Like the look..
Quality? Will the gelcoat turn to chaulk and will they skimp and use 306 and not 316 Stainless... including the parts you can't see.

Interesting, no sea-rails. Look to be crossed between the lobster day/picnic boats that are popular in wealthy harbour areas.
That new Fjord is also a strange looking shape.

Clive I have seen some pretty bad examples of failed dark gelcoat, particuarly on a Beneteau yacht, is that what you have found to?

oh a photo copy to the Abati Yachts REALLY
but anytime the Chinese can make something original, so much like the Japanese before the 90s
seeing the culture of China is a bit of a dissappointment really so different in the past, BUT co copy cat today....

Yes, more like Abati than Mochi.
You're right... design has a long way to go in China. Any one of my more successful product designs is pretty much guaranteed to be copied by other factories.

First picture is obviously computor generated and the second is a "could have done better " using some knock off of photoshop.
Perspective of town in far background and centre right palm grove looks all wrong.
Distinct difference in smoothness of sea either side of wash at stern.
Wonder what was actually in the background,probably something less pretty than a tropical coastline ?
Busy doing nowt this morning. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
