I spent the
morning looking over this Sealine F44 at Brundall today. Built in 1998, she
powered effortlessly on the speed trial with her 370HP Volvo engines.

The standard of
fibreglass moulding is impressive. There are lots of curves and rakish lines
that fall somewhere between flybridge cruiser and mini-motoryacht.

A high-volume
production boatbuilder, Sealine uses galvanised iron beams for the engine
bearers and sub-floor structure. Longitudinals are glassed-in and run well
forward for rigidity.

The Sealine F44
is built to Design Category B, which means that according to the book it can
withstand Force 8 winds (near gale at 34-40kt) and waves up to 4m
high!

Surveyors comments: I found that on the river trail and speed run the low centre of gravity leads to nice seahandling and you can count on British
engineering to get you home.
