Today I was at Norfolk Yacht Agency in Horning on the Northern Norfolk Broads surveying this Fairline 23 Holiday.
Take a Look at the Holiday Owners Club!
More Fairline 23 Holidays were built than any other Fairline Boat range. Between 1972 and 1984 a total of 594 were produced. Despite the slight change in dimensions of the later Mk111 version, all models have the standard layout of four berths in one open plan cabin. Two single berths forward which can convert to a double. And two single quarter berths amidships. The settee stretching across the aft end can also be used as a single.
John Bennett designed the Holiday, which has a hull which is deep vee back to amidships, but shallower and slightly rounder towards the transom, with a three quarter length keel to improve stability at low speeds. Various engine and stern drive installations were fitted. Mostly Volvos, but this example had the Marine BMW 190HP Petrol fitted giving up to 20 Knots.
Surveyors comments: A good diesel version can cost 13K +... you can get a Petrol boat for as little as 8K.. a lot of boat for the money!
