Open season

Luxury British boatbuilder Fairline Yachts has introduced the Targa 45 Open – the latest collaboration between the company and Italian superyacht designer, Alberto Mancini.

The Targa 45 Open boasts a large sunbed over the tender garage and an expansive cockpit seating area. It also features two spacious cabins and two heads, and improved engine room access.

Originally named the Targa 43 Open, its new name reflects its impressive proportions.

Head of Design and Engineering at Fairline Yachts, Wayne Huntley, explains, “When re-designing what was the Targa 43 Open, we felt the title of ‘43’ was selling ourselves short.

A 45-foot yacht allows for a fantastic boating experience, which is exactly what the new Targa 45 Open provides. Plus, the re-designed engine room means access is now even easier and more convenient.”

The boat offers twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 D6-440 engines offering a comfortable cruise at 26 knots and a maximum speed of 31 knots.  There is an option to upgrade to Volvo’s new IPS650 D6-480 units.
