart, classic bluewater hull shape, clever, well thought out, and looks a great sailor.

Does the water tank in the keel negate some of the weighted keel when it’s empty or it’s too small a difference to matter?

Hopefully - if it’s empty you are 8n harbour and about to top it up, otherwise you are in the dwang.

Yachting Monthly, great chanel indeed. Contesa boats? Not so. Bolt on keel = fall off & kill. NO THANKS. Most modern yachts have very few real safety features. Sad but true.
@jaywhitestone4626

Agree with your sentiments, but if you rule out bolt-on keels, isn’t Kraken the only single manufacturer making an integral keel today? Even in the used boat world, you’d have to expand your search to go decades back, and you’ll still eliminate the overwhelming majority of boats. So you either have >$1m for a Kraken, or just a handful of older, well-built boats waiting for your major refit

@@jaywhitestone4626 Kracken, Passport, Hylas, Island Packet, Outbound all still make integral keel yachts. They are just ones i remember off the top of my head. There are others. Swing keels (not lifting keels)are much safer too. There are many manufacturers there. There are better options available than Bolt on, if safety is your number 1 priority & cost is not a factor. Too many people have died since the introduction of bolt ons from keels in the 1980's till now ripping away from the hull, but most boat manufacturers forget to mention that when selling their products to customers who are not aware of this. Safest is integral, swing or catamarans with hull keels, not dagger boards. I think eventually bolt ons will be outlawed, as so many have died from them in the last 40 years. Some thing to consider Jay. Safe sailing my friend.

So.. How many fatalities from fixed keel vs bolt on as a percentage? To shear a modern “bolt on keel” requires design flaw. Stats record only one person a year dying from a sheared keel and if those odds scare you(30 in the last 3 decades) considering how many sailors and boats there are I would stay at home and wrap yourself in cotton wool if I was you. 😆
