This boat, I've since discovered, is unlike anything I've ever tested before. Sealegs has designed this boat to take the hassle out of launch and retrieve.
The afternoon we spent on Sydney Harbour was in windy but reasonable weather. The Volvos delivered enough power to push the 32 open to a speed of 35 knots with a bit of grunt left to spare.
This is not the largest sportscruiser manufactured by Sea Ray (that honour going to the 610) but it's every bit as luxurious and awe-inspiring.
After a few hours in it, we're happy to report that a Stacer 475 EasyRider is an excellent rendition of the theme. As a cruise about family fun boat it handles like precious few aluminium hulls ever have and as a fishing boat, it also deserves an even closer look.
It’s easy to get up to the Aegean 60’s flybridge: there’s an internal staircase on the starboard side, just aft of the lower helm.
Black is the new black. And it looks as good as it ever has shining on the topsides of the Riviera 61 Enclosed Flybridge.
As with all Hanses, the self-tacking jib helps define the boat’s character. Social sailors who may be put off by the busy-ness of tacking headsails will be astounded by the way this boat handles under sail.
You board via the large duckboard into the 17.7sqm cockpit. This is a massive entertaining space that would make an inner-city apartment-owner jealous.
The Cobalt has plenty of well-considered stowage areas including a huge, hinged space forward of the helm large enough to take a dozen life vests and all my camera gear.
This is a really well-thought-out boat. The owner had only had a short run offshore, but found she handled 25 knots on the nose really well,
