FAIRLINE NEW BUILD

So for example is one of the resin inlets sucks some air togheter with the resin, this will transport air bubbles everywhere in the hull..
 
Late 22 early 23 it was just an enquiry .
That’s not really long. It must be a six to 12 month build process depending on size and a zero to 6 month wait before start, so that means the order book is not that big. Someone I know got given a 4 year delivery date on a new sailing cat.
 
I'm guessing Sealine offered to stump up the costs before you drag their name even lower through ownership, and Fairline offered an unacceptable date in the hopes you'd beggaorf to Sunseeker who dont seem to mind who they sell to. :p
i am trying to get the right Formula but not ever seen one yet.

I think @BruceK has one (?) - is his fine vessel your dream boat?

Sunseeker do seem to have been quite notorious in the past re how they would sell to anybody who wanders along with a couple of suitcases stuffed with cash - were these stories true, or did they always abide strictly by rules re money laundering?

The Formula only appeals to those with taste

I only do my part to spread the rumours, I do not validate them :p
 
So here's a question if say the main builder's like Princess, Fairline and the like have a few year's waiting list would they be able to offer a deal ? like a lease on one of their part exchange boat's until yours is built ?

I doubt it in the current market. Far too many potential complications, like who pays when the engines blow up.
 
I was speaking to a few small sized and one big sized builder the past days. Unlike the past they said going over production is a high risk cause of the current crisis in raw materials.

So if in the past like in the boom of the early 2000s they might have ramped up production by 10-25% to accommodate additional builds, this time because of the jumping prices in materials most of which spanning upwards, the risk not worth taking.
 
I should point out , it is someone I know inquired about build times at fairline . out of my league .
 
Same everywhere. Nordhavn lead time for most models is now 2023. One of the best selling models is the 68. I forget how many millions that is. $USD 7MM?
When you print out of thin air £325 billion (£325,000,000,000 - that's £5k for every man woman and child in the UK or about double that per taxpayer), or heaven knows how many trillion USD, in a single year, and throw that newly created "money" to the four winds, and at the same time there are newly created asset classes like Bitcoin and Bored Ape Yacht Club Non-Fungible Tokens that (again out of thin air) create brand new money from nothing, some of that newly-born moolah is bound to end up at the boatbuilders.
It won't last. When a bar of CDM weighs 1 gram and costs £10, or the monthly gas and electricity bill for a 3 bed semi is £10k, it will end!
