MBY's spot the boat

[Jack Haines]

Morning all,

MBY Deputy Editor Stewart has promised to eat one of his deck shoes, film it and upload it here if anyone gets this one spot on. What other motivation do you need?

Can you spot the boat?

Jack,

tell him that if he's promising things like that he should try harder than simply cropping 20pix off the bottom of a web image

cheers

PS. the following doesn't "solve" in GI, actually comes up with some hilarious matches!

Oh no, not GIS again...

The "InsertTotallyUnknownBoatCompanyHere" walk-around Sundeck 240.

I was thinking of something like a Sessa Key Largo, but the railings are all wrong.

Yep, the Editor himself guessed just that but it's not right. It is quite an obscure one, this, and it's not French.

The days of spot the boat are numbered if images are used that are already on the net.. by the power of Google Image Search: https://www.google.com/search?tbs=s...nMcGX3sMZAkinAQq4by2qozzDW0tMZQt9jM86dPWCy3rA

There was an argument about this two weeks ago. Obviously this is all supposed to be a bit of fun so it doesn't warrant our photographer going around taking photos of scantily clad girls on boats, as much as he'd like to. We have to use press pictures supplied by manufacturers and, inevitably, these photos will have been used as marketing content on their websites.

Yes, you can use GIS but the whole point of this is to try and decipher the boat without it.

I'd like to offer my services to take photo's of scantily clad ladies in warm climates on nice boats. no hourly fee, pay my airfare, provide the boat and lady and I'll be there with my iphone at the ready. deal?

 

[oGaryo]

you forgot to type something

 

[z1ppy]

A while back you went through a stage of pixilating the image which would prehaps get around the GIR scam?

Did we? I don't remember that. Could be something to look in to.

And here I was naively thinking that we could rely on a sense of integrity to maintain a level playing field...

Come on Jack, don't be like that. I know it doesn't need saying but in a way it does, just post a little reminder at the base of the STB post reminding folk not to give the game away by posting a reply after using GI type searches

gotta be honest, i dont care what the boat is, just like looking at the decorations!

I have no idea how GIS works and agree with Jack that this is meant to be fun and it would be nice if everyone just agreed not to use GIS and also not to accuse others of using it.

But as a technical matter, if MBY's team just converted the source colour image to B+W or sepia, using a photo editor, would GIS still be able to find it? I'm thinking it wouldn't because all the pixel values would change, right? Any techno folks know?

John, it finds it alright (just checked)
Since there's some offering going on, I'd be willing to dissect and reconstruct or rather deconstruct the images and check that they don't solve in GIS for a minimal cost, say a bottle of single malt a month or thereabouts...
Serious, I'm afraid the only safe way is photoshoping the pics, took me less than a minute to do, could be doing it yourself Jack. Then we wont only have to find the boat (rather JFM and me, as I've not managed to ever find something...) but we could be joking on the artwork involved
