Next time you're thinking of buying a BMW...

[Dyflin]

Probably best to pass on this one

combines the sailing potential of a performance offshore yacht with the substantial equipment range and unaffected elegance of a modern luxury cruiser.

Blimey, that's got all the charm of open heart surgery.

 

[Refueler]

Oh no ... Beamer go-faster boys on Beamer boats !!

Haven't we enough Beamer idiots on the roads without giving something else to be complete to$$ers with !

So now not only can you swap brain for a BMW car keys, but now you can swap brain for a BMW boat key !

Actually the boat will probably be one hell of a boat - but please - ditch the awful hull colour !!

But it does have teak decks!

 

[Nautorius]

Well I like it. These new style of boats are stunning close up. A real cross between a Cruiser and a Racer. Not sure about the colour though....

I really don't like the interior design of new luxury yachts in general. Everything's square, bare and looks like veneer. It's as if you've stepped into a suite in a random hotel chain. No character at all!

 

[Sans Bateau]

Brief to designer:

Go have a look at a Wally yacht and then nick all the minimalist ideas, but make sure your design is as ugly and boring looking to match our cars".

No worries, even if it had an anchor it would never get used.

 

[Blueboatman]

It has a certain minimalist charm..Wonder what Japanese or Swedish engine it has, cos BMW were a bit iffy on the marine front weren't they?

 

[flyingscampi]

I think it looks quite good actually, I much prefer it to the recent Moodys. I suspect I would hate the B&Q interior though.

 

[Refueler]

Wonder if it will fall into the same Designer category of the "Off-Road" X series cars ... where they profess to be 'serious' off-roaders but in fact are extremely comfortable overpowered heaps of junk off-road ... maybe the boats - professed to be serious fast passage makers will end up in same 'ditch' !!

Like the lines, hate the colour. Would go as far as to say that this vessel should be denied anything more than an inshore waters MCA certification!

Have a look at the interior. Sharp corners everywhere on worktops, space dividers, tabletops etc. No handholds anywhere inside nor even on the coachroof.

The sliding cabinet ( drinks? ) looks as if it has one of those push to unlatch, handle less catches that pop open at a moments notice.

Use of forecabin 'stateroom' is worse than my Benne!

There are explanations for the way most things have evolved the way that they have on boats, most of the them seem to have been ignored on this tub.

No doubt a few will be purchased by people with more cents than sense!

 

[Refueler]

.........No doubt a few will be purchased by people with more cents than sense!

Exactly ... it's a Beamer !! True to form. If there were marine traffic lights - it would be dodging lanes all over the place .. making sure it was in front of you .... if not then at least fag-paper distnace from your stern ... ignoring harbour speed limits and cutting everyone up ....

 

[Twister_Ken]

Looks like it's easy to fall off the back, too.

Dylan,

What's the polite way to say "Effin' brilliant?"

I want the entire series, on DVD, now!
