Nope, me too. Teak decks with rubber caulking? Come on, no one has that much spare cash! Looks like a19th century Topper Edited by Matt Jackson |

Looks like a nice idea to me, but not quite right. Such things as the sharp deck edges and having the mast unsupported at deck level make me think it was put together by a fashion house, not a sailor.

Doesn't do it for me. Form before function, very Italian.

Think you have this the wrong way around... Form following function is where there is nothing in the design which has no function. If it was form following function it wouldn't have teak decks for sure. |

That's why I said form before function, not following. Either way, I don't even think it is very good looking, let alone particuarly well designed. Neither use nor ornament... |
