The Cara is a very brave boat built as a practical boat with fantastic sea handling and superb Hamilton jets.
A 60 foot Fairline etc these days leaves little change from £1m so the Cara is by no means expensive.
Name another 60 foot boat with just 40 cms draft and the ability to dry out in those many drying harbours.
I very much respect Cara and wish them every success.

Paul, do you think it looks ok?
Paul:
agree about the million euros, and I can't name another 40cm boat. But I have never had a problem with draft. Do you really feel constrained in the Sq59 that you cannot beach it? Probably the real advantages of jets are lowvibration and (maybe) manoeuvrability, not beachability
Anyway, happy to agree it has excellent seakeeping etc. But seriously, do you think it looks good? How many marks out of 10 do you honestly give it for styling? If you found yourself running a boatbuilder launching a new 60foot model would you make it look like that?

Way out of my bracket, but for what it's worth - I love it! I don't think it's ugly at all, it looks like a REAL boat!! If I was ever your position, that would do it for me. Without naming anything, and sticking my neck out to be chopped - I really don't like the endless clones that my local boat builder churns out, they just remind of magnified disigner trainers that the kids plague their parents buy them!! IMHO of course

I must admit I like it. Don't think it's ugly, but then again I bought a burgundy V40.
I like the idea of the jets and the room and the sea keeping claims.
If I had that sort of money, I would seriously consider it.

Shoe boats
Hmmm. Designer trainers. You're beginning to worry me with that analogy. But doesn't the Cara look a bit Toetectorish? Or Clarks Polyveldt?
Serious point though, if you want to avoid clones (and I can see that point of view) dont you think there are much nicer non clone boats? Eg the beautiful machine adrianm is building
or a GB Aleutian or many others. All these are non plasticky "proper" boats, but much prettier than the Cara, don't you think?

Re: Shoe boats
Yeah - have to concede, it is a very pretty boat, but I see the same qualities that I like in the Cara, it's too late to think "eloquence" it's just got "lines", do you know what I mean?

It is mechanically alluring, yet like the brainy guy with top marks in chemistry, it is without appeal. Find yourself a twin-diesel sex machine, and try to find one for whom 65 foot is easy, not hard. The cara is fab - if you are a harbour pilot. The OB rating must surel be very low - see wakeup.

Hey, no probs with brainy guy with top mark in chemistry, if he also is mini moke (it's a uni thing) driving, chain smoking, trilby wearing, jazz club member hanger outer, on every social committee, hard drinking, hard partying (holds many, and they are the best), stays up later at night through to early morning than anyone else, does no visible studying yet still makes best grades, does every dangerous sport anyone had heard of, dances the night away, and runs Nightline and belongs to Samaritans to show caring side, plucks guts and cooks pheasant on Baby Belling to show chef skills...and gets more gorgeous babes than anyone else
It was a bit more complicated than that, but it seemed to work well. Scientists at Uni can pull, believe me

To me it wouldnt be the dring out - but rather the access to shallow anchorages. The one thing I miss with the current sailing boat over the previous Nelsons, is the fact that a number of our favourite anchorages are unreachable (Binic, Chausey,Les Glenans, Brehat). In fairness all except Binic are 'doable' - but one has to anchor miles out, sometimes in considerable tide are much more exposed.
Having had a propeller and a rudder ripped off by a submerged container on one boat and a prop fouled by discraded net on another, the absence of underwater gear would be a major asset.
As for the looks - well maybe a Nelson looks better, but at least it isnt excessively over styled like somany modern boats - and that vast aft deck looks very inviting.

Re: Paul, do you think it looks ok?
The low draft extends the water and rivers in particular that you can explore.
Many, many harbours dry out - only about 1 in 10 do not dry out! To be able to take a 60 footer in there and dry out would extend my target harbours ten fold. I consider this very iimportant indeed.
So yes, I do feel constrained by my own boat that has to either anchor out or look for a marine - wet harbour. Nor can I take my boat too far up rivers etc.
Marks out of 10 for styling with the no roof version - I would give it 5/10. The roof version will I think increase this mark. I think it can be made to look better. To me this is the only area where the Cara falls down. In every other area it knocks the pants off all other boats in its class.

Well, my theoretical example was at a very staid university and the person in question got top marks after hours of work and had no time for all the partying, and hence was very nerdy and almost repulsive. Poor example i suppose.
