Galleon boats

[Seastoke]

Where do they rank against British 3 and the French stuff.

Galeon.

Very innovative, competitively priced compared to the Brits and Italians. Build quality seems Ok based on boat show viewings but no idea what they’re like under the skin. Some models eg 560 the styling has gone way over the top IMHO.

Was thinking the 510 Sky.

That’s probably my favourite of the ones I’ve seen.

I would say that its weakness is that the flybridge is pretty small. It’s like the so called sport bridge boats eg Princess S65 but on a smaller scale which makes the end result a bit compromised. But it looks good and the accommodation is excellent.

I rate them incredibly highly. Quality detailing. Great designs. I’d like to own one one day. Latest ones have too much hull glass though IMO.

They do a full fly version. But this is the one I’d have in the uk. I hate putting the flybridge cover on and this is push button.

My top choice for a uk based boat. I love them.

I remember looking at these with you last year. Great boats.

At the Paris boat show a few years back...I tried to view one....but the ladies who man the velvet rope refused me entry....so I have banned all forumites from owning one....

What’s shame. The dealers now would show you they are most obliging. Give them another chance.

I wonder why.

Compared to you...I’m very presentable

Are ladies still allowed to man velvet ropes?

I looked over one at the Cannes boat show a couple of years ago. I was not impressed by the quality standards. Way down on the British and Italian offerings.

I don’t know how many years ago that was but it is absolutely not the case now. I’ve looked at a few in detail up to about 8 years old and the quality is top of the tree IMO.
