MBY's Spot the boat

I find it increasingly dispiriting that otherwise reputable journalists on otherwise reputable magazines should feel that they have to revert to using sexually exploitative pictures thinly veiled as a feature.

If you were putting these pictures out in the IPC house magazine you would be breaking corporate diversity and equality policies.

This is the 21st century. Please consider your position in relation to similar pictures in future.
 
We do

Publish Nuts magazine......

To add, IPC as a guesstimate (spelling) is 70% woman and I have just returned from the staff restaurant when they proudly display the "cover of the month" This month is Nuts magazine with Lucy Pindar in all her glory....

Do not open it if it offends


I think its good light hearted fun frankly.

Enjoy the w/e!
 
I take your point about not opening it myself, but that does not address the issue: should women's bodies be used as the primary component of what could otherwise be a sensible and challenging competition ?

These photos, which have been run unsuccessfully by a sequential cohort of journalists with the misfortune to be asked to come up with a tatty and demeaning graphics only remotely associated with the title, are nothing to do with the properly artistic photos we see occasionally presented by e.g. Lakey.

Run a genuine competition to identify a boat from a component part. It is a genuine challenge based on knowledge and skill. Using, or rather, abusing a tacky publicity photograph shows lack of imagination, taste and respect, and a mindset which truly disappeared at the end of the last century.

The magazine is Motor Boat and Yachting, not Tits at Sea.
 
Hmm

As I see all the pix that are posted by all forum members I have to strongly disagree with this statement, yes there are some cracking shots which he posts but equally there are far worse pictures than that of a girl lying on a sun pad of a Faisunprinseline..... opps nearly gave it away.

You protest too much IMHO

"which have been run unsuccessfully by a sequential cohort of journalists" Utter rubbish and you know it - in fact it was a female staffer who started the run and fun its been too.

Elegant Ladies and fab motor yachts go rather hand in hand. So there!

What a load of twaddle, I don't ever recall seeing a model being forced to pose a gun point, in fact they seem very willing to display their bodies, and there is obviously no shortage of models wanting to pose on a boat.
Maybe you should take your argument up with those who are willing to lie in bathing costumes and are very obviously letting 'your' side down.
While ever there are pretty girls around men will look at them, and while ever there is an audience (men) around girls will pose for them, fact!
If you can change that then good luck to you, but we men won't be holding our breath.
The time to worry is when men stop looking at girls, or maybe thats your problem...

Tope or not tope, that is the question....

Not Tope.

The images at 4 and 17 seconds definitely are not Tope!
Similar, but slightly larger reef sharks. Hard to tell which from the pictures, but I suspect they are plain old Grey Reef Sharks.

And to keep remotely on topic, none of the women in the pictures were aboard a Fairline or a Jeanneau or even a Sea Ray and none have ever been photographed by Lester McCarthy much to his dissapointment.

And to go massively off topic, but in the spirit of girls on boats and you tube videos.
These girls are not to worried about the degrading aspect of the photos being taken, more about simply getting as far away from the boat as possible.
The music I think is quite appropriate, there are boats involved (and to keep very vaguely on topic, please guess the boat models shown) and in trying to wind Sarabande up a tiny fraction more, all of the "big girls" were released a little bemused and wondering who had spiked their lunch!
