The windows look like a take on the famous Dazzleships in Dry Dock painting...Very angular and odd looking.Well that’s the Cranchi off the longlist, completely failed the style test just went to look at one. Spacious but not a looker.

Sadly it’s at least as bad in the metal as the pic suggests. Not a looker.Christ. That really is f****g horrid. Who looked at that as a finished piece of work and was happy with it?
Yes I like them too and I'm a member of the FB group.Can't see that its been mentioned before, but the SeaRanger 448/48/50 (practically all the same boat, just evolutions) would fit all of the requirements, with the only exception possibly being age - the only boat to fit the 15 year criteria (built 2007, launched 2009) has just sold as I understand it (I was sorely tempted to trade up myself). Engine-wise, I think all are on Volvos - but for the price of them compared to a Hardy, you could afford to re-engine whatever you bought and still have plenty left over. They offer remarkable value for what you get.
When we were looking, some three+ years ago, we were determined not to buy a boat earlier than c. 2008. Then we saw what the SeaRanger could offer and didn't hesitate to buy hull #1, built 1997. Comparing it to other boats of a similar age (and into the early 2000s) she has aged much better. We've been truly delighted with her.
Just returned from a trip to Scilly and Cornwall - a wonderful boat to explore with.
