Spotted at a yard in North Palm Beach, the hull looks like a Hatt, but the superstructure looks like a top hat? The best part is the 'mantle' for mounting a marlin!
Kingship Fish, I am going to beat you on that one. BTW, the internal layout of that 44 meter, 499 GT vessel is pretty perfect. External design is a matter of taste and not my favorite either. Does any of our members have personal experience with this yard, opinions, facts, examples? Here comes my candidate for the roges gallery, a 200 ft Dutch fast event cruiser, a party boat but I am afraid my guests would run away, when her destination for the party would come into sight. It is even hard to tell, wheather this vessel is presently upside down or not .
It may be premature to call this a "rogue" as she is still under construction. She is presumably being built as a 140 meter sailing vessel with a 100 meter mast and a crew of 65. I'm going ahead and calling it . . . ROCK
Would this "high speed" inland waterway ferry qualify for being called UGLY ?!!! And I can assure you, in reality she looks much worse than on these pictures .
In the "trailer boat" class of yachts (seriously!) or possibly a new yachting sector called Dorys with Deckhouses, here's a new contribution to this thread...
This ‘boat on wheels’ is definitely not seaworthy, but looks great at The Louwman Museum at The Hague (NL) More Museum info: The Turin bodywork manufacturer Coriasco built this striking Fiat 1100-based vehicle in the 1950s to make publicity for a sailing school in Bologna, the Scuola Nautica Scarani. Coriasco applied all sorts of nautical details to the car, such as portholes, lifebuoys and a varnished wooden deck; the mudguards represent the water and waves. As early as the 1920s Coriasco was building coachwork for Fiat, Ceirano and Itala. The firm then concentrated predominantly on light lorries and delivery vans. In the 1970s they reverted to passenger cars, among which a station-wagon version of the Fiat 127.
Came across this while deleting batches of old news items. This may have been previously posted, but just in case I present the 70' DynaCraft, the waterborne equivalent to the Triumph TR7... the shape of things to come?
