Gemini model differences - Cruisers & Sailing Forums
Feb 17, 2016 · Posts: 11,004. Re: Gemini model differences. The newer models are generally stronger thru design but you will see more flex than an old mono lead bomb where weight is largely irrelevant. We have a 3400 and I'm a little too large but no problems with me walking around on deck over the 9 years we've owned valhalla.
Island Packet Model Comparison - Cruisers & Sailing Forums
May 8, 2014 · Images: 54. Re: Island Packet Model Comparison. We loved our IP 380. Folks that have never sailed an IP will parrot the old saw about IP's being slow, but that's BS, at least for the more modern designs. I never did round-the-buoy racing, but we were generally the first boat into the anchorage on yacht club cruises.
Model comparison Beneteau 393, 400, 411 - Cruisers Forum
Jun 7, 2012 · The main difference is the lay-out and whether you get an owners version or a charter version. The 400 and 411 are older models than the 393. I take it you prefer the charter (3 stateroom) version. I do not like them as in most cases the galley is then run on one side of the saloon rather than tucked in a corner, aft.

New outremer model coming - Cruisers & Sailing Forums
Posts: 349. Re: New outremer model coming. I started out in the Outremer camp myself, having owned high end sports cars over the years, the idea of sailing “slow” didn’t seem appealing to me. I test sailed the 51 for a day, simply awesome. Then decided it would be a good idea to go charter a few boats and talk to real cruisers before ...

Tips for docking dual rudder boats - Cruisers & Sailing Forums
Apr 14, 2021 · Re: Tips for docking dual rudder boats. Kenny, Nice boat. I have chartered a Jeanneau 349 and 389 and when I chartered them the bow thruster didn't work. +1 on the 1 knot of speed. I assume you already have a slip for your boat and I would suggest just trying it out with a friend to help either on the boat or dock on a calm day.

Center vs Aft Cockpit Sailboats - Cruisers & Sailing Forums
Jan 17, 2021 · My 47 foot center cockpit is considerably drier than my 38 foot aft cockpit was. The rolling motion difference is negligible, it’s fairly slow. The feel of the pitching when you are above deck is less with the cc but not dramatically. Both are good sea boats. 34000 lbs and 18000 lbs empty respectively.
What sailboat models have a Swim Platform? - Cruisers & Sailing …
The Beneteau Oceanis models - particularly the 41 and 45 have a lovely, retractable swim platform. A very compelling feature of these boats. May not help you much, as these are fairly new models, but seems to be the ultimate as far as this kind of feature goes.
