Someone's having a bad day.

Puerto Portals.

Obviously something that either the bilge pumps couldn’t cope or they were fitted incorrectly or in the wring place , it’s stern down so I’d say something engine or pod related , possibly AC water inlet failed or AC pump as they have to be mounted below the water line to suck .
Either way it certainly does suck , I wonder if the fault will be revealed or will it be hush hush In case it’s a design fault .

With the Pearl 3 mm thick or what ever P bracket lay up area , it took a court case for that to surface , no pun intended .
A Paul says it’s its likely we will never really get the bottom of it .Even though the boat did .

This man escaped the Ghetto. Give him a pirate flag and tell him to come party one weekend!

We saw it yesterday in the marina. A very sad site, it's a brand new Targa 45. Now on the hard standing.

Any clues as to what happened?

I'd hazard a guess that someone must have pulled her out with a crane.
Can't figure how else she could move from there to standing on the hard!

Diver air bagging it to lift it off the bottom , then move to the yard area with what ever lifting mechanisms.

Do you have photos of her on the hard. Especially of the bottom

I hope the current Fairline CEO response would be better to that he gave to someone else in another boat builder in the same position....

Not personally interested, but a good friend of mine has a 2010 boat powered by a pair of IPS 500.
Don't know if and to which extent they are similar to whatever was installed in this boat, but can you think of anything worth checking, that could cause such sad result?
I mean, I asked this chap if there are any valves somewhere that could/should be closed when the boat is left unattended for some time, but he's not aware of anything like that.
Or any rubber hose that could cause a water ingress if worn out, or anything else?
I'm sure he would appreciate any suggestion you might give, which of course I would pass to him.
Thanks in advance!

I’m thinking more likely a manufacturing fault or installation fault , this is brand new boat so nothing should have corroded away .

God give them a break but if it was blamed on them who better to refurb

 

[Reality61]

Its a brand spanking new Targa 45 GT supplied by Fairline Majorca. The IPS was on the bottom stopping it from going all the way down.
Got to feel for the owner. New expensive boat top spec and not able to use her, or dare we say replace her quickly.

 

[volvopaul]

Some real speculation in this post about someone else’s real misfortune , whoever owns it I am sure with this much investment will be a professional man , he will have already contacted his insurer to claim , be in discussion with a surveyor to asses the boat , make reports and hopefully he will be insured with reputable company that won’t take forever to pay out .

I have clients with 10 year old plus IPS boats , one has only just had all coolers done on his D6 engines , the pods have been re sealed as drive oil slightly emulsified.
As I’ve said it must be some kind of design flaw or failure of an under water parts integrity .
