I had a morning at Norfolk Yacht Agency today Surveying this classic Farline Targa 27. A 1989 model with twin diesels.
After the river trail we were discussing the speed of this cruiser. With a T27 like this one fitted with 130s she should be able to get about 26 knots tops and cruise at about 23.
A T27 around this age has the 130HP AD31s rather than the later AD31Ps which were 150HP. |
The Volvo book reckons that the max revs are 3900 with a cruising revs at 3600. Economy is 28litres/hour at wide open throttle and about 16.5litres/hour at cruising revs. This is per engine of course. |
Surveyors comments: Fairline from that era had a reputation for being solidly built with good hulls - I cant argue with that. |
