The Canadian Air Force used to keep an executive Convair 580 at Colorado Springs. It was VERY highly polished bare metal with red flashes (and maple leaves, of course).
One of my controllers asked, "What do you use to keep that finish so bright?"
The reply: "enlisted men."

That boat in the OP looks very similar to a boat I ran across designed by the same NA that drew my first steel boat, Klee Wyck. The name of the NA was Pieter Beelsnijder who designed many beautiful boats. The vessels name was Big Sur at the time.

One and the same....
Definitely not a Malahide.
No. 10 – “FORGER”
FORGER is a 74-foot vessel commissioned in 1988 at the German Bültjer Shipyard in Ditzum to a Beeldsnijder design. It is immediately obvious that she is definitely a different sort of motor yacht. Her iroko (a large hardwood tree from the west coast of tropical Africa that can live up to 500 years) topside gleam has countless coats of varnish. She came to town 10 years ago and is berthed on the end of Linda Isle

It is indeed a Bultjer, the shipyard still exists and is located on the river Ems, Northern Germany.One and the same....

One of the few shipyards that still build in wood.
I knew the private captain who sailed this ship, it was then on the Mediterranean Sea.
Bultjer, owner of the shipyard, is no longer alive, she used to build a lot of fishing trawlers.
Unfortunately, the designer, Pieter Beeldsnijder, is no longer alive either.
Ships he has designed are always recognizable, they have undeniably beautiful lines!
Greeting,
Pascal.

The photo attached is of the Beeldsnijder that I owned for eleven years. I agree with Pascal that they are quite recognizable and usually quite beautiful. Even after eleven years, I always sucked in my breath a little when I looked back at her.
He designed an impressive number of craft in a range of size and materials, though many were steel like mine.
