| A few more pictures after completion
The Phantom is going to be signed off by the Fairline factory tomorrow and is ready for transport.
The factory has sent me a few more pictures after completion. Unfortunately they are not very generous with the picture taking  , plus it seems the weather conditions weren't the best for a photoshoot.

Yeah - well it always rains in England so you can't expect too much! ;-)
She looks great. Post more when she arrives. I like your boat logo too!

TK-F430,
Here's an image supplied to me by Fairline. Is that you on the flybridge during the sea trial? | |

No Carl that wasn't me. It's my actual boat though at her first launch and sea trial. She's the first Phantom 48 to be built. Later she was brought back to the factory for polishing up and some detailing. I bought her but Fairline only signed her off to me today. You'll get a picture of me on the flybridge once I receive her here in Egypt at my first sea trial, I'm more handsome .

Congrats. You are a more patient man than I am. I'd be seriously tempted to go pick it up and cruise it home myself.  | |

What do you think of my boat's name? Was playing with the fonts today.
Btw., I like your avatar . They had my Ferrari (the love of my life) avatar removed  . I guess I should change it now to "Fairline"  . |
Dear TK
Is Nazli the name of your daughter? It is a very nice name and we use it in Turkish as well.

Thank you Codger. I would love to pick her up, but unfortunately I don't have your expertise and skills in boating. Wouldn't make it on my own. I got some plans though for next summer, so some serious learning is foreseen (I hope) .

Hi Nilo, good to hear from you again .
Yes, Nazly is my 5 year old daughter. It is actualy in origin a turkish name.
So I guess now the boat will be welcomed in turkish waters under this name .

There are relief captains that can be hired so that you can just watch and learn as you go along. Who needs the stress, let someone else that has already done the trip take care of it and then you can enjoy the education.

Nice boat F430 but please tell me you didn't have real teak installed in her.

Thanks Catmando.
It is real teak. Side decks are also done in teak, but you can't really see them in the pictures.
Teak gives a great look to the boat, also quite practical.
What's wrong with teak, except that it is a very expensive option ?

You are ofcourse correct. The boat will most probably be transported to the port of Alexandria in the north of Egypt. Then it is about a 500 mile trip south to where she will be finally moored at the Abu Tig marina just before Hurghada on the Red Sea. I will do this trip with the Captain and it will be my first lesson .

Better hire a mate to clean all that teak(or just use your wife ). Faux teak is lighter(in color), looks better(IMHO) and is much easier to keep clean.
