FORUMS OPINION REQUEST moody v legend v jeanneau v beneteau

[Jobs_a_ good_ un]

Had a look around a hanse on saturday and one thing i noticed it did look very pointy and looks as though it would cut through the water well
The owners really rated it compared to a friends bavaria they reckon it left them standing twas a 37 ft er
They dont seem any dearer than a jeanneau or benetteau

OXFORD BLUE is a SO40. She used to belong to the MD of Westways, the Jeanneau dealer in Plymouth, so will be well specced. But she's not much bigger inside than a 36 except for the aft cabin which is bigger - and 2 wheels if that appeals (it doesn't to me).

SO40 is actually 38'4"

pointy isn't always fast!

boat speed is much more complex than that....

Saying that..... the Hanse's do seem to go well!

Its a really cracking looking boat we were moored next to it for a couple of mths
I know you shouldnt be biased by the colour but i really like navy blue

 

[Seven Spades]

Moodys are likely to be the best built, but also the slowest. personally I think the Moody 36 is a really great boat. It is really nicely thought out, safe and comfortable.

Re: Nahhh.......one of these.

The ben is a great boat, I went all over a 423 oceanis fairly recently in the Med. she was up for sale with Ancasta in Port Napoleon.
Lots of goodies and a nice wood interior, as good as any I have seen.

Only problem was in mast furling.....not keen myself, but still a good looking yacht.

Re: Nahhh.......one of these.

Someone else said they didnt like in mast furling today whats the problem with it ?

 

[poter]

Re: Nahhh.......one of these.

Nothing really, especially with modern kit but.....in a pinch I would much rather have the option on just "droping the sails" than having a main sail jam up on me.
but I am a bit old fashoned, heck I even have those chart things in my chart table and no electronic charting!!

takes all Salts.

Having said that, I have yet to overtake Sailorman in his Oyster 37 /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
But I suspect he motorsails a lot /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
