MBY's spot the boat

[Jack Haines]

Morning all,

We will admit that this is not the raunchiest picture we've featured but the decision in the MBY office was to try and give you a difficult one this week and test those anoraks to the max.

Can you spot the boat?

Cheers,

Jack

 

[Richard Shead]

Easy.....

The Spanish flag gives it away, its a Bayliner.

 

[Chantal Borciani]

Well, the Norwegian flag is a bit of a giveaway...

why does the mag HAVE to use "raunchy" pics ? Does the collective brain never rise about navel level ?

Well it's definitely a flag

 

[sarabande]

yep. Been here before. The use of the the female form is totally irrelevant to what can be a serious photo game. It's exploitation, cheap, tatty, smirky. I have no objection to LS-type pics; they are in a quite different context. For a genuine "What Boat" feature, you don't need any bits of flesh in the way. Boats don't belong to the IPC Connect stable. "Fun" in publishing is fine, but MBY has aspirations to being a serious publication. Spoils what could otherwise be a real challenge. The apologetic "we will admit" gives it all way.

Are part of the "Inspire" group which we belong to, should we use some of their pix instead?

Because we blokes need our little fantasies. Would you complain if there was a half naked George Clooney draped across the sunbed. I suspect not

No

 

[gjgm]

No

Well, about 1/3 of a torso higher too?

 

[Jack Haines]

Controversial maybe...

...but does anybody want to guess what the boat is?

[Richard Shead]

Ok I will give it a go....

...but does anybody want to guess what the boat is?

Jack

Is it a Linnsen? The Dutch flag is a dead give away...

 

[LittleShip]

Where's the chick in a bikini Thats the wrorst "guess what the boat is" I have ever seen

Jack

No
and stop putting pictures of my wife on the net.

 

[Nautibusiness]

Nobody can be bothered to guess as there is no T1ts or @rse in the picture.

If I have to.... Viksund 360?

 

[Jack Haines]

Wait

That's unfair, if that is your wife on board you should definitely know what the boat is...

 

[gjgm]

That's unfair, if that is your wife on board you should definitely no what the boat is...

Not mine, so she has some explaining to do tonight.

 

[Jack Haines]

Okay...

Thanks for guessing but it is not a Viksund - the flag is not a red herring, the boat is built in Norway.

Sorry gjgm, I hope if you find the skipper of the pictured boat it will be boat hooks at dawn.

[Richard Shead]

What?

It's a Norwegian flag? I thought it was American?
