Ugliest boat of all time?

[michael_w]

This makes a Mac 26 look reasonable. How can someone do this? The hull is sweet, but the pilot house - Oh, my gawd.

Pay attention at the back.

Close up of the foredeck layout and mooring arrangements.

That's not ugly at all. Country Homes call that pittoresc ! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

It'll fetch a good price on eBay /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Oi, who said you could take photos of my old fishing boat!

Spookily similar to the old girl /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I prefer sail myself . . .

Unless you want a bit more headroom (sorry about the flip!):

Looks like the crossbars are of carbon. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

With that tyre on the bow he must have taken a leaf out of the Scumsail flotilla instruction manual.

That's nothing. Coming down the Thames from Cliveden last year we were followed by one of those bathtubby things, Carribean or somesuch. The owner of this ex-hire monstrosity must have felt homesick because he had built a patio on the roof in B & Q timber decking, put a console on it for a DIY flybridge, and covered the whole lot in a green pvc B & Q Gazebo. I kid you not, some of you may have seen this thing as well. All it missed was a few pot plants and a Bar-B-Q!!

"must have felt homesick because he had built a patio on the roof in B & Q timber decking, put a console on it for a DIY flybridge, and covered the whole lot in a green pvc B & Q Gazebo."

Or he could have built it up professionally?

All that's missing from that one is a little plastic bride and groom on top.

The French have come up with this beauty:

It comes with the equally beautiful name the 'TILAPIA 6.50'

 

[Lakesailor]

I rather like that. No worse than a Leisure 23. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Another ugly boat?

People, glasshouses, stones? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[Twister_Ken]

If the Tilapia weren't painted puke yellow, I reckon it would make quite an attractive small boat.

What an excellent idea - wish I'd done that with my Wayfarer ! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
