When compared to Kiade who are Riva’s official licensees, it looks slightly off. Plus Kiade’s materials are better. https://www.kiade.com/en/produit/riva-rivarama-70cm-coque-marron/
Got my attention at first when I saw the word Yacht…. Apparently VMB does not know or understand the huge difference between a boat and a Yacht. The model shown is a boat not a Yacht.
By this definition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacht it qualifies as a yacht.
By this definition, too

Does not qualify as a ‘Yacht’ to buyers of real 1:1 Yachts.
The two sources above say otherwise. But hey, there are some who refuse to call some cars „cars“.
“Thanks.” There was NO need for the snarky reply…..”But hey, there are some who” always feel they need to do that type of thing.
