Ah, you'll be responsible for churning up the water all weekend then...

In those RIB's, no. It's the big powerboats that cause all the wake, well that and that westerly wind we had all weekend!

This is our new baby, i've been around boats all my life, owned myself for nearly 10 years now but never had new, until this "needed shifting" from a dealer in the autumn.....

I have to say i'm deeply in love!

She's a Salar 40 - designed by Laurent Giles and built in the late 60's.

Here's us crossing the finish line of the ARC last year. Just getting ready to head up from the Canaries to the Azores next weekend and then on to the UK for the summer before starting again and four or six Atlantic crossings plus a couple more races....

Back home now I see....

Not quite of the scale that some have here, but it gives a bit of an adrenaline kick when the wind is up

Taken today at my employers test facility, our new 50' offering. It's a good feeling to see your own design in the flesh.

Got a bit pissed with one of your collegues at the Singapore GP last year, he had done a compairable blag to me and we found ourselves in the same hospitality box, will see if i still have his namecard!

Its good to see someone who has made a career of boat design, i did Yacht and Powercraft Design at Soton but never got into the industry!

Ohh and not a picture of "our" boat, but currently racing a Magic 25

Lol... i did naval architecture at soton (which i think came before the yacht and powercraft design course) and then realised i was quite thick, so jumped ship (do you like what i did there?!) and ended up with a degree in marine deckchair management. of course, as a career yacht broker, i use sooooooooooooooo much that i learnt on that course! (not)

Used to race a P16 with a 115 Suzuki and then went for a P18 with Merc 200. 40+ year old design by Steve Baker that still out performs most other boats out there. Now get that engine on Ebay and find yourself an XR2 to stick on it and scare yourself silly as they're designed for.

Average 40 knots Putney to Ramsgate with an old 80 on the back!

When I lived in Gibraltar the smugglers there had about 15 Phantom 20/21 with Yamaha 200 engines on, the boats were stripped right out and then they could just load right up with huge cartons of cigarettes and take from Gib to La Linea or move Hash from Ceuta/Melilla to Gib+, interesting time of my life living there on my Rival 36

I had similar density problems as well I was first year to attempt the YPCD course (which in itself was a mistake) and ended up getting a masters in Beer Consumption instead. dear old Destitute!

You don't even have a photo on your website yet!

No, the photoshoot is not scheduled until later in the year. The boat was launched at the London Boat Show in January.

• UPDATE* The Fairline Targa 50 will be reviewed in the July 2011 edition of Motor Boat & Yachting (MBY) magazine. There is now also a 360 degree feature on the website. www.fairline.com or go direct to http://vt.prestigevision.com/ma880/
