It looks so bare needs some decals down the side or something to make look more than a slab of GRP.
Canopy needs to have better lines to match the boat IMHO

Yuk, horrible, radar arch too high and canopy ugly.

Well i like it all, but i agree with Dom, the front canopy could do with being a bit nicer.

Is it me, or is getting from the cockpit to the foredeck in any kind of sea a near suicide mission.
Looks like you have to venture to the platform, no rails and then swing around onto the combing and up the narrow passage with what appears to be trip bars, to hold onto!
Is that normal for you guys? On sunny flat calms it is prolly great, but it looks a little precarious if you are getting bounced about a bit. It also seems positively dangerous with the cover up, looks like no mans land until you are past the arch! Might be just the piccies though.
It is reassuring to see she goes well on the flat as well as up and down hill /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I did not get a chance to get any of her on the move, but she looks impressive when she is and tops out about 37ish knots,

Def shows an improvement with simpler less fussy lines.Suspect will look much better with canopies down.Many boats do not look pretty with the canvas covers up.The Birchwood 340 is a classic example.

Why would anyone be going to the foredeck in any kind of sea?

She looks great; you must be very happy. I hope you have a superb season with her.
I have heard from some folk recently that their Sealine was delivered with the bonding incomplete with disastrous consequences when it was discovered some months later. Worth a check.

EyeNo, I don't know what your particular problem is, but you may just be the rudest person it has ever been my misfortune to come across! I am lost for words, having just read your post - I can only assume that you have never experienced the joy of owning a boat, and the excitement and anticipation of waiting for delivery.
If you came out with a comment like that to me, when I had just announced I was waiting for a new boat, rest assured I would cheerfully slap you round the face.
You are a rude, arrogant, petty little man. I doubt you have ever experienced any kind of joy in your life, and I'm frankly not surprised.

Shirley - if you get upset when people say things like that, what's your idea of good wishes?

The poison at the end, perhaps? "I'm sure you'll be very happy as long as it doesn't sink or fall apart..."

Shirley, I think you have a serious problem. I sincerely meant the comments that she looks great. I didn't mean she might fall apart I was simply passing on a warning. When I receive my next boat I am going to have this aspect checked and I am sure others took th message in the positive way it was intended.
What would you suggest I do, keep quiet and let the poor chap suffer some serious damage or even some catastrophic failure at sea?

I'm sorry, but it doesn't read like you're just passing on a friendly warning. From what I just read, I could see you looking at a baby in a pram and telling the mother it what a beutiful baby it was, was she sure it wasn't going to die of cot death?
I'm sorry, but there was (to my mind) too much gloating in what you wrote. You are either a very sad individual, or a troll.
Please accept my sincere apologies if I'm wrong on both counts, or accidentally get elected the next pope.

You are wrong, I was passing on a warning to all buyers of new boats whatever the make.
I thought some of the other comments were rather unkind but you chose not to comment on those and one wonders why?

Seems curious that your warnings only appear in relation to Sealines, though, EyeNo. I didn't notice Gludy being warned of potential incomplete lamination on new Traders, for instance...

I would actually like to apologise for the abruptness of my comments. I'd say that this S29 is the most desirable 30 footer available at the moment. The radar arch does appear to be quite high but I accept that this is almost unavoidable on a 30 footer. The rear section of the canopy is also a little ugly but this is hard to improve on with a forward facing radar arch.
Sealines build quality is quite acceptable these days. If there was a bonding problem then I'm sure Sealine would be more than happy to rectify it.
Finally, good wishes to Dougie and else buying one of these boats.

The other comments I read here related to aesthetica, and I didn't see anything malevolent there.
Anyway, you weren't "passing on a warning to all buyers of new boats whatever the make", you were very specific. I also notice you have gone back and edited one of your posts to make it appear more reasonable: "What would you suggest I do, keep quiet and let the poor chap suffer some serious damage or even some catastrophic failure at sea?"
