Cosa tratta questo video

The Dufour Yachts 48 is tested in Vålen in 11–12 meters per second of wind, reaching a top logged speed of 9.7 knots.▶ 8:41 The boat is sailed with a reefed mainsail and a self-tacking jib, and Thomas Nilsson notes the self-tacker opens too much at the top in these conditions — a barber hauler is recommended to close the leech.▶ 2:02 Upwind, the boat makes 7.5 knots; steering is described as neutral and direct, though the helm seat sits too low, leaving the helmsman wet.▶ 1:53 The boat carries no backstay, which limits fine-tuning of the headsail.▶ 8:51 Under engine at 2,200 rpm the boat makes 7.5 knots at a comfortable noise level; top motor speed reaches 9 knots.▶ 8:57 Interior layout offers three to five cabins depending on configuration; this test boat carries three.▶ 4:13 The large U-shaped galley to port features deep drawers and an oversized refrigerator.▶ 4:13 A notable construction concern: unlacquered fiberglass edges in the bilge and under the cockpit will absorb moisture if a leak develops, and Nilsson recommends sealing them immediately after purchase.▶ 6:37 Starting price is seven million Norwegian kroner.▶ 0:46
