Nice, but where is the ABS 52 as a comparison or Targa 52 or pred 52 etc . You have some yachts there that UK and north European buyers wouldn't have a clue about .
Keep up the good work though, top dollar PY !

Just as a note - where did you get the 37 knot WOT with the VP 775's from ? Princess themselves ?
If you want a T52 GT report I can help! - I have a friend who has a V53..................
Cheers

Abs 52 moored next to me in PV at the moment Trev, I thought it was you when we got back to port today after 3 weeks away. Looks v nice, except for poorly fitting aft canvas, and it's now covered in a thousand little blood sucking flies that just feasted on me as I was washing the boat down.

Mine is still in Hamble :-( wish I was down there but other businesses have taken too much of my time to warrant taking her down.
Canvas should be tight as a drum if fitted right, there are several twisty tensioners that allow the canvas to be loose when erecting it then you wind up the tensioners and bobs your uncle, cept of course most can't be bothered so it looks like a sack cloth in the wind!. Can't understand it myself, why would you have a £600k boat and leave it looking like that and have the wind rip it to bits for the sake of a few minutes /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Anyway hope you have lots of pics to share from your trip
PS saw JFM's boat on TV the other night, was some boys toys thing and they shot the closing sequence at the end of Mole Sud and there was BH in all her glory !

abs 52 has patio door, same for Sunseeker 52 Predator and is overall 17 metres
Fairline 52 Targa GT is -16 metres
the same goes for Pershing 50, Sarnico 50 and some other makes, these are all close competition really
Sunseeker 53 Portofino is 17 metres plus too
the more options come with the criteria the more I have to reduce it, as then it becomes a never ending list
sorry Trev, but if you read competition in criteria is all made clear...
