Jeanneau TH38: A Revolution in Family Cruising? | Full Tour & Test | Motor Boat & Yachting

Описание: If you're looking for a manageable, multi-purpose family boat that can handle both the sun and the shelter, you could do a lot worse than a compact pilot house boat.

In this video, Alex Smith takes the Jeanneau TH38 for a sea trial in Cannes to see if this new "Twin Hull" weekender can deliver on its promise of authentic cruising. At nearly 39ft and with a beam that makes up 36% of its length, it’s a fascinating study in space management.

Alex explores the innovative sliding cockpit furniture, the step-through windscreen, and the symmetrical twin-cabin layout, before pushing the twin 350hp outboards to the limit to test that famous flying carpet catamaran ride.
