Full Tour of the Bluewater 56 | Kevlar Offshore Yacht
Full in-depth walkthrough of the Bluewater 56 — a Kevlar/Twaron-reinforced offshore sailboat designed for real bluewater passagemaking. This isn’t just a quick deck shot; it’s a detailed 90-minute tour filmed after I spent six weeks commissioning this yacht in Mallorca.
📕 My book: Be The Captain → https://bethecaptain.com.
In this video, you’ll see:
– German Frers’ design choices for offshore safety and performance
– Kevlar/Twaron hull construction — stronger than aluminum or steel?
– Deck layout and sail-handling systems for shorthanded passagemaking
– Interior layout, tankage, and systems access for serious liveaboard use
– My candid thoughts from commissioning the boat before she hit the water
