YACHT invited three current ships with deck saloons around twelve metres in hull length to Neustadt on the Baltic Sea for a comparison. Two ships from Germany, the Moody DS 41 and the Sirius 40 DS, as well as a yacht from Denmark, the Nordship 380 DS, took up the challenge. In the first part in issue 18/2020 of YACHT, we highlighted the very different approaches of the manufacturers to the deck saloon theme and compared the interior fittings. This has shown: Not all deck saloons are the same.
In the second part, the three test boats now have to prove what they can do under sail. On the comparative test bench: the layouts on deck, the functionality in handling as well as the equipment and details on deck. And last but not least, we took a closer look at the price lists.
