The first boat built by the newly formed Fairline Yachts has rolled off the production line this morning. The boat, a Targa 48 GT, was bought through Fairline Yachts’ London based dealership, Bates Wharf. The beautifully crafted Fairline Targa 48 GT offers a truly open-air experience, thanks to the electric hardtop. Fairline Yachts’ Managing Director, Russell Currie, said, “We are delighted that today has seen the first boat to roll off our production line since our purchase of Fairline Boats from administration at the end of January. We have been focusing on completing existing orders to ensure no customer of Fairline Yachts loses confidence in our ability to provide them with their new boat.”
