I want one so bad but I`m just a factory working numpty.

Glad this is over !
-
Yep! Next time. Lavalier mic, with wind shield. Great video anyway. I want a boat like that. Maybe I'll drop an extra dollar on the Mega Millions next week.

They should have placed the throttle higher up as to make it easier to reach without bending over.
-
That's a great job docking - especially considering it's a single screw boat!

Looks like very easy handling. Thanks for the video.
-
Nice docking. Even if it was under very good conditions it was perfect.
-
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. It's not fair, you make it look so easy. Every time i leave and enters the harbour with my 17 foot boat with a 40 hk, my hearth is racing and i'm almost pissing in my pants. More practice i guess.

Where's the fun of sailing a boat that is "all" electronic?

a - a m a z i n g !

Does anyone make a big boat that only has one big sail that works as well?
-
So if you change direction i guess youd have to pull in the jib and then let it out again on the other side of the main sail? Ive always wanted to learn how to sail but i think id end up with spaghetti for rigging and a beached landing craft for a sail boat.

excellent demonstration

Very nice!

Good demo.

Awesome vid. Very helpful. Do you teach?? lol Getting ready to sell my powerboat and buy a sailboat and begin cruising...

Thanks for the vid Ian, interesting to see how easy it was to handle such a large yacht. Cheers
-
Very interesting - not seen a video like this.

I see the possibility to handle a yacht with no hands at all.
I have spoken to lot's of clients and potential buyers who ask the same question. Can this yacht be handled by myself or shorthanded? I always answer yes; the reasons are that when you get up to a vessel of 50ft or greater it actually becomes easier believe it or not. The reason for this is you start finding bow thrusters on 50+ yachts along with electric winches and in Jeanneau's case the way we order the yachts 53 + electric Genoa furler's. all of these options and with the new modern hull design make single handling a vessel of this size very easy. Actually I even find it easier to sail this 57 then my own Jeanneau 39i P.V. I hope that you find this video helpful in explaining what I'm trying to say and if you would like additional information on the Jeanneau product or are looking to buy or sell a yacht please feel free to contact me at any time day or night at 1-619-507-4416 or ianvt@cruisingyachts.net I look forward to hearing from you.
