Mon bateau d'occas' / Melody : "Le choix d'un voilier abordable et ultra-fiable"

En 2020, François rachète un Mélody de chez Jeanneau. Le choix d'un bateau fiable et pas trop cher, qu'il ne regrette pas. Il nous en détaille les caractéristiques, avantages et maigres inconvénients.

Écoutez cet article

Un bateau en copropriété père-fils

Son premier bateau, un Flirt, François l'a acheté avec 2 amis. Après 3 ans de navigation commune, la vie les sépare et François doit se décider à trouver un autre voilier, comme nous le raconte le Charentais. "Je me suis initié à la voile sur le Flirt. C'était notre bateau-école, mais l'un des amis est parti faire ses études en Bretagne, et l'autre faire le tour du monde à la voile. Il fallait s'en séparer. Nous avions l'objectif avec mon père de nous trouver un bateau ensemble pour préparer sa retraite. C'était le moment."

Le père et le fils se fixent un cahier des charges en 2 points : un budget maximal de 15 000€ abordable à 2 et une taille de 10 mètres.

L'opportunité du Mélody

En consultant les annonces en ligne, François tombe sur un Mélody de chez Jeanneau , annoncé à 16 000€. Le monocoque de 10,25 mètres, sur terre-plein à Mortagne sur Gironde, n'est pas trop loin de Cognac, son lieu de résidence. Il va donc le voir une première fois et rencontre le propriétaire de 75 ans, qui lui concède que le voilier n'a pas beaucoup navigué ces dernières années.

Peu expérimenté, François fait appel à un ami en formation d'expertise marine qui revient avec lui. Pour lui, le bateau est intéressant et négociable, car il y a des travaux à faire : le safran est à refaire, les assises de cockpit également, tout comme l'électronique qui est à changer. En revanche, le génois est presque neuf et la grand-voile en bon état. Le moteur a été refait et n'a que 80 heures de fonctionnement.

François achète finalement le bateau pour 12 000€. Il réinjectera pour quelques milliers d'euros dans le bateau pour refaire lui-même un safran, changer le bois des assises de cockpit, les aériens, mais aussi repeindre l'intérieur du carré et lui donner un coup de jeune.

Un voilier équipé pour de belles croisières

Le Mélody, dessiné par l'architecte André Mauric a été construit par le chantier Jeanneau entre 1976 et 1982, avec un certain succès, puisque 607 exemplaires ont touché l'eau. Le voilier destiné à la course-croisière affiche un grand tirant d'eau de 1,90 mètre et 2 900 kilos de lest. Avec 75 m2 de voilure au près, dont seulement 25 m2 de grand-voile , il affiche un équilibre typique de son époque.

Du côté des aménagements, le lit breton à l'avant peut accueillir deux équipiers, tout comme la cabine arrière sur tribord. Avec le carré et ses 4 couchages potentiels grâce aux bannettes superposées, on peut potentiellement dormir à 4 sur un Melody. François tempère néanmoins : "On navigue généralement entre 2 et 5 ou 6 au maximum, car le cockpit est plutôt petit pour la taille du bateau."

Une penderie et un toilette en avant du carré, ainsi qu'une table à carte sur tribord et une cuisine sur bâbord avec gazinière sur cardan et glacière avec compresseur de froid , complètent les équipements du bateau.

Un bateau fiable dans toutes les conditions

Pour François, la 1ère qualité du Mélody est sa fiabilité et sa robustesse. "On n'a pas de surprise. Même lorsque l'on a eu un problème de manette de gaz et que l'on est arrivé un peu vite sur le quai, le bateau n'a rien eu."

Marin , le voilier peut affronter des météos engagées. François précise : "Avec son grand tirant d'eau, le bateau est raide à la toile. Ses 6 tonnes font que l'on est bien sécurisé, même dans la mer formée. Son seul inconvénient est au portant, où il roule un peu avec sa forme de carène. Il remonte bien au vent, même s'il est un peu ardent, bien que l'on ait un peu corrigé le safran."

Aujourd'hui père et fils ne regrettent pas leur achat !

My second hand boat / Melody : "The choice of an affordable and ultra-reliable sailboat

In 2020, François bought a Melody from Jeanneau. The choice of a reliable and not too expensive boat, which he does not regret. He tells us about its characteristics, advantages and few disadvantages.

A boat in father-son co-ownership

His first boat, a Flirt, François bought it with 2 friends. After 3 years of sailing together, life separated them and François had to decide to find another sailboat , as the Charentais tells us. "I was introduced to sailing on the Flirt. It was our training boat, but one of our friends left to study in Brittany, and the other to sail around the world. We had to part with it. My father and I wanted to find a boat together to prepare for his retirement. It was the right time."

The father and the son set a schedule of conditions in 2 points: a maximum budget of 15 000euros affordable to 2 and a size of 10 meters.

The Melody opportunity

While consulting the online ads, François came across a Melody from Jeanneau 16 000euros. The 10.25-meter monohull, on a mooring in Mortagne sur Gironde, is not too far from Cognac, his place of residence. He went to see it for the first time and met the 75 year old owner, who conceded that the boat had not sailed much in recent years.

Not very experienced, François called upon a friend in marine expertise training who came back with him. For him, the boat is interesting and negotiable, as there is some work to be done: the rudder needs to be redone, the cockpit seats as well, as well as the electronics which need to be changed. On the other hand, the genoa is almost new and the mainsail is in good condition. The engine has been rebuilt and has only 80 hours of operation.

François finally bought the boat for 12,000euros. He reinjected a few thousand euros into the boat to redo a rudder, change the wood of the cockpit seats, the aerials, but also repaint the interior of the saloon and give it a facelift.

A sailboat equipped for beautiful cruises

The Mélody, designed by the architect André Mauric , was built by the Jeanneau shipyard between 1976 and 1982, with a certain success, since 607 examples were launched. This racing-cruising yacht has a large draught of 1.90 meters and 2,900 kilos of ballast. With 75 m2 of upwind sail area, including only 25 m2 of mainsail , it displays a balance typical of its time.

On the accommodation side, the Breton bed at the front can accommodate two crew members, as can the aft cabin on the starboard side. With the saloon and its 4 potential berths thanks to the bunk beds, we can potentially sleep 4 on a Melody. François nevertheless moderates: "We usually sail between two and five or six at the most, because the cockpit is pretty small for the size of the boat."

A closet and toilet forward of the saloon, as well as a chart table on starboard and a galley on port side with a gimbaled gas stove and a cooler with compressor, complete the boat's facilities.

A reliable boat in all conditions

For François, the first quality of the Melody is its reliability and robustness. "We don't have any surprises. Even when we had a throttle problem and got to the dock a little fast, the boat didn't have anything."

Sailor, the sailboat is able to face strong weather conditions. François specifies : "With its large draught, the boat is stiff to the canvas. Her 6 tons mean that we are well secured, even in heavy seas. Its only disadvantage is downwind, where it rolls a little with its hull shape. She goes upwind well, even if she is a bit fiery, although we have corrected the rudder a bit."

Today, father and son do not regret their purchase!

Moscow City Symphony-Russian Philharmonic/Dmitri Jurowski – review

G lorying in a name that seems to have been chosen by a very large committee, the Moscow City Symphony-Russian Philharmonic is a smart modern orchestra based in the city's glitzy modern concert hall . Judging by its London debut, however, it is old-school where it counts.

Its chief conductor is Dmitri Jurowski , and his appearance meant there would be a Jurowski on the Festival Hall podium four times in a week; big brother Vladimir was in the audience to cheer him on. The programme was Russian and proud. Extracts from Prokofiev's ballet Cinderella immediately introduced a distinctive sound, soft-edged but hefty, with well-blended strings underpinned by weighty low woodwind; the rasp of the bass clarinet and contrabassoon were to become gratifyingly familiar sounds.

But not so much in Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto, in which the orchestra seemed to be consciously ceding focus to Alexander Ghindin 's piano playing. While Ghindin was all offhand, unfussy brilliance, the orchestra were neat and contained – except, that is, for the opening of the slow movement, when the flute phrasing made the melody sound positively flirty, and Ghindin responded in smooth, almost louche style. His encore, Rachmaninov's G minor Prelude, whizzed by in a flurry of sonorous chords, but the richness with which he brought out the secondary melodies in the middle section spoke of attention to detail worn lightly.

That was just a taster for the main Rachmaninov event – the colossus that is the Symphony No 2, approached by Jurowski with a certain lightness of touch and all the better for it. It was because he began the third movement so gently and at so flowing a pace that he was able to make such an impact with the sense of stillness after its climax. The second movement was crisp, the finale buoyant – and the encore, the Infernal Dance from Stravinsky's Firebird, was a flamboyant signoff from an orchestra confident of hitting its mark.

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

• Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018
• by Kings of Russia
• 8 minute read

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM  you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.
