Link: http://nordicstar.net/index.html If you happen to speak to someone from that company, tell them to lose the Flash nonsense. It's annoying and slow. When I want to browse products, I want to see them as quickly as if I turned a magazine page. They're using Flash to switch from one picture to another, which can be done faster in other ways. Silly. Turn off the Flash player, Active X http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view...Id=tn_12727&sl... Cool, but then what happens when I go to a site where I want to see the pictures, and they're only available via the flash travesty?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - So.... now you want you use flash....... go figure.... I never said that. If you disagree, quote the text. I said I want to view pictures without flash. Before that, I said the site design was defective. |

I think the lines are generally pleasing, but I have no basis upon which to evaluate the build quality. I agree with Don White about the apparent value (you can get a brand new 31 foot Albermarle sport fisher for around $300k). $250,000 and up seems like a lot for one of these, but that's simply at first glance and there may be more content or quality than can be detected from photos on the web site. If they are bulding these boats in Europe, the current unfavorable exchange rate between the US dollar and the EURO is going to make these boats seem rather costly. Definitely an East Coast design; even the finest "picnic" and "lobster" boats have a tough time getting a foothold in a market where we boat year 'round- more often than not in cool, wet weather. |

The one with the swept in side reminds me of a 1956-59 design. |
