Sealine F380 Photos

I think the boat looks fantastic, I really like the Sealine styling direction, with good differentiation from the norm. A bit like Bangle BMW's, you will love em or loath em, but I think they will stand the test of time.
I am guessing that the F380 will be on outdrives, like the SC35 she is derived from. This is likely to give close quarter handling challenges, even with a bow thruster.

Yes it is on drives rafiki, not sure it will be easy to drive in a cross wind berthing, reminds me of the F33 and F34, a boat for the experienced. I hope they fit a bow thruster not an egg whisk at the front, it will need it.

Upper dash looks really cluttered , maybe a bit more planning req or a smaller plotter to allow a reconfigure.

Build looks good , I hope it all takes off for the Germans .

Has anyone reported or boasted any sales orders from the show to make there investment worthwhile? I did hear Princess did two boats by Friday before close weekend.

It'll need some good trimming too, as I guess the bow will be very light cf the stern.

Couple of bags of sand should do the trick

Is't it funny, ex Sealine staff over in Germany building the boats and showing the Germans how they are built using the British made components, it's hard work being a British manufacturer.

I think overall it looks great - agree with the other comments about the dash looking 'cluttered' although in the grand scheme of things this is a minor issue that could be sorted fairly easily..

Stunning, love it!

What's the big white thing in the centre of the dash. A cover for something I assume. Bit of an eyesore!

It's the security tag, you know how stuff goes missing from shows

Or possibly a cover placed there by the sales team with the aim of protecting the compass from being scratched by Henryf's better half's handbag

We sent our Nick Burnham to Düsseldorf to look around the new boats and shoot a video of the new Sealine F380. Click the link to see the videos from the show.

A very positive review

 

[MILLIE BOO TOO]

A very positive review

I agree Gary, so many positives and not one negative .....MBM might even get a bit of advertising revenue out of it

the main thing I took away from the video was not to wear purple tipped socks with a light blue shirt

I really like it. I'm sorry now that we didn't go back to Dusseldorf this year :-/

Any idea how much ?

For us it will be a comparison with a used F42/5
