Has Solaris done it again and is this new 50 as good as it looks?

The original Solaris 50 blazed a trail for sleek Med-suited performance cruisers. Toby Hodges finds the new version is a roomier fast cruiser with similar aesthetic appeal and easy handling. Full review in Yachting World January

Left me hanging on the drinking game, 15:40 in before fiddles was mentioned! :D Cheers for the review, it is a fine looking thing indeed.

Lovely review Toby...of course (as usual!) and a great boat. Beautifully presented yacht and a good price!

[kmk]

just brilliant thank you for these magic moments...

Thank you for yet another pleasant presentation. Love these videos by Toby. Yachting World is really Yachting Now!

It is interesting to see what is possible if you want monohaul that sails very well. Would be interesting to see how it all compares to MOODY 54 DS.

It is always pleasure to watch and listen to Toby introducing us new boats. A big thank you for this fine boat too! But, I'd rather have an Azuree 46!

[riddlerandsa]

on the one hand beautiful. On the other hand it seems like all luxury cruisers today look like shrunken versions of Wallys from 20 years ago. Does Luca get royalties on the design cues every time?! ;)

Don't listen to the haters. You make excellent videos that are very informative and beautiful to watch. BTW, gorgeous boat, any idea what color that was?

[mosca]

Lovely to see the boat sailing. Great stuff.

Beautiful boat, thank you Toby for the tour.

[FXPL]

A beautiful beast, as most Solaris - apart from the absence of proper helm stations. Engine room is also a bit tight for that size of boat.

Nice job Toby. That would be perfect for island hopping around New England. Where can I get a job like yours?

something on this earth that is to die for

[HoneyVoyager]

Fantastic showing of a beautiful boat. Thanks for presenting her in such a straightforward and comprehensive way

[bertmacdonald]

Excellent vid, Toby! She`s definitely a contender !

[andrewkenny]

As a sailer of an old boat like myself I enjoy your presentations you always give a very good review on the sailing performance of the boats you review and give a good tour of the below deck accommodation but at a million euros I will have to stick with my old Moody

What an incredible Yacht, that minimalist ecstatic is appealing.

[alanroberts]

Why do you not show the keel shape and size and attachment to the hull? It is an important feature when describing any yacht.

Just watched this and Contest 49 back to back. Heard water/wave slap on the Solaris, but it was dead quiet in the Contest even under much rougher conditions. Reality or audio differences?

Saw the Solaris 40 at the Southampton Show - beautiful boat, the 50 looks just as good. Shame there’s no traveller tho
