Thinking about buying or insuring a boat in Preveza Greece??

Fairline Phantom 1976

Today’s mission was to carry out a full Pre-purchase Survey on this Phantom at Woods Dyke Boat Yard in Horning. The acting Broker was Norfolk Yacht Agency.

 
Fairline Boats is based at Oundle and has long been a manufacturer of luxury craft. They now concentrate mainly on craft too large for the Broads, but previously Fairline produced a number of popular smaller craft, many of which are still to be found on the Broads.

Although it doesn’t look quite so radical as the original Fairline Fury, the Fairline 32 Phantom sports a similar, low profile flying bridge, well forward and recessed into the superstructure; again it’s the only helm resulting in a spacious and uncluttered interior. The boat was designed by John Bennett. Fairline launched the Phantom in 1974 and built 310 of them up to 1982.
