New boat prices

[Lucky Duck]

The stated price is £6.8m ex VAT, hopefully there is a decimal point in the wrong place

Even shifting the decimal point still leaves it almost double a respectable price.

It's a tad over £500k + vat, where is the £6.8 million?

Looks like a Bavaria to me.
Although the wood like finish in a new Bavaria is a nicer colour than that.

I'm sure it's a perfectly good boat but windows in the hull just kill the looks of it to my eyes.

At the time of the original post the stated price was £6,820,000 ex VAT.

It seems that has now been corrected.

I'm sure they'd be happy to discuss not having those windows when you place your order. New boats are always a bit custom.

So the decimal point was in the really wrong place, it wasn't even near the right numerals

Thanks for the tip. It doesn't work with HR though. I met a HR 39 owner who wanted chairs instead of a berth opposite the saloon table. They only agreed to do it when he refused to buy the boat otherwise, and charged him something like £5,000 for doing it. A year later he noticed that it was offered as a no-cost option.

Doing business with HR has always a somewhat acquired taste. They’ve never really done humility or that the customer might be right!

True. On the other hand, they are efficient. The boat will be delivered on the day chosen, and you get a banker's guarantee with your order.

One of the cons listed in the article is: heads forward of the saloon.

Why would this be a con?
Both my current and previous boat had the heads forward of the saloon and I never found this to be an issue.

Unlikely - the teenager would be able to master the website update. More likely an old codger was allowed to do it, and had lost his/her reading glasses

The original was a Euro figure rather than £s which ties up with the correction.

Maybe Krona - that makes the figure more or less line up.

Try keeping the saloon dry as you pass through it in soaking wet kit for a call of nature on a dark and stormy night.

In the world I live in they not only have mastered the website, but have made it 10 time more efficient and tuned the webserver’s kernel to make it three times faster before I've found my reading glasses.

Traditional yachts of our sort of size always had the heads forward and nobody complained. It was only the arrival of the aft cabin, too late for the Sadler 34 for example, that made aft heads normal. They are of course more practical and give more headroom. I’m sure that on your dark and stormy night you could relieve yourself on the cockpit sole and let it wash away if you consideration for your companions runs that high.

I don't think I would be to happy if someone took a dump on the cockpit deck.
