Now this looks very proper

Say what you like about the tech, I liked the 33 for being just a nice boat at a sensible price. he 40 is very interesting and starts at a very reasonable £179k inc VAT (no Hybrid for that cash though).

So I wonder what the price of this will be?

As a statement of intent its pretty impressive, but by all accounts they have built and sea trialed one and I think it looks the business.
 
Looks very interesting. Styling is a bit of an acquired taste, but modern and purposeful nonetheless. Packaging looks good.

I'm sure the "boat-away" price will be nearer £220k with a few necessary toys, even so looks good value if the fit and finish are decent.
 
One thing I wouldn't like is the helm position inside, there is a window screen pillar right in your centre view, the helm should be port or starboard.

It makes sense to me, especially for a wide yacht, remove the pillar and it works for me, but this is from someone with no experience of either left, right or centre..

Bit like the McClaren car with its central position.

ps..love the boat.

The pillars in the rendering are a bit strange anyway, one looks to be centred, yet there is an extra one to the left, but not to the right.
 
In terms of layout, the Greenline 70 doesn't offer anything different from other trawlery type yachts but the finish looks much more modern than the average trawlery yacht which is good. I think the hybrid option is a nonsense on a long distance bluewater cruising boat; 20nm on electric power isn't going to get you very far across, say, the Bay of Biscay. The spec sheet looks all OK but that cant tell you very much about how the thing goes at sea until its tested.
Price will be important given that the G70 doesn't offer anything radical. Less than £1.5m is competitive. More than £2m would be pricey
 
Greenline are built by Seaway Group, a company which also did the technical work for the new MonteCarlo 76 by Beneteau Group.
Seaway is located in Slovenia, and J&J Design is also part of the company.
They have also done other tooling for popular builders which cant remember right now.

With Skagen and Greenline you can say that they are today a very complete company offering all services from design, technical stuff, to building boats. I don't think today there is any company in the world completing such a circle on its own.

I think it's that image, if you look at the one above which is more straight-on you can see the front screen is divide into thirds in a conventional manner.
