Re: Fairline makes boat show comeback in Miami
Pete, thanks for the updates and info. Got any pictures? Do you know whether the high tech furniture line (the automated wood lacquer gear) installed in Corby during Alistair Schofield's tenure) is being moved to Oundle/Nene Valley?
Ref the above quote, if I may call a spade a spade, that is business nonsense. Crazy, you sold your bags to someone completely different, who didn't pay you, and that's bad luck of course. You have my sympathy: I'm a business equity owner too and it's happened to me. It's part and parcel of being in business on your own account rather than being an employee. But to suggest that a debt owed to you by A should be paid by B is muddled thinking in the extreme with a strong flavour of "please can someone else wipe my bottom". The bad taste is entirely of your own invention and any criticism of the new Fairline for not paying you is illogical and most unfair.
I wish Russell, Karl, Andy, Martyn and the wider team, plus the shareholders, much luck in this new venture. They need a new formula of course: Henryf you go on and on about the shortcomings in their current model line up compared with Princess, and I agree with you that those shortcomings exist, but fixing them is absolutely not the solution as you seem to think. The evidence for that is that Princess make old Fairline look like amateurs when it comes to losing money. Princess have at last replaced their CEO and I hope they have a new business plan because their current one is broken badly and there is surely no more money in their shareholder's pockets. Watch that space. New Fairline needs some sharper new designs of course, but they also need an all new leaner production and overhead model, the very opposite of Princess. If they need inspiration, a visit to Azimut would be more useful than a trip to Plymouth

I'm not expecting to get paid and understand 100% the implications of creditors caught up in a company going bust. Happened a few times and no doubt will happen again and again.
Reason for my comment earlier JFM, is under normal circumstances you don't see/hear anything about the goods you lost but this time, I understand Pete has a factory visit, it all sounds rosy and come's away with one of my assets!! It's galling to I hear about this on a forum about my favourite pastime.
Any hope of being paid is pie in the sky
Not heard anything from the administrators for a while. Not expecting to get paid but if it happens then that's a result.
