Looks like a nice Med boat. It seems more like a hard boat with a tube around it!

Can't see that A'frame lasting in UK waters.

What's the price?

Would still prefer a Scorpion.

Agree with the view that its a pretty boat for floating around a pretty sea but in comparison give me a £100k scorpion everyday for use in British waters, it will last better and I would argue keep the crew better too....

I would expect that boat to be well over the £100 k mark and thats getting into Scorpion Cabin Rib territory, and that is a very serious bit of kit.

I've been wondering about this also - at what point do the tubes become a fancy wrap around fender and fashion accessory? Not that that isn't a sufficient reason to have them.....

Is there point at which the volume, depth and weight of the main hull, compared with the volume and depth of the tubes makes the effect of the tubes relatively minor? or is there a benefit to having outboard boyancy even if you are a relatively big craft?
