Ok, so if I dare to dream...how about a Hinckley DS42. I don't know if you would consider it a production boat, but it sure is pretty.

 

Works for me. I was on one of those at a boat show and couldn't stop drooling. btw, your photo reminds of a skipper, brave and sure I once knew. Is that expression on your face the result of seeing the Hinckley price tag?

 

Most happy boat owners would quickly answer "mine" to your question

 

Any PSC, but inparticular, the 37 is awlful pretty



Oh and I would have said mine, but it's been out of production for 30 yrs

 

Hinckley Bermuda 40...a yawl of course.

 

Resdog, my thoughts "almost" exactly. It would certainly include "classic" lines. Here goes: Spirit 54. Don't know how to attach photos so here's a link:

By "production" sailboat, I meant to include all boats other than custom one-offs. None of my three favorites listed have been made since the late 60's.

PSC 37? Is that Pacific Seacraft?

Never saw the Spirit boats before. They look classic above the waterline, but below they look very up to date. The deck and interior look stunning as well. I posted this thread just to get info on boats just like that. Thanks.

 

I second PoopDeckPappy's thoughts...PSC makes some very beautiful boats.

For example, the Flicka! It may not be THE BEST looking, but's darn cute!

The boat is also featured in the new Bond movie. I only included it as price was not mentioned as a criteria, only "prettiest boat". A little too much wood below for my taste but the craftsmanship is nothing short of stunning (I love it, but it can get really dark fast).

 

I saw a bumper sticker which is may apropo to this thread "LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO SAIL AN UGLY BOAT"

 

Spirit yes. James Bond can't be wrong.

 

I was going to immediatly say "Mine", until I saw the Hinkley....


I'd go with the New York 40.

 

how fast can you go

and it's pretty too

 

those spirit yachts are very lovely. the kind of boat I like best are old classic yawls, but those are certainly not "production" yachts. I especially like the Spirit 46.

 

Price is NOT a consideration, just good looks. "Production" means any boat that is or was not a one-off.

 

William Garden designs

Formosa, Vagabond, Hudson--all are salty-looking beautiful ketches!

 

K1VSK,

I can go faster....

Sorry it's a one-off, but I think it is pretty good looking, no??

 

yer a one-eyed bilge rat if ya can't see that there ain't nothin prettier than 27' NorSea.

Didn't you say it was the second coming from the mold. Even if the interior is completly different, that would mean the hull isn't a one-off

Charlie

 

Does that mean It qualifies as a production boat????????????????????????

Than that is by far the best looking boat!!!!!!!!! Oh yes sir, it is.....

In fact ONLY the hull came from the mould. Everything else is different!

 

Call me a traditionalist--

Concordia yawl

International One-Design

Alerion Express (without that ugly jib-boom)

 

Marshall 22, heeled, viewed from either quarter
Legnos 20

 

Bob Perry said the Tayana52 was his prettiest design. In all fairness, he was talking about the aft cockpit sloop version but I still think we look pretty good!

 

LOL

Of course cam's opinion might be a bit biased, given that the photo he's submitted is a larger version of his avatar...

 

I thought that looked familiar!

Wumhenry, if you have to look at it from 1 particular angle, and only when heeled, does it count?
