And the rather nice looking thing to the left of the Dazcat. Any idea what it is?

I'm colourblind, so may be very wide of the mark - but the (wooden?) superstructure one looks very 'RNLI lifeboat' with navy hull and orange superstructure...

Otherwise, lovely thing.

Just lovely boats. I'd have a Duchy 60 over that Slipstream any day.

I can't get beyond the coloration where the GRP apes a traditional wooden boat.

...but I'm not a boatist, of course smile

Not trying to cause an enormous thread derailment, especially as the highest spec D35 is just touching 1% of £60m...

This one is a custom boat really, having a full teak veneered and varnished exterior, walnut interior and 3 way smartglass.


The more standard looks like this:


But we also have some with half veneered wheelhouses, another with double thick varnished caprails etc, we can pretty much do whatever people want as long as it will stay floating upright and work well at sea!

Back to the big boats!

You are indeed wide of the mark, imo - nothing like lifeboat orange hehe

Those are stunning.

Must arrange a visit when next in Cornwall.

Fair enough.

To a decent chunk of the male population (much, much tinier percentage of females), that's exactly what it looks like!

The 60m mark you mean ?

Given it's length, I think Phi will easily cost 60 million. The old super yacht rule was roughly 1 million a meter. Newer yachts are more expensive.

I'm almost certainly talking the biggest load of ste, but is it just me or does the bow rather messily cut through the water?

Happy to show you around any time, usually one on the water and the build facilities always open for a tour.

I was being a bit facetious however closer to 50M dollars is more like it. Not that it matters. Its a pretty slick yacht
