Ok, I'm not a huge poster, but I saw something that is just simply wrong. I was browsing the US west coast for that 'next sailboat' ... and came across a post on Craigslist. It's a Roberts design... but it just looks so *ugly*.
So as therapy, I'm sharing the link... just in case you thought it was photoshopped.
44 cruising cat has got it right. We might all laugh at that cabin but the owner probably loves the 7 foot headroom and can't see anything wrong with the cabin.
Cheers

I agree with you but the problem is if you want to to sell it it is probably unsaleable.
But the owner of this yacht sailed into a relatively sheltered bay at Lancelin, tied it up to a mooring (probably not supposed to) and headed off to the Eastern States for three weeks. The Samsom Marine C-Breeze yacht let go of the mooring and finished up on the beach. The owner (probably late 60s) had been sailing it for 18 years (solo) and was heading North for the Winter months. (He had hoped to refloat it but another storm finished it off.)
He salvaged anything valuable and then shot thru leaving others to clean up! The yacht was rough as guts but seaworthy and it probably suited him perfectly.
I most certainly wouldn't call this ugly! (Although [she] is called "Ugly Duckling")
Com'ON Coop!
Just because she has ugly in her name doesn't make her ugly.
Aside: Totally unfair to name a beautiful boat in such a fashion. But that would be a topic for another thread...

P.S. What I wanna know is what is up with that racing crew? I know it's near the Finish, but what are all those lazy sods doing in the cockpit? Get yer a$$es up on that rail!!!

Simples, they're in the middle of a tack - Glénans style

Okay! Okay! Okay! LittleWing77. Am I allowed to call this one ugly?
Just a couple from the "I don't know what they were thinking" collection....You be the judge. I have to admit that some, or a great amount of effort and creativity went into creating these beauties.
