I had a trip up to Lincoln and Burton Waters yesterday to Survey this Sealine F42 Motor Yacht.
Sealine has been designing and building boats for more than 30 years. It was founded in 1972 by Tom Murrant, who started out with nothing but the belief that he could make a boat better than those available on the market at that time.
Despite the company's overwhelming success and expansion over the years, Sealine remains at its original location in the West Midlands, England's industrial heart. People passionate about boating run the company. Staff are highly skilled, experienced boat builders and some have been employed since the first Sealine cruiser, the 23ft 'Continental', was born.
Boasting a workforce of more than 700, Sealine employees are specialists in their respective fields, which includes everything from mould-making to wood/metal work, upholstery, lamination and interior design.
Today, Sealine is one of Europe's largest production luxury boat builders, producing more than 300 boats a year.
Surveys comments: Always impressed with the hulls on the Sealine boats. They have solid fiberglass hull bottoms supported by a closely spaced network of longitudinal and transverse fiberglass stiffeners. Combinations of stitched and woven reinforcements are used with polyester resin. Balsa-coring stiffens the hull sides, decks and superstructure, and molded fiberglass liners define the interior.

| A touch of a button engages Sealine's patented extending cockpit system on this model. The entire transom slides back, extending its length by three feet and almost doubling the aft cockpit's area. With the cockpit extended you can throw in a big table and six chairs for those that can't fit on the transom lounge. So 10 people can sit down in comfort to enjoy an alfresco meal in idyllic surroundings. |
