I spotted this in Gunwharf today, anyone seen one before? (picture quality not brilliant-from a mobile phone!)



Boats safely back after their long race



No where near as nice as Magnum, but...

first one i've seen (or at least seen a photo of), it looks fab. I also saw a Princess V85 in Antibes weekend before last, will try and get pics next time down.

There is something Sealine T52 about that Squaddie.

Not a bad thing, just an observation, around the windscreenand coach roof.

Not seen one before, i suspect that is hull #1 on prototype trials. There are no photos even on fairline's website

Please stick around and get us early photos of the 65 and 85 :-)

from the deck line up, the window shape and lack of arch make it look a bit like a T51

Looks like the boat with the white hull came from the Relcraft design team! Look at the bow.

You mean the sq55 in 1st pic LJS? Yeah, see your point. Though to be fully Relcraftish the chine has to go right to the point of the bow, and even more spray rails are needed! (IIRC. I've not seen a Relcraft pic for years, and very much showing my age here )

I dont see the Sealine T51/52 likeness at all, not one bit :-)
