New sport cruiser made in Holland

[BartW]

discovered this last week at the Belgium Boat show:

especially the high bow I like very much
what I saw on a video on the booth, this boat has a VERY nice ride, and nice look while cruising

Looks great - would want to check out the forward viz. The video shows the bow well up at lower speeds and it looks like the driver would see plenty of bow and not a lot else....

Looks interesting. Yep, would need to drive it to see the forward viz -looks borderline. Not bad looking boat though and in many respects a very nice interior. The light wood might be sycamore, can't tell, but looks nice. They have made some awful errors on the detailing though - side decks with no toerail, a disastrous caulking pattern in the teak (parallel planks on the fordeck, urgh) and a stanchion base with a screw showing and the plate not quite mating right with the teak- niiiice. Also the stanchion bases further forward look a bit iffy - painted in hull colour? Teak deck scooped out around them? Would need to see close up. Such a shame to take the edge off the product with these sorts of things.

Also I'd worry about the attention-to-detail qualities of a boat builder that puts on its website cabin photos where the bed looks like Tracy Emin just had a shag in it.
