Marine Mingers World Cup (TM HF)

[burgundyben]

In the 20 to 30ft Category I nominate the Parker 660 Weekender. WTJudderingF? Its clear that Axopar are determined to win this class with multiple efforts to displace the Parker.

In the 31 to 40ft Category I have two nominations from the same builder, Apreamare, the 32 and the 38 Comfort (Could it really be comfy enough to forgive it the damage inflicted by each branch of the ugly tree as it fell?)

41 to 59ft - I thought there was a Sealine I wanted to assassinate, but I can't, the Sealine website is a train crash of over animation and poor graphics, if I can't navigate the website, it makes one wonder about the ability to navigate the boat!

60 to 80ft - I nominate the Sunseeker Manhattan 65, externally its a higgledy piggeldy hotch potch with no theme running through the styling, Sunseeker still build big boats using the small boat parts catalogues, poor finishing and cheap teak with interior by Ikea.

In the 80 to 100ft class we have a clear winner in the Sunseeker 95.

Any further nominations?

Almost everything built in the 1970s from GRP

Everything at SBS 2016 except for the Elling

Pretty comprehensive list there Ben. Can't really see a reason to object to any of your nominations, all hideous

Got to say the sealine 330 ( I think it's the 330), may be a runner up in the 31 to 40 ft class..

Don't want to make any enermies but I quite like the look of the Apreamares.

 

[Bouba]

Enemies, I swear that was spell checker

I'm not a huge fan of the curved sterns, but I certainly wouldn't go as far as calling them "mingers". To my eye the only truly ugly boats in this lineup are the Sunseekers. Too many hard-edged black and white shapes piled up in a jumbled heap with no real pattern to it.

I really like them too. Very pretty boats.

 

[Bouba]

They remind me of lifeboats
And if you think about it a swim platform on a lifeboat is a very good idea

Me too .
They come in a range of sizes and they are a very well built quality boat with great engineering hewn out of granite feel .
It's a family owner factory ( not a corporate board run job ) in Naples .
There new stuff is what Deleted User is on about a more Eco trawler style -very with it .
The older style in the pics above Allways reminds me of a Maltese Gozo fishing boat .
For summer Med use the bigger the bathing platform the better .
I like the retro varnished gun whale and look at the real ( not veneered ) teak at the for deck .
They don t do outdrives all shaft even the little ones 6-7 M day boats .

I stayed a night @ the Factory before my Del trip -they sorted the Itama for me -v nice craftsmen .

I would have one any one new shaper or traditional -

My entry for the 41-59' minger category is the stunningly svelte Cranchi 43HT

The lovechild of Susan Boyle and a dalek

Yuk. That's an impressive bathing platform though.

Be interested to see how that is in a following sea, there's a lot of platform to submerge before hull buoyancy picks the boat up.

 

[Portofino]

What about the over 100ft category
I nominate this -it does not look straight

Looks like a greenhouse has landed on top of boat.

I think the term is "carbuncle"

Plus 1. All good nominations here. Any of the new Sealines look like plain crap. And as for the owner of Lionheart. If I had his money the first thing I would do is invest in a good personal trainer and a haircut. Worse than the boat the owner looks like a total prick.

Seems a little unfair to carbuncles!

Harsh!
