40FT FLY BRIDGE
Both boat companies and different decades can have quite an effect on the execution of what, on the face of it, look like surprisingly similar boats. Three of these circa 40ft flybridge boats have a surprisingly similar layout and yet the look and feel of each one is entirely different. Some of these differences are dictated by changing fashions, others are down to evolution, and some are due to the manufacturer’s particular way of doing things.
Of course, some builders tear up the rule book completely and create something so different it’s as though they’ve reinvented the boat entirely, so I’ve thrown one of those in too.
