TRUE BOAT PORN VERSUS JEANNEAU 64 / AMEL 55 / HR 62

This was to be a post about the new Jeanneau 67, the flagship of Jeanneau but then something changed on my mind and I decided to make something different and more vast. Let's first have a look at the Jeanneau 67, on a test by Yachting world:
Nice boat, isn't it? or should I say nice yacht? and before you start to think that this  yacht is only for a few let me tell you that Jeanneau sold in the last years 800 sailboats between 53 and 57 feet. Push pull technologies allowed this size of boats the ability to be solo sailed, dispensing a crew, but giving all comfort in sea motion, added safety and living space, that only a true big yacht can offer. This one costs about a bit more than a million euros and on this department, meaning with people able to own such a boat and pay the huge costs of maintenance and marina, money is not all that important and probably this boat will be competing with the Amel 55 and Halberg Rassy 62, all interesting boats with the same high technology that allows them to be sailed solo. All very  easy and practical boats. Continuing with YachtyingWorld tests, let's have a look at those two:
Yes, all very practical, not properly beautiful but very comfortable and seaworthy. If they were women we would say that they would not call much attention, they would not be sexy, a bit too fat, they would cook very well and were nice to go along. All very nice but hardly exciting, maybe a quiet love but not a true passion and a torrid affair. That will only happen with a true beauty, a sexy lady that would turn your head around and would make you noticed and envied everywhere you went. Only one of those will be able to raise true passions and an irrational desire. Not as comfortable to live along, as the first fat lady, but one that will give you more pleasure and will make you feel truly alive. If we were talking about boats we would be talking about these ones: Many call them boat porn. I don't like the denomination, it seems there is something dirty about them. What is the problem to prefer a gorgeous sexy woman to a fat but very nice lady? What has that to do with Porn? So from now on no more porn boats, but sexy boats. They can do the same as the fatter ones, faster, more uncomfortably and on a more passionate way. For some the passion that can be translated by hours at the wheel, enjoying every moment, will be very disagreeable to others, that would prefer the boat on autopilot and will want a more sedate motion than the one of  a boat going way faster, with spray flying around from time to time.
So, if you have some millions to spend on a boat, take your pick...and if you don't.... take  your pick anyway because this thing about sexy yachts versus comfortable yachts does not happen only in big boats: we can make this comparison with any cruiser size, even if the big ones are the sexiest and more beautiful ;-).
