And we can be very confident that when that contract is signed, that will be, by a huge margin, the second happiest day of the buyer's life.

I found this, it is hardly an inspiring lead photo

That may well be the funkiest boat I've ever seen. But like someone else wrote, the pictures aren't bad. They show her in all her glory.


And the funkiness is the charm, truth be told. If she meets someone needs, and someone finds her aesthetics pleasing, she does seem to have some of the basics - there is some value there.

Re: Post the Worst "For Sale" Picture You've Seen.

These aren't horrible pictures, but the 3rd, 4th, and 5th are not the boat that is for sale. For sale is a center cockpit, those three show an aft cockpit. Hmmm.

Good Lord... What an UGLY duck this is... Wow... and the "cockpit" area... Holy moley...

Ok, I may be missing something, but how does one sail that ... "sailboat"... if there is no way to get onto her aft section? Did I miss a hatch??

Re: Post the Worst "For Sale" Picture You've Seen.

In the marina, where we store our boat there used to be a motor yacht "Our Dream" with a big sign "for sale". Sorry, but I didn´t take a picture.......

So, the adverts starts with a claim of a 17 foot beam but the specs say, oddly enough, a 12.99 foot beam. (TWO decimal places?)

Then there’s the reference to the designer as Alexaline. Except, it’s a Roberts.

WTF?

That has to be one of the most incoherent advertisements I have read. I now have a headache.

And yeah, a pretty hideous build.
