A sound thrashing with the Ugly Stick

Behold the Meridian Yachts 541 Sedan:

Someone must love it, I suppose.....

looks like someone has put an airport control tower on top............ohhhhh deary me !!!!

 

[Kipper]

I think it could do with a fish spotting platform o top. Its just too understated.

Dont fancy that much in a beam sea .

 

[gravygraham]

I presume this is American? Please say yes.

They manage to make it look a lot better in the video by cutting shots quickly, but to be honest, it sort of makes sense in the environment it's filmed in..... possibly?

The Yanks certainly love the tear-drop, reverse sheer look, and they appear to have gone all out with this one. The below gunwhale section is a bit OTT, but the marketing video linked by Brendan appears impressive......or was that just the OB's

It may look almost alright at the moment, but when they get the sails up it'll look a fright.

Are we sure the flybridge is properly attached? Looks as if it is about to slip off the back.

I find it fascinating sometimes what people consider ugly and good looking when it comes to boat design. I would upset probably 60% of posters on this forum if I started listing the boats I find hard on the eye, but then most on here would say it right back at my boat and the types of boat I like, and who's to say I have any taste at all!! That's the beauty of design and the choice you make..

.......... But for heaven sake, this is one god forsaken catastrophe!

O go on you know you want too..................

Ok I will start.

 

[Firefly625]

Oh OK, well any ............. no, I can't, not many people speak to me as it is... soon I will start to feel like Daka and have to post a pole to to see how unpopular my views are!!

A poll might be more instructive

It's like most things we like to play with James, motorbikes, 4x4's, women....

Call me biased but this is the best looking boat by far!

Yup, like that!

 

[Kipper]

I quite like the one at the back but, its all about what ploats your boat. I love sports boats and can appreciate other types of boats.

 

[jhr]

Yup, like that!

Me too; classic, timeless lines. And seaworthy as well .....
