| Design Lookalikes
Have you all come across any design lookalikes? For example, a particular yacht might have been constructed and then later some other design comes up that looks starkly similar to it. Well while on the MondoMarine website, I had a look at their 50M design and the first thing that came to my mind was the MondoMarine built O'ceanos.
Even though the two are from the same company, they are practically sisters in design.
Have you all experienced any similar designs for totally different designers or companys? http://www.mondomarine.it/media/engl...uction/10.html |

Or how about those Turkish yards that are making nearly identical copies of the recent Palmer Johnsons?

I honestly believe there are examples of cross-pollination that are down to the same designer / stylist working for different companies perhaps as there are in the car industry. Some others are coincidence, others are rather blatant... http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/su...ad-ringer.html | |

Hey CODOG,
I have never seen that thread untill you posted it. My first reaction was what was cloned after the Sunseeker in the two photos you posted. I was looking for comparision after the first two photos then I realized, oh shoot, that was the clone. I tell you, that looks clearly like a certain UK yacht manufacturer.
