this months contentious topic is which boats are cool, and which are not?

Just like on Top Gear boats are either:
seriously uncool
uncool
cool
very cool
sub zero

The fridge is reserved for Wally Yachts because they are the Aston DB9 of all things that sail, and I can say that cos this is my thread and so i get to be like Jeramy Clakson.

Unfortunately if you think anything called "Wally" can possibly be cool, you are evidently actually Richard Hammond. I am further forced to correct you and point out that Swans are the Aston Martin of yachts.

I see where you are going with this. What about XODs? How about keelboat helms who wear an "ironic" skipper's hat (as I've seen XOD helms do)?
