European type of lobster boats are sold under the name of Liberty Yachts and Rapsody Yachts in Europe. Some Hickley Talaria's are imported. I am considering purchasing one, because as a former ( regatta) sailor, I like the looks. Does anyone can advise me one marks, types, etc. available in Europe?
Hi, we have had this up a couple of years ago. Since then I guess there are a few more, like the Guernsey models. Here is the old thread: http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/g...cnic-lobster-boats-hinckley-san-juan-etc.html And here is a Guernsey 34:

****** Yachts/Downeast/Lobster Boat Has anyone seen the new ****** Yachts. She looks really great online and a friend says she handles beautifully. Looking for more comments as I am suppose to look at her next week. Post edited by Admin
They look nice and soud good, but have they actually ever sold any? With an overflow of boats and few buyers this seems like a real bad time to enter the US boating market especially with styles that are very well covered by Hinkley, Shelter Island, Eastbay, etc.
Another classic example of a new member posing as an interested buyer, when in fact she works for the brokerage firm representing this line of lobster boats. I venture a call and who answers the phone... Linda Stark, as I suspected. Linda... posing as a 3rd party is misrepresentation and fraud. Your membership will be removed, but this thread will remain to warn others of unscrupulous business practices.
Unless I'm mistaken, it's 2008. Every business on the planet is trying to keep things as tight as possible and any excuse to blacklist a potential supplier and therefore consolidate and reduce the supplier list is the order of the day. Why attempt to be sneaky and risk being blacklisted, instead of up front about a product that might be of interest.
Ethics is one of those things that just can't be bought and once it's known that you don't have any....Sorry Linda Stark, but I would absolutely recommend that people not deal with you or your company in any matter involving trust.
