Fairline 50th Anniversary Event

[rafiki_]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you've got a Priness Mike so wouldn't have been terribly welcome !

What boat are you taking Pete ��

Maybe they wanted to hold the event in the Med so that there was a sporting chance of sunshine for the vid? Imagine getting 50 Fairlines together in the Solent and the event gets cancelled because it's raining cats and dogs and the cloudbase is too low for the chopper to leave Soton.

I've heard that, in the past, (especially Sunseeker) that when these events are organised, everyone is welcome.
I would be surprised if this wasn't the case with Fairline.

Anyway, we can't make it.
But we would if we could.

Ouch.

Pete, good news,
My friend has a 70 foot Princess you could use and he would include the crew.

Ouch, but it is a Fairline flotilla / photo shoot, so it would be slightly strange to have other boat in the mix!

Darn!

 

[petem]

Ouch.

Indeed, you can go right off some people !

So who is going ? Pete I assume.

Who else.

Sadly I have dad duties but do arrive there on Monday

I'm afraid I'm not Jeremy (not having a boat makes it a little less appealing).

Still, should be a good event.

P.S., I'll be in Ibiza next week if you fancy a cruise over! I'll bring the beers this time!

Did anybody go ??

 

[oldgit]

Chum of mine went, rumour is that particular vessel crept back on one engine ? ECU problem.
Somebody may know more ?

 

[Racingfrank7]

I have seen some aerial pictures on Facebook but that's it, hoping some one else has some more info & pics.

 

[oldgit]

boat that came back on one engine was due to the IPS munching up all its clutch plates.
Fix and pass the heap on to next mug was one brokers recommendation. !

Fairline publicity shot

 

[petem]

As I said earlier, I wasn't able to attend this year (the closest I got to the event was making the burgees - all a bit lastminute.com but they got there in time and Fairline were pleased with them). Fairline have sent me a link to the full set of photos (120 or so) so if there's any in particular that someone wants then let me know.

I know some people were unable to attend due to the short notice but Fairline have confirmed that as it was such a success they'll repeat the event next year. Next time I hope to be there (might even have a boat) and it would be great to see some of you others there too. I'll let you know as soon as I get a date.

Here's some pics of the event this year...

Can you not put the link on here?

I'm sure Fairline wouldn't mind the extra bit of publicity and I'd appreciate seeing them..

Hi Lloyd, unfortunately they're not my photos to share (they are the original hi res ones) but I'll see what Fairline say.

Another vote for link please if they will let you.

Cheers, Pete.

That makes sense.
