From my own perspective, having spent time on every type of yacht from over 100m to below 30m, I still think that a very well made sailing yacht in the 40 - 60m range is a wonderful thing. The better looking it is (eg long, low, wide and pointy etc) the harder it is to make everything fit
Agreed - S/Y Hemisphere is one of my favouritesPaddy_N_Murphy said:
There is literally nothing I like in that.
It is as grey and nasty as the skies around it. Not what a 'Superyacht' and life thereof should be IMHO
I watched it motor around Menorca last week. Big and fugly. I'm sure the owner loves it, but why not create something of beauty, something that'll look good for decades to come. It is as grey and nasty as the skies around it. Not what a 'Superyacht' and life thereof should be IMHO
J-class style, not "look at me"

and this

and this
not this (Hemisphere)
or this (which are basically the same ie ugly with horrible proportions)
I have been sailing for 47 years and when it comes to boats with cabins have always hated the proportions of catamarans. "Short, fat and ugly" seems to be the best description, along with "sailing boats for people who don't like sailing"

looks CGI to me?
Young children jumping in from the swim platform with no sign of any LSA. No one watching them, where are the crew?Mums in a huff sitting on the Bow. A very natural photo!

Agreed. It looks like a warship. Its OK if you're a supervillan but not if you have any eye for aesthetics.It is as grey and nasty as the skies around it. Not what a 'Superyacht' and life thereof should be IMHO
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It would be a sad world if everyone build/designed something that had then to be sanctioned by the "aesthetics committee '

It's Dilbar - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilbar_(yacht)
I was in Antibes yesterday and saw Dilbar; I was confused because I had seen it a few years ago but it seemed even bigger this time...I then did some googling and realised it's a new, bigger version! I walked around the harbour and saw the "old" Dilbar which is still pretty impressive.It really is massive -

That's funny, wonder what time of day it was? As I was on the boat just the other side of her, but at only 90m LOA she is hidden from view!It really is massive -

Palmer Johnson 150, looks like Vantage.https://www.moranyachts.com/news/vantage-150-ft-45...
I know nothing about sailing or yachts, but saw a nice looking one today here in Barcelona and it made me think of this thread because myself and Mrs R tried to guess whether it would be close to the £60M entry bar.
We both guessed.... no!
The yacht was Nirvana and google puts it around £200M
Oops!!
