My new Fairline Squadron 78 in the build

Yes, you are right.......she's been now about 8-9 months in the water. The hull was very clean, I use her very often. She has now about 240 hours of operation. Some little parts of the old antifouling paint had come off, but that's it.

Yes, the swimplatform hardware is over designed......it's extremely strong.
The small fixed ladder is to ease climbing onto the boat when the swimplatform is lowered.
Yes, I had plans to add a hardtop to the flybridge and I still do, but I still need to find someone to do it for me with the boat here in Egypt. I had received some quotes months ago, but were extremely high because it was going to be a single production, therefore I abandoned the idea for now.

She has a range of about 400nm at a cruising speed of 22-23 knots.

It's ok Kevin ...........I had posted some before.

Here you are recooler........http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/boat-shows-cruises/10210-pictures-red-sea.html

Hi Masterkey............you must know Russell Currie and James Matthews then, they're very good friends of mine.

The Squadron 78 just found a new home and I thought of trying something else, also a Fairline........that's her upon arrival in Egypt:

Thanks Masterkey............next time you speak to them, give them my regards please.

Here are a couple of pictures of the T64 in the Red Sea on my trip back from Cyprus:

You are very right Jorge. I visited the new Fairline facility in Oundle last week............I was very impressed with what I saw.

These two pictures were taken in the facility..........the new Squadron 65 at an early build stage and the finished boat.

I agree...................a different view of the Squadron 65.

Yes, I saw the mockups and models for the new Targa 58 at the factory................she will be a very impressive boat. A lot of new ideas are built into this new Targa 58.

The glass feature at the stern is a window to the aft cabin. It's a spacious single cabin with a full height ceiling and an ensuite shower and bathroom.

A few shots of the interior on the new Squadron 65...........tell me what you think of it.
