I'm aware that a thread already exists for the V39 but I'm going to try and upload some photos and so as not to blow up someone else's hard work I though it best to do the damage on a separate thread. Just on the off chance it all goes tits up :)

Have to say an absolute cracker of a boat. Nowhere did you get the feeling it was a stripped down built to a budget boat. Loads of wood and nice stuff inside, great features outside.

Oh dear mother and father of all things computer based it works. If only my old headmaster could see me now. He said I would never amount to anything.

How wrong could he be. Flushed with the success of mastering both internet, camera button and Mac-pc compatibility we move down below:

One of the Princess sales team seem to have left their swimming costume lying around. I have my suspicions and worryingly it's a he not a she !!

I seem to think there is a 6 image limit to posts so a final burst of the khazee and the rather spacious aft locker, (or slightly cramped crew cabin).

Well that's it in a nutshell. No too scruffy at all is it?

We have been mulling over the V52 for a while now as an upgrade to our P42 flybridge but have decided that we are in fact flybridge people. Bizarre as when we had our Targa 35 I couldn't see the reason to make the price jump up to a flybridge. Now we wouldn't be happy making the saving to go back to a sports boat. Bloody odd but there you go.

Watch this space....

Looks very nice. Meant to have a look on Friday but ran out of time so thanks for posting the pics.

Great pics, in fact they give much better look of the boat than the official ones do. I love the wooden flooring in the saloon.

Now if only I'd won a bit more than a tenner on the lottery last night I'd be upgrading sooner than I'd planned :D

Nice pics! Went to have a look today but clearly I wasn't dressed right as they along with just about everyone else except the guys on the prestige 390 ignored me! No great loss!!

The v39 looks a cracker! Will try harder for a better look in Southampton!

Many thanks for the kind words. I popped into the show en route to photographing my boat so had a decent camera. There's a little bit of me that dreams about re-living our Targa 35 days in a V39 but it's not going to happen. We've got too used to the space :)

Good to see these pictures, as I wasnt totally won over-something left me cold.
Down below looks good, and good use of the space. The helm is very good indeed.
(Fairline really need to start again with the 38-the helm is appalling. Tiny plotter space -this is 2012, right; even then the view of it can be blocked by the steering wheel;**** seats..)
Anyway, maybe it was just the austere black and white in the cockpit of the V39....a cross between a German kitchen and a Swiss dentist room.
Still, compared to the Sessa gold medallion offering, this is fantastic.

I see MBM have a video up of the V39 at London now.

I like it a lot. Out of my league sadly, but definitely in my "when I win the lottery" list. (What a shame I don't actually do it).

A very nice looking boat. I think I had better keep well away from these in case I decide I don't really need two kidneys ;) That said, I really wouldn't be interested in paying VAT on a new boat so I'll be safe for a while yet :D
