My new Fairline Squadron 78 in the build

Thank you Francois. I am going for wooden floors. The factory did not manage to install the wooden floors at this stage because they were pressed for time, therefore they installed carpets and will install the wooden floors after the London boat show. My boat will be exhibited at the show. I have two layers of carpets on my current Phantom, but I prefer the wood. IMO, it even looks better.

Best regards,

Tarek

Thank you Kevin. The London Boat Show is from January 11th to the 20th. Then she goes back to the factory for maybe a week, 10 days for a cleanup and to install the wood floors in the saloon. After that she is transported by sea to Greece and I'll sail her from there to Egypt.

Anyone from YachtForums attending the London Boat Show......I'll also be there. Would be great to meet.

Some pictures I took of my Squadron 78 while she's being exhibited at the London Boat Show.........

Some more.........

Thank you gentlemen.......it was great to see her in the flesh at the boat show. Now I am really looking forward to having her arrive at her new home .

You are all welcome aboard should you visit Egypt....which I hope you do.

It is not suede, but I will find out the exact name and description.

...........no comment

It isn't Alcantara Kevin.........it's a weaved fabric with a ribbed texture. Fairline call it a water weave and the fabric's name is "dupione sand".

You are very right.

She's now ready to leave the UK

I visited the factory today at Ipswich to have a final look at my Squadron 78 after the wood floors had been installed......job done, they look great. Fairline did a fantastic job with the floors.
She's now ready for her voyage to Egypt.

Here are a few shots I took today.......
