I’d certainly agree that the high freeboard is a challenge with a dog although there are few boats where you wouldn’t have to back up to a dog/casualty and use the bathing platform.. esp modern high sided ones of today. We have a good system now and the space more than makes up for it. Luckily...

The refurb is coming to an end.. for now! 240v and 12v all upgraded. Distribution panel all rewired and labeled; new bilge pumps and wiring throughout. Addition circuit breakers added for all Nav gear; AC supply cables all replaced to modern standards; upgraded shore cables; Volvo panels...

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I always vent before but it seems like there is differing opinion on running. I hadn’t thought about the idea of venting to cool down.

Hello all, Do you run engine bay fans when going along or only on start up? TAMD61a on shaft in a Turbo 36.

Congrats! Nothing like an old Fairline to fill your time! We have loved sorting ours and she is such a great hull.

Which measurements would you like? Just the door size? I am down this weekend and can do this for you.

Brilliant report! Thank you for posting. I am so glad to see you enjoying the boat as I know it took a while to find!

Good to see she is going well @CromeDome. Absolutely brilliant boat -never missed a beat for us and was surprising economical too! I would recommend if you can find one! This was her a few years earlier… please excuse my wonderful mother in law!

The refurb continues… New mattress for the aft cabin from Tim and Marine bedding.. highly recommended! I now have a massive cabin with the most comfortable bed! Canopies are all refurbished - it has made a world of difference both to the look of the boat but more importantly to to those using...

Having been without a boat for a while, I can say that the act of owning a boat (and knowing it is there) gives me a lot of pleasure. We live over the shop so knowing that we can occasionally escape to her always makes me happy.... and then of course there are those priceless days, evenings and...

An invite will be coming soon Pete!

In truth we keep changing our minds. Each has been great in its way. We had a Prestige 46 (which I loved) but I needed to cut my costs so we changed to a Marex 320ACC which was too small. Lovely boat though.. The T 36 means that I have maximised the space and reduced the capital outlay. There is...

So sorry to read of your loss. As others have said, there is huge support from caring people here. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
