It looks like it should have sails on it. Not keen at all.

My thought exactly. Someone must have lost the plot in Norway, their boats are usually much better than this.
A clear cut case of form over function, if I've ever seen one.
Starting with the colour, but you should have seen what it took them to deploy the anchor... Makes me wonder how many folks so far fell overboard while doing just that!

the fact it is form over function probably doesn't matter as its the type of boat designed for people who have a lot of money and have never had a boat in their life....

hm, SR52 feet of wasted space, overly designed.
Actually, only interesting thing is the transluscent "skin" of some sort that appears on the last photo on the website. Anyone else using such a trick? is it UV protection only or what?

could not believe it was a Windy when I saw this boat in a magazine last year, not my piece of cake,
neither are fjord nor others with this flavor.
but who am I to judge about taste

Yes,
but remember its not designed as a boat, its designed to be a tender.
Look at it as something showing to get from Cannes to your mega yacht and it changes what is required somewhat

Just trying to deploy the anchor.
Which as I said, seemed a ridiculously time consuming task.
Not to mention that - with no protection at all - a slight navigation wake would have probably been sufficient to throw them all overboard...!

I don't mind that they are trying to follow the Wally fashion [although it is pretty ugly]
My main concern would be that it would be a very poor sea boat,there doesn't look to be t enough buoyancy in the bow. Stuff the front of that into a big one and it's all going to get very green, very quickly - hope its got some monster bilge pumps...

It looks like it ought to have a serious piece of ordnance on the foredeck, designed either to run drugs, or stop 'em.

A brave attempt at something different - and for a very demanding market - but I don't think they've bought it off.
The Wally tender (which presumably they are channeling, as others have said) is fab, however, imho.
