A review of the Virtue V10 Open boat has just appeared in this autumn’s issue of the Dutch yachting magazine Nautique. The author of the review, Alfred J. Boer, tested the vessel personally during a cruise on the Gulf of Gdansk. Are you curious what his impressions are? We invite you to summarize the review.

Virtue V10 testing

During the past year, Virtue Yachts boats have been tested by many independent reviewers. We always appreciate honest and reliable reviews, especially when they appear in the international trade press. This time, the popular Dutch magazine Nautique wrote about the Virtue V10 in its October-November issue.

Our boat was tested in no mean conditions, namely in the Baltic Sea, which can surprise with the variability of the weather, where it coped very well. As Alfred J. Boer summed up, representatives of the Polish yachting industry are in no way inferior to manufacturers from the countries that are the pioneers of yachting. For Virtue Yachts, still a young brand on the market, these words are very encouraging and mean a lot in terms of further development of the brand.

Advantages & disadvantages

As the journalist noted, what speaks most in favor of the Virtue V10 is its solid construction, excellent finish (thoughtful details) and top-level sailing characteristics. And what are its downsides? Probably only that it’s hard to decide which version to choose: open or top (with a roof).

Mercury Verado engines

What was also highlighted in the review is that the Virtue V10 also has great potential in terms of speed. That’s thanks to the unit’s outfitting with two 300 hp Mercury Verado engines. The whole thing is complemented by the tried and tested Swedish Petestep hull, which provides predictable drag, keeping fuel consumption relatively low during cruising.

Also noteworthy is the boat’s comprehensive and luxurious equipment, from small details to multifunctional equipment in the cockpit, to such amenities as folding balconies on the sides of the boat, providing additional space for recreation and relaxation. For those who care about aesthetics, the reviewer also notes the clever anchor installation on the V10. In many boats this element is simply unsightly, while in Virtue an elegant solution has been developed in which the anchor remains hidden behind the hatch in the bow section, fully blending into the design of the premium boat.

Conclusions

In conclusion, according to the author of the article, the Virtue V10 Open is a boat with excellent qualities that surprises on many fronts.
