Pictures of My Fairline Phantom 48

Thanks Nilo for the advice. All this information is ofcourse new to me. I must check what facilities exist in Hurghada to bring the boat out of the water during the off-season and have it stored properly. I haven't heard of anyone there taking their boats out in winter for storage except for the possible annual maintenance and antifouling coating and then they go back in the water. What is the minimum recomended duration to leave a fiberglass boat out of the water to dry and is it required annually?

Thanks for the advice .

Gentlemen, I would like to mount a small tender on my Fairline P48 rear swim platform. How can I do that neatly with proper accessories and what sort of tender?

Hello Nilo,

Yes, this is exactly what I had in mind. Thanks for the suggestion. I will get the measurments and inform you.

Best regards, Tarek

My idea was to have the tender only on the swimplatform while the boat is moving. Once anchored, the tender can be brought into the water. I need a tender for two reasons. The main reason being that we have many small islands in the Red Sea. When the boat is anchored at sea at one of the small islands, to move guests and crew between the boat and the island. Also needed for safety reasons, incase you need to leave the boat for an emergency, the tender will be available.

Not a bad idea, but like you said, it will most probably not match the length of my passarelle, but I will have it checked. Thanks .

Thanks Evan. Just had a look at their website. They look good, but looks like a major task to have them fitted. I gather you must drill through the hull to fix the mounting brackets. If that is so, I personally wouldn't feel comfortable drilling through the hull.

I agree with you. If they are installed by a professional yard who's done it before or at the factory as a listed option, I would definitely go for it, they do look great and the design is excellent. However, I would need to do it here in Egypt on my own and I would not feel very comfortable drilling holes in my hull. I will contact Greg Vogel and discuss with him the installation procedure and find out the degree of difficulty. Thanks again Evan.

Pictures with the Graphics applied

Boat is due for transport to Egypt next week, April 4th. It's been a very long wait . Today I received a few pictures from the Fairline factory after they had applied the graphics, "Nazly", to the boat.
Hope the next pictures I will post will be of the boat at her berth here in Egypt.

Thanks Y.Luver .
