Nice Ass!

[petem]

Calm down Haydn, not the four legged variety.

Now that I've managed to pull myself away from page 38 of MBY and turn to page 40 I'd like to say that the Bavaria 38 looks bloody awful from behind.

Arguably this should be the most imortant aspect for designers to get right. After all, most boats will spend 99% of their life tied to their berth when the only real view that people get is the view from behind.

Clearly some boats have got 'it', some haven't. I'll be brave and say that Sunseekers have 'it'.

For example the very classy new Portofino looks great from behind....

Most Fairlines have got 'it'. Sorry Bavaria you haven't.

Agree about the back end, but have you seen the silly side windows in the cockpit? It just looks wrong. The top of the side window curves up to a point that finshes three or four inches above the screen level and then just sort of stops.

IMHO looks totally naff and spoils an otherwise nice looking boat.

Italian Ass is best

Definitely a 'Gusta. But a 105 (the cabin cruiser styled one), not an 80 imho

Re: Italian Ass is best

Well spotted. You're right though it is deffo an Italian thing. For example, All Riva's (old and new) sport nice looking behinds. Even Cranchi's fair OK.

Perhaps we should launch a competition for the 'Nautical Rear of the Year' award!

Rear of the year - a very PC post follows.........

If we launched such a competition, it's a foregone conclusion that our Pauline would win
