Just who is copying who ? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I actually like the design, I think for some builders it is the way ahead, down side is it will date unfortunately.

I'm really liking the look of these new Sealine's. Simple lines always look better, and you can sketch that boat with three strokes of a pen.

Cricky! That does look similar!
I too like the style of the new Sealines.

I appreciate certain aspects of this and the SC35 but I can't pretend I'm won over by the overall look.
That high level sunpad on the 47 looks a bit silly to me. It must be like sunbathing in a shop window and its completely enclosed by glass so when the sun shines it will be too hot to lay on anyway.

I prefer the sealine, much cleaner lines

Hadn't spotted that, but couldn't agree more. I'd be very surprised if that makes it past the final design review.

I would agree, I hope in the production versions they don't lose the simplicity of the design, as H said three strokes of a pen and voila !

I too like the general direction they're going with styling, though I'm amazed it's taken this long. They have been told on this forum for years to get some edges and drop the curves! I think they still need to fix some detials esp the very slabby/bent sheet of plywood look to the hull sides a 1/3rd of the way back from the bow (was very visible on the one they had outside excel at LIBS2008) but this is nice stuff
The glass saloon roof panels are a smart idea. Helps fix the dark/claustrophbic saloon feel that has oft been mentioned on this forum. Should see loads more of this on future boats. The sailing yacht Ghost had clever stuff with roof=deck glass, and the new Sq65 has a glass strip running right down the foredeck's centreline
The internal sunbed is right above the master bathroom and must be there to create standing headroom, but yup it does seem a big design mistake.

Anyone remember the post from last year sometime asking for mobo owners to volunteer for a market research study? I agreed to be interviewed and it turned out that the study was being carried out by Sealine in order to get feedback on various layouts and designs for this particular boat. It's gratifying to see that Sealine have taken virtually no notice at all of my comments.
I was shown 3 different hull shapes. I chose the sharper sporty bow, they've gone for the trad upright one.
I said it was stupid to have a seating area below when you've got a hardtop protected seating area up top and they should put a 3rd cabin there. They went for the seating area.
I said it was stupid to have a double bed in the main guest cabin and it should have 2 singles instead. They went for the double
I said the sunbed next to the helm was idiotic. They retained it
I said the heads in the master cabin was too small. It's still too small
I said the roof lights to let light into the lower saloon was a great idea. Yippee, they retained them
Overall though and I said this at the time, I really like this distinctive styling direction that Sealine have taken and IMHO, the hardtop works a whole lot better on this size of boat than the smaller ones. I hope it's very successful for them

I did that interview too mike and I could say ditto to every one of your comments. I told them they were going the right direction shape-wise but they needed to get someone better to refine the lines, and they have ignored that too!

I think we are all agreed this boat would be better with Galley up or a bunk cabin in place of the lower seating area. That Sunbed is a complete waste of space!
Rollocks to Sealine I say, they just do not listen.

I thought a cruising boat was meant to be a home from home, and a cosy comfey place to live when on board.
But that's just me, I wouldn't live in a house or appartment with an interior like that - cold, dead, grey, grey, grey, this design makes John Major look like a rolling stone:

No, I mean £50. Obviously they thought my comments were worth something /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
