Re: what boat?

Tell all. If in St Tropez it might be one of those Bertram fishing boats. Or on other hand it mite be Ice Blue, 40metre woompah twodecker.

Re: what boat?

Ah. Fairline Targa 31 or Botnia targa?

Lets guess a Fairline. The main French distributor for these is Ari de Boom, 15 miles up teh coast at L aRague. Whereas BA Peters is main aganet for UK and Spain, these guys work direct. IMHO they are a zillion miles better than most UK boat fixers. They have spares to hand, men in vans tearing around to reach distant vans, proper workshops, and indeed they own the marina of la Rague. the commercial manager is Murray Bray, based at la Napoule nearby. If the boat is based in that area, chances are that Ade B will know it anyway - and if they don't why not? Murray shd be able to rec'd decent surveyor, and/or give insight to bioat if it's known, (what was the owner like etc) and praps have similars up for sale.
