I'm down to go to this Fairline "factory visit" tomorrow (Wed 23rd) in Oundle or somewhere. Anyone from here also going? Anyone been before - is it any good? I'm a bit busy so in two minds whether to make time and go, or just push e-paper round the office as usual. If I do go, anyone here want me to get any info from the Fairline boys and girls? Don't worry, I'll bond with them first, I say I applied to both Lanclustre Poly and Coventry whasname but got rejected for being too thick, and I'll praise them for clever ideas like sticking the vinyl-on-plywood headlinings to the boat with self adhesive velcro pads so they drop on your head when you move more than 15 inches off the pontoon, and mounting those nice green engines on blobs of silicone. Then I can ask harder questions like T52 boarding procedures, why not a 3-cab Squad52 etc (actually Matt the S52 has a small cabin possible in the utility room plus the crew cab in the laz, making 4 altogether I think), leather(ette?) dashboards, why you can slam lock the Phantom patio doors from the outside while doing 25knots on the inside helm but with no-one inside the boat eeek. Anyway let me know any questions.
