    I really think Fairline knocked it out the park with this one. The salon layout is fantastic.

    Absolutely beautiful cabins, as expected. Also I really like the cleaver use of space in a the galley area, with the stairs and fridges integrated together the way they are.

    High gloss dark wood and white goes great together. Multiple shades of light blue, white and maybe grey goes well together. But does blue fabric and dark wood match? I don't know.

    Great review of a stunning boat. Hope they listen to you about the cup holders, screen angles and air vents. Those things need to be fixed.

    11:45 For sound insulation, I completely understand why you would prefer this crew cabin to the utility room area as a cabin. Anyone that's heard stories of noisy neighbours, like student accommodation to relatives will know that you don't want to hear what's happening in the cabin next door. No offence. But ask any collage student or apartment renter.

    Great tour, Jack. Really informative.....................................apart from NVH. That's a new one on me. I really do love this boat and my wife thinks the utility room should be on all boats. I love the lower helm and the new side door. 👍👍.Thanks again.

    NVH stands for Noise, Vibration, Harshness if anyone else is wondering. It’s a standard industry term in cars, and now boats, for how refined it sounds and feels underway.

    I always thought that those doors on the bow sun pad/seating where superfluous. I'm also glad to see the suntop slats exchanged for a canvas sunroof.

    12:35- 18L inline 6 vs 32L V12. The C32 is almost a foot wider.I don’t think I’d say slightly smaller and I can guarantee he wouldn’t be able to fit between them if it was packaged with the C32’s.

    Gorgeous boat and great to see it on the water, good job Jack. I reckon all the manufacturers should chip in and get Jack some longer arms to reach their MFD's, come on guys, he's been on about the 'little bit of a stretch' for years, sort it out for the chap. 🤪👍🇬🇧❤️

    Majestic boat. One of those I dream of. It does take two to them, but they do as well as Ol' Nick is boat reviews. One thing I like is that MB&Y isn't afraid to point out an issue here and there.

    Good spot. There is a washer/dryer in a cupboard in the lobby down to the master cabin. It’s too deep to fit in the utility room.

    Add in a couple drink fridge drawers in the lounge areas,and a water maker,tone the wood down to satin and you'll get more sales.Well designed ship.Love the way you can move about it,and have separate areas for a peaceful time when you want too.It seems larger than 68 feet.

    We pride ourselves on covering the newest boats first, but we do also feature one used boat per month in the magazine, we just haven't been able to do a video version of that feature for a few months now. You can watch the latest ones here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/no6XvKiacdabnqg.html

    LOL You can use an iron to get rid of wrinkles. It doesn't mean you have to have starched and ironed shirts. Some people go on long trips or live on their boats. They might be going someplace nice and need starched and pressed. This isn't a small weekend party boat. LOL
