This is a piker compared to some others. This is just a stretch limo version.

Try Bolger's Birdwatcher. Worse than a PD racer

I have found that sometimes the ugliest boats have the best lookin wimmins.

At least Bolger's boats are kind of cool and quirky (you're going to offend somebody talking like that)

I have found that sometimes the ugliest boats have the best lookin wimmins.

Truth.

[Bernadette]

this is a nice one compared to others i have seen.
and i agree, some of bolgers boats, leave little to be desired.

[upchurchmr]

Lets see the picture, I don't think you are all that trustworthy.

How could you tell in a Birdwatcher?

Cool and Quirky means we have a serious disagreement.

Who has another candidate?

[sailboy3]

[David G]

That boat in the OP is not ugly. It's just... British!

[Woxbox]

Did someone say British?

[Rob Stokes, N. Vancouver]

looks more like a sail bus...

[purri]

or a Brixton ghetto boat

[St.J]

Did someone say British?

Chaps,
Jealousy is an ugly thing.
Honestly, it's hard to throw a seagull over here without hitting one of these.

St.John

[St.J]

This, however, would contravene planning regulations in the UK.

[Bernadette]

no matter how "ugly" the boat...they are each their owner's pride and joy! its amazing what fun you can have in boats whatever they look like. we all know that.

[WX]

There is a fine between inventive and eccentric.

[wizbang 13]

I think that sampan is very good looking.

fun laughing at them

A slippery slope

just me lowering the bar

At least it kind of matches the house as far as windows.

[Breakaway]

Reminds me of a "streamline" locomotive

Kevin

Haha, yeah, trains... my other obsession.

the EMD E series came to mind.

[seedy]

Was that a Greyhound bus at one time? Has that Scenicruiser look.

[sailboy3]

Yes, I think so.

[sailboy3]

another contender... the reinell 26

[John B]

That looks like a Roberts pilothouse, 24 or 26 ft from memory. They actually can look very good but yeah that particular cabin is a shocker

hmm, yeah , I think its one of these.


That was / is a great little coastal cruiser, cold moulded ply IIRC.

[John B]

just me lowering the bar

Bar, did you say bar?


I'm in.

[Michael D. Storey]

I have seen a few boats get chopped up real bad like to accomodate a disability in the owner. Better than givin up on sailing.

[John Bell]

Best thing about owning an ugly boat is is you don't have to look at it while aboard.

Anyone who insists on only being seen on pretty boats probably suffers from some kind of narcissistic personality disorder -- "hey look at ME!" -- and should probably be avoided.

I just sold my eyesore of a boat, and I miss it already.

[Bob Adams]

Man, that boat is beautiful in comparison to this:

[WX]

Yes, I think so.

I like the rear vision mirror, nice touch.

[skuthorp]

another contender... the reinell 26

A neighbour has two of these, one is on a trailer off in the bush, the other is being used as a chook house.

[James McMullen]

. . . . .Anyone who insists on only being seen on pretty boats probably suffers from some kind of narcissistic personality disorder -- "hey look at ME!" -- and should probably be avoided.

Guilty as charged. Pretty shameless about it too. I done put in my dues with them frightful square boxes, and I ain't never going back!

[Gerarddm]

That new proa by CLC is pretty ugly in my book.

[davebrown]

This stunning beauty can be yours, right now, as you read this, for a mere $5000. That's right--four months' worth of unemployment checks and it's yours.

It doesn't match the eye pollution down the street from me in the form of a guy who has three--THREE-- B.Whalers, the camels' asses of the boating world. Makes me want to be poor again and move back to where people can only afford one godforsaken camel's ass of a boat. He has one on the side of his house, filled with trash bags and mufflers and boxes, one in the driveway, carefully stored underneath a bunch of frayed and torn blue tarp, and one mouldering on a rusty trailer on the street. I drive home one extra block over, with two stop signs instead of none, just so I don't have to get mad and kick my wife's poor nine year old dog.

St.John

Gosh how the River Thames and London has changed since I was last there

[zertgold]

Throwing seagulls actually sounds like a lot of fun. Is that a common sport over there?

[sailboy3]

That new proa by CLC is pretty ugly in my book.

I don't think its that bad.

Eric Sponberg's Delft is an ugly boat:



In fact I don't like most of what he does. Oh well, nobody's forcing me to look at it.

[Bobcat]

The original boat is a piker compared to the Buccaneers:

[seedy]

Only when they won't start. :^)

[Bob Adams]

So nobody but me thinks Raw Faith is uglier??

[JimConlin]

...Honestly, it's hard to throw a seagull over here without hitting one of these....
St.John

Is throwing seagulls anything like midget bowling?

[sailboy3]

So nobody but me thinks Raw Faith is uglier??

Raw Faith is... Raw Faith is sooo far out that you can't even put in the same category as anything else on this page. But, yeah, she takes the pie in some department at least.

[upchurchmr]

Wrong. Looks good.

You guys don't get out much do you?

I know it says, SAILBOAT, but in Sacramento I have such a rich cowpie of bad boats to choose from, I just have to add some of these. Really, this area for some reason is just ground zero for the most gawdawful wretched eexcuses for boats I have seen anywhere in the world.

[sailboy3]

Maine isn't Texas upchurchmr...


I'm surprised no one has pulled out a pic of the infamous 26m yet.

OK, if not limited to sail, I have the winner!
