Why bother with a 40-footer when you could get a used Fairline Targa 52 for the same price?
| For: | Sleek design and high-quality finish |
|---|---|
| Against: | Can feel cramped downstairs |
There comes a time in many a growing family's boating life when a two-cabin sportscruiser just won't cut it anymore. If you're prepared to breach the 50ft mark it can be possible to keep the sportscruiser style while still accessing that extra cabin - enter the tri-cab sportscruiser.
On the water, the Fairline shows fast reactions from the helm and pushes effortlessly to 37 knots. A high top speed means the Targa has a better cruising range and efficiency. At 25 knots it is hardly breaking a sweat at 1800rpm, delivering close to 1mpg.
Verdict
The Fairline is a fast, sharp performer and, as it has been round for nearly a decade, a second-hand model has a lower price tag than some of its rivals.
Have your say!
