James you tell everyone how it is in a language anyone can understand, that's why we love you and your informative tours. I love Fairline boats so much attention to detail put into their models, brilliant!

You have a relaxed commentary, bit of humor, plenty of good information and a trooper for a camera man. The T47 is a nice all around boat.

No disrespect to any other KZreadr, however this is the only yacht channel to honestly present the realities of life onboard 9.5/10 🏅🎖🏅

The problem with the Fairline Targa range was that the visibility was shocking and I’ve driven London buses that were quieter. But they do look pretty.

I think the viz is good but they are noisy - a small price to pay for exceptional engineering

Just came across this review. The Tiara 4700 Sovran from 2008 is a much better build. That engine room looks tiny. I like that it has straight vs V drive. Sightlines in the cockpit look obstructed as you appear to need to scoot down to look starboard and to the port (not just the turn). The galley sink bowls looked odd. Would have been good to see the inside of the garage. Walk arounds look very narrow - I can understand why a previous owner added a handrail. Thanks for the detailed review.

Thank you for your videos I love watching them I learn a lot from them. It would be great to do a Q&A video because I have so many questions. Is there a brand that you would say is the “most reliable”? Best value for money? How to transport a boat for example from UK to Croatia? What are the costs? Whats your best tip for a family of 4 with a budget of 200kEUR?

Great video, lovely boat but would prefer a flybridge. Love the way you blame the holding tank pipe after exerting yourself getting out the engine bay. An expensive way of washing the fenders but looks like fun. You have balls to go that close to the shore at high speed on a falling tide (either that or very good insurance) 🙂

I know there used to be (it may still be there) a Corvette at your marina...not sure if it was a 32 or 320. Have you ever seen a Corvette 340 (the one with the full width rear cabin) or indeed had one for sale?

Nice boat, two big problems for Mediterranean use - poxy small side windows do not allow sufficient freash air when swinging at anchor with the roof only open a small ammount to keep the cocckpit shaded. Similar cheap poxy side windows on the 2021 Targa 45 GT too! Again, to save cost, bought in telesccopic bathing ladder with no above platform handholds - just watch a middle aged 100 kilo owner try to use them. Fairline still need input from actual Boat Users!! Thanks for the video. Captain Jon

... if you like the idea of boating but can't afford it you can volunteer as crew. People especially older owners can sometimes really do with a hand. Yachting clubs around the country have adverts and you can offer your services. If you do well and end up working overseas (>6 months/year means no income tax) in the tip-rich charter market you'll end up being able to afford a small boat in fewer seasons than you might think. There's plenty of money in the world if you really want to get some of it.
