Fairline Squadron 68 and F//Line 33 to debut at Cannes Yachting Festival 2019

The 2019 Cannes Yachting Festival will be the first chance to see the new Fairline Squadron 68 and the F//Line 33. Featuring the award-winning talents of Italian designer Alberto Mancini and world-renowned engineering from Vripack, the Squadron 68 is effortlessly chic, blending luxury design and a well-considered layout with the celebrated build quality and seakeeping ability of all Fairline builds. Initially called the Squadron 64, the new spacious flybridge model has been renamed to reflect its grand proportions. The Squadron 68 offers 12% more lower deck accommodation space, a 5% larger main deck saloon area and a 10% bigger flybridge than the outgoing Squadron 65. The Squadron 68 adds another dimension to Fairline’s established Squadron range, designed in line with the brand ethos that nothing should get in the way of the perfect getaway.

The second yacht premiering in Cannes is Fairline’s new express cruiser, the F//Line 33, which draws on Fairline’s heritage of producing fun and exciting day boats. Also designed by Alberto Mancini, this entry-level model is perfect for summertime entertaining. The deck features a large forward sun bed and a spacious aft seating area, which can transform into another sunbed. In terms of power, the F//Line 33 carries twin Volvo Penta V6-240 petrol engines, but for even greater performance the option of either twin Volvo V8-430s or twin Mercruiser 8.2 litre petrol V8s is available. A diesel option utilising twin D3-220s from Volvo is also on offer.

Other Fairline models that will be on display at Cannes Yachting Festival 2019 include:

• Targa 65 GTO– winner of the Best Exterior Design Award in the 50-80ft category at the World Yacht Trophies 2017, this was the first boat designed by Alberto Mancini and set the new design direction for Fairline Yachts.
