Morning all,

It's that time again! Ignore the glistening, tanned beauty and inspect the hinges, stainless steel and fibreglass to determine which boat she is clinging on to.

Can you spot the boat?

Cheers,

Jack

I have to agree with Kipper - one of the best photo's we have had recently.
Getting back to the boat, haven't a clue but I think that's a Larson in the background -sad eh!

Looks a little bit like the back of Brownsea Island.


I did say "a little bit". I can tell it isn't as you wouldn't have that mermaid swimming around.

Yowser, look at the way the water is running off her...

You make a good point actually, there are a lot of boats to spot in this picture. Extra anorak points if you get any of the boats in the background too!

Cheers,

She looks like she has just stubbed her toe on the bathing ladder to me .....

Any brownie points for anyone who can telepathically read what she is thinking ?


" flip, that hurts". ?

Lovely picture Jack

Dunno what boat it is and have no time to check or browse net today. The photo is taken between the Lerins Islands off Cannes- we were anchored just there when you were on board last Easter. The boat has an updown platform with hinged lids over the tender chocks, plus unmargined teak, and slots to drain the platform, all of which is rare combo, but I don't know what it is. I was thinking Prestige 60 but I'm really not sure. I reckon you could win this one :D

I've spotted the boat, after managing to pull my eyes away from the female form in the picture.

It is on the left hand side of the picture.

As to the make and model that is an entirely different question. :D

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist John! :D

Lovely spot, I remember it well.

It's a tough picture but, rather annoyingly, praise must go to Stewart for bagging it!

Not a million miles away with a Jeanneau either. ;)

Cheers,

Jack

It is certainly one of our more, urm, distracting efforts.

Beneteau Gran tursimo 49 fly. Thanks for the clue :D. With unmargined teak it almost had to be Jean/Ben group :)

Silly me, why - of all people - would I give you a clue?!

Good work all the same - now for all of the boats in the background. ;)

Cheers,

Jack

Look I'm getting bored with this. Could you stick a post up before you stick up the pic something along the lines of Spot the Boat thread released in 1hr or whatever to give the rest of us a chance to look at it before jfm snaffles it. Or better still, lets have a Spot the Boat forum from which jfm is banned:)

This argument has been raised before and for good reason. We even had TWO threads about VAT running at the same time as this week's spot the boat but even that failed to distract!

Maybe we could start a thread about the necessity for scatter cushions as part of a boat's decor next Friday morning, in order to give everyone else a chance. ;)
