New Model: Fairline Squadron 58

Fairline present the awaited sporty looking and innovative Squadron 58, with the first hull just finished and debuting at the 2023 Southampton boat show, Britain's prime boat show nowadays.  Initially started as a concept by Alberto Mancini in the end of 2019, the Squadron 58 was evolved and tweaked by Fairline's inhouse design team in the last two years, with hull design from Japec and Jakopin.  The Squadron 58 starts the transformative era, which the British builder seems to be embracing in a not fully convinced way in the upcoming new models, as both the drop down bulkheads balconies to both port and starboard side are on the options list.  Other interesting details in the new Squadron 58 are the clever layout enhancing diagonal bulk-head which splits the aft deck from the interior saloon astern enhancing the galley in a better way to the aft deck, and the optional glassed transom with modular settees which can be set up as to one liking; looking back, forward or sideways.  It all looks interesting but ticking the three important options; port side drop down bulkhead, glassed transom with modular seating, and the up down bathing platform on the Squadron 58, takes its competitive pricing away.  Should Fairline have standardized some of the Squadron 58 stand out features, like one of the drop-down balconies, and the glassed transom layout?  Without these features the Squadron 58 is similar to the competition that has been dominating this size in the last decades, with them she is a step above for entairtenment expansion which is the trend nowadays especially in the important North American market
