Broker's Comments I was at the Southampton boat show when the first Fairline Forty was shown !! Crickey... I was on the colvic Beta 40 afloat just near it and it was where we were losing many clients! big strong boat, with "Crew cabin" think that was the first time I had heard of such a thing ! normally used in real life by the kids ,, or more likely as a "Store" as it is so useful. The internal dimensions of the boat make for spacious cabions and plenty of elbow room all round. Huge cockpit and with decent flybridge although with short over hang small by todays standards. Bennet semi-displacement hull form has small skeg keel which makes for surefotted directional stability and helps a lot at river, marina, speeds.. With the new Volvo D6's in her I think she must be an able and comfortable seaboat and I look forward to a Sea trial.. Must be good value for two recent engines and a forty foot Fairline thrown in for £47,000....

Portsmouth £99,500 REDUCED
