Next level ugly

[Matagi]

Impressive, Hanse.
Never thought ships this hideous were possible, but you rose to that occasion.
Bonus points for the 2009-style visualization that made me question if my retina are still in the right place: making your sails look worn out and outdated in a 3D SIMULATION is quite the achievement.

Does PhotoshopPRO offer a 'mildew' filter?

Let's try it without the hideous oblong ports:

Hmmm. I like that lots better. Opinions?

 

[frozenhawaiian]

meh, no better or worse than any of the other of the current crop of racer cruisers. but if you really want to get your panties all up in a twist about then I guess have at it.

It's sleek, it's modern, it's European.

It's bland. It's not even ugly, it's just bland.

 

[Diarmuid]

I rather like the color, tho.

 

[tane]

...let's speculate about the likely build-quality...looong before we get to the aesthetics...

 

[Crash]

Sorry boys, Matagi is right. Hideous.

 

[Dark'N'Stormy]

Not the prettiest boat, but doesn't seem to deserve this (directed) hate. The worst part about it is, as you pointed out, the rendering quality. Oh and the color is shit.

OK, here is a kindergartener's improvement, for starters

 

[robtoujours]

What about BW for a classier look? Wonder what a gaff rig would like on her..

 

[Sail4beer]

How about some aloe and suntan lotion for Captain Red Lobster?

 

[SloopJonB]

Sorry boys, Matagi is right. Hideous.

Looks like just another contemporary boat to me.

 

[Priscilla]

Jimmy Buffet will order one.

It does indeed. And if folks like that look (and obviously, they do), then good for them. But I think it is, and most all of the other contemporary boats today from the bigger builders, are just hideous. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I don't see any...

I realize it might just be my problem...

 

[SloopJonB]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I don't see any...

Or - beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes to the bone.

Most people like what they are told they like.

 

[Bristol-Cruiser]

I don't mind the shape and colour and I couldn't afford one anyway so the discussion is moot. What stood out to me is that the anchor would chew out the pointy bit at the waterline pretty quickly.

 

[Israel Hands]

Looks like a damn cartoon to me.

Looks like just another contemporary boat to me.

In fact, it looks like ANY contemporary boat. You can even resize the thing lengthwise from 30’ to 80’ and it wouldn’t make any difference...

@IStream got a new boat!

 

[IStream]

I just sea trialed it but didn't end up buying. I decided to stick with my thicc 1993 Catalina 50. She's not as fast or sleek as those Euro girls but she doesn't break easily and knows how to have a good time!
