REVIEW ALL THE EVIDENCE ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL
Sun Odyssey 350
Let’s start with one of the champions of views on our channel, the Sun Odyssey 350. With almost 22,000 clicks this 11-meter was undoubtedly one of the most “pop” models in readers’ ratings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H-N5dAgihY
Junda KII
A more niche boat designed for sport sailing and one-design racing. She may not have been the champion of views on our YouTube channel, but she gave us so much enjoyment during our test. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VYJD4nlkX0&t=144s
Italy Yachts 12.98
Staying in the vein of boats that are extremely “enjoyable from a sailing point of view, a special mention undoubtedly deserves the Italia Yachts 12.98, a jewel of made in Italy by Cossutti. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOhj3YH_F98&t=42s
Mono vs Cat
Another of the most viewed videos on our channel was the ultimate super comparison between monohulls and catamarans. We tried to weigh the pros and cons of the two genres in detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug6Hu29JFJI&t=165s
Viko S35
The absolute champion of views is the Croatian 11-meter, with as many as 37 thousand clicks, which landed in Italy with Adriaship. A boat that also attracts because of its low-cost appearance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiqKsj9N8bQ&t=17s
Hanse 360
And if we’re talking about pop boats, how can we not mention Hanse’s new 11-meter? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF1nayiNdFA&t=28s
Y8
Going decidedly up a notch, here’s one of YYachts’ latest goodies, a boat that can’t go unnoticed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GJDV2FURq4&t=311s
Grand Soleil 52 Performance
There have been several models from Cantiere del Pardo that our editorial team has tested in 2024, the 52 P designed by Polli being the latest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ-Jv0BDaW8&t=310s
