I wouldn't swap a Twister for it, let alone an Arcona! Is that colour 'puke green'?

Ach - you're all so conservative!
No, not puke green, it's inside-a-kiwi-fruit-without-the-black-bits-green.
And let's face it - we're never going to get noticed on the Cote d'Azur with an Anderson 22, or even a Twister.

The colour is interesting in a nice but dull way, the outline is too plain and the inside looks like it has been furnished by Ikea.

Meh to that. However! This I found interesting:
No, not the slide ride chairs but the rigging bits at the mast just below deck level. It appears they're there to put some of the masts downward force on the deck instead of the keel - despite having a keel-stepped mast. Never seen this before.

I expect one could get noticed at Cannes by turning up naked on a spacehopper with one's bottom painted purple, it would probably still be less embarassing than turning up on that green thing...

I suspect they are taking the load form the vang and the halyard turning blocks to the mast rather than the deck, my 'vanilla' Selden keel stepped mast has something similar but a lot less noticeable.

I like the look even if the cockpit looks a little exposed
Similar to Wally in design

Well it certainly looks like it was designed by someone who belongs in a Big Top tent...

That's been tried by various wannabes at the film festival. Doesn't work.

Whatever happened to pretty bows? How did these perpendicular things ever become fashionable/trendy? Looks like a 1930s herring drifter!

Just like a herring drifter, they want max waterline length, for more speed.

And think of all the kippers you could get in there.
Not sure how you negotiate the Palais de la Glisse dance floor at sea though

A pretty 'old fashioned bow' wouldn't change the waterline length would it?

Yes. Unless the bow poked further forward at deck level, which would make it longer than 80 feet. Compare a rectangle (this boat) to a trapezoid (pretty old fashioned boat),
