    FAIRLINE SQUADRON 50.... YOUR FEED BACK APPRECIATED.

    hi Gregg - I own a 59 squadron and she is one of the finest boats on the water IMHO. FAIRLINE ARE AKIN TO THE ROLLS ROYCE OF THE SEA - you can buy with confidence that your enjoyment of the water shall be assured and only curtailed by your experience of the sea.

    joinng coaxial

    although on second thorghts I vote with sneddon replace the whole length

    joinng coaxial

    the main problem is that you will lose gain - by far the best thing to do is change wire for the correct length - if this is impractical I suggest that you use a male and female joint designed for the job

    How big is too big?

    well Paul, she is most comfortable at about 12 knots - having said that she will do 18knots if the weather/ conditions demand that we "get out of dodge"- after a while bombing around at 25 knots on our Fairline squadron 59 gets a bit boring and its not often that the sea state allows this speed...

    How big is too big?

    it does make sense Paul, the Marlow has better lines than say grand banks or nordhaven they look to much like fishing trawlers IMHO.

    How big is too big?

    20mtrs I agree with you - that's why I chose the Aqua-Star 65 a beautiful half way house I would also mention that my 60ft Squadron is easy peeze to handle with my beautiful wife and I.

    well we have been down in Duquesa costa del sol every mth for about 10 days and apart from it being a bit more windy than last few years the weather has been gorgeous - my wife likes it windy cos she says she has her own climate!!
