Fairline announces new Targa 40
British boatbuilder, Fairline has announced its all-new model, the Targa 40. Launching in summer 2023, the Fairline Targa 40 follows the success of the yard’s Targa 38, which launched in 2006 – with over 300 built over the following decade.
The Targa 40 has an open cockpit design with a hardtop and electric canvas sunroof, opening the whole main deck. The new Targo 40 echoes the lines and extensive glazing seen on the Fairline Phantom 65 and Squadron 68.
Fairline’s in-house lead concept designer, Christian Gott, says: “The popularity of the Targa 38 cannot be disputed and this brand new 40 takes everything we loved about the 38 and elevates it for the 21st century.”
Owners will have the choice of either a Volvo Penta D6-340s or D6-380s, which Fairline expects to deliver top-end speeds of 32 knots and 36 knots respectively.
The new Fairline Targa 40 has been designed with usable space in mind and features a fold-down beach club balcony to starboard.
The latest Garmin touch screen display enhances the customer experience at the helm with a simplified and intuitive user interface allowing integrated control of all essential systems.
The Targo 40 has four berths in a two-cabin layout. The roomy master cabin is located forward with 1.98m headroom and direct access to the en-suite which features a jack-and-jill door arrangement. In the midship’s guest cabin, the twin beds offer 1.5m ‘over the bed’ height and slide to convert to a double. The integrated garage has room for a 2.3m tender with electric outboard.
Fairline’s sales director, James Powell says: “The Targa 40 announcement comes at an exciting time for Fairline and marks a major milestone in our new model development programme. We’re continually improving and adding to our model range and this new Targa 40 will offer many boaters their first step into our renowned Targa range.”
