Fairline Squadron 55 - Brochure Model Overview
This Squadron created quite a stir when she was first launched. The reaction to so much power, luxury and spaciousness accommodated by a 55 ft craft verged on the incredulous. This, combined with her beautifully proportioned curves and sophistication, makes her the successful entry point for Squadron ownership, with over one hundred and twenty sold to date.
Staying true to the Squadron concept, she embodies all the refinements imaginable to satisfy her purpose as a vehicle for pleasure and relaxation. Eminently sociable, the new flybridge layout is invariably the heart of the party. A J-shaped upholstered settee, to aft, arches around the table unit. Conveniently located behind the helm seat is the barbecue griddle, fridge and sink with hot/cold water, ensuring the temptation for a spontaneous soiree is never far away.
For user-friendly, long-distance cruising in the lap of luxury, the Squadron 55 offers the perfect antidote to the stresses of everyday life.
Providing the perfect vantage point to observe the world unfurling is the centrally-positioned upper helm and twin co-pilot's seats. Convenient saloon access is gained courtesy of an adjacent glazed hatch.
Behind the lower helm, the splendidly designed, timber-floored galley contains ample storage in the grain-matched, wooden cupboards and drawers, facilitated by its spatially efficient layout. Stainless steel grabrails run the length of the high quality work surface to steady the chef at sea.
All the classic Squadron hallmarks are present. Fairline's superb craftsmanship is literally reflected in the lacquered wood bulkheads, painstakingly polished to glorious effect. Attention to detail is displayed in the meticulously hand-laid wood inlays where the bulkhead is butted, instead of the usual black silicon, de rigeur in lesser boats. There is a simply enormous semicircular settee with stowage beneath, around a cocktail table, complemented by a lacquered wood sideboard, complete with bar unit.
Laid out in the classic Fairline style, the large master double bedroom is lavishly furnished, including upholstered headboard and twin wardrobes with interior lights. Fine lacquered wood abounds, from the bed surround to the timber inlays on the ceiling panels. Naturally, the master would not be complete without en suite facilities, with a separate circular shower compartment.
On all Fairline boats, joinery is of a concealed construction with hidden fixings to keep all highly polished surfaces uniform and flawless. All cabinet latches are push-flush incorporating anti-rattle door locks.
Attached to the galley is the utility room with washer/drier, freezer, ironing board and also primary access to the engine room, making routine maintenance more straightforward. Even helming the boat has been made easier by virtue of the door portside to deck, between saloon and dinette.
Shaded by the flybridge overhang is the roomy cockpit with all-teak floor and weatherproof settee. Two transom gates lead out onto the bathing platform. On either side, steps lead to the side decks, cradled by reassuringly high rails, making a jaunt to the coachroof sunbed all the more secure. Crossing the threshold of the sweeping, curved, stainless steel framed saloon doors, the sense of space, accentuated by the high headroom and curvaceous nature of the interior, is astounding.
Fairline Squadron 55 - Range Overview
The Squadron range epitomises Fairline's dedication to excellence. As always, our criterion was to create the very best boats in their class, and again we believe we have succeeded. Beyond their sheer majesty and grace lies an integrity that runs as deep as the ocean itself. The superlative design, quality of components and materials, and superb craftsmanship culminate in a range of boats of unquestionable splendour. This hand-built resplendence complemented by practicality, makes the Squadron the choice of the owner who instinctively appreciates outer beauty with inner strength - the true connoisseur.
Fairline Squadron 55 - Brochure Foreword
The Fairline marque was born of one man's passion and vision, his labour of love combining the utmost professionalism with an intuitive understanding of a boater's needs. From the beginning, Fairline's designers and craftsmen, dealers and directors, have shared their fellow mariners' commitment to the very highest standards of handcrafted excellence.
Boating came late to Jack Newington. An entrepreneur approaching retirement age, he acquired a converted lifeboat to pursue his hobby of river cruising and, lacking a local mooring, took the bold step of creating one himself.
In 1963, he bought a cluster of disused gravel pits close to the River Nene and transformed them into Oundle Marina. So skilled at fit-outs and redesign were his small yet dedicated team that customers began to request a complete build.
And so in 1967 the first ever Fairline was launched, a 19' river cruiser embodying the hand-crafted quality, functionality and innovation now a constant of the marque. The Deluxe and her twin sister, Weekender, exploited the early GRP technology, putting the young company in the forefront of the moulding revolution.
In 1971 Jack retired and bequeathed the company to his son, Sam. The former fighter pilot and Columbia MBA combined his father's love of all things marine with a knowledge of modern business practice. In his first year he not only doubled the Fairline range but also turned a profit for the first time in the company's history. Understanding the owner's need to progress from boat to boat, and the business imperative for Fairline to develop its international potential, Sam established a European network of dedicated dealers.
Many fondly remember the ground-breaking Phantom of 1974 and, though most owners have naturally traded up, at least one skipper still keeps his original at her Mediterranean mooring. Success was such that by 1979 Sam Newington's staff of 14 had increased more than tenfold and turnover had soared to £5 million.
It was in this year too that Sam Newington's wife, Briony, joined the Fairline team. To their understanding of engineering and performance, she added the woman's touch. Fabric choice for interiors was vastly expanded, spatial planning refined and galleys further improved.
Now part-time, Briony remains a valued member of the Fairline staff.
Throughout the 1980s the company's growth continued, with new sites opened up in Weldon and the Nene Valley, and the first Targa introduced in 1985. And with the launch of the Squadron 62 in 1991, Fairline's first ever super-yacht, the marque entered an entirely new league.
In March 1996 Sam Newington retired from executive responsibility and was replaced by his successor Derek Carter. Although immediately impressed by the passion and pride of the workforce, Derek instigated a new management structure, delegating greater responsibility to effect quicker, streamlined decision-making.
He also gave the young design team a new found freedom by positively encouraging them to take the initiative in an area traditionally lead by Sam Newington.
This professional approach has built on solid foundations providing focus, direction and an efficient operation with shared vision. Increased profitability secured the future of Fairline and created the platform on which to realise the vision. Now, with the entire team behind Derek, the world was indeed Fairline's oyster. By 1998, in support of Fairline's export markets, a network of some 35 overseas dealers represented the company world-wide. His focus on strong dealerships has afforded a more cohesive structure to maintain the high standards of service set by Fairline representatives in the UK and throughout Europe.
In the same year Fairline established a US subsidiary company and American sales office, Fairline Boats of North America Inc. Providing a higher standard of customer service for this highly competitive market has resulted in unprecedented sales growth.
More recently the success of the Fairline brand and the intimate relationship with its customers has prompted Fairline to ernbark on two of the most ambitious projects in its history: the construction of Nene Valley II, now complete and fully operational and the addition of a 74 foot Squadron to the range, launching September 2002.
Outer Beauty with Inner Strength
In a world where British boat designers lead in innovation and style, Fairline's in-house Design, Engineering and Product Development department is exemplary. Remaining true to the concept of More than Skin Deep, form is carefully balanced with function to create exceptional boats, where outer beauty is reinforced by inner strength. With the exception of the hull, which is designed by the renowned naval architect Bernard Olensinski, every aspect is conceived in-house and continually refined and redefined to further enhance the Fairline experience.
Making a significant contribution to the department's extensive knowledge and combined experience are those members of the team previously involved in the production process. Their genuine understanding of post-design practicalities (what actually happens on the factory floor) facilitates practicable solutions rather than flights of fancy. This complements the influx of new blood recruited primarily from Coventry University who have a reputation for excellence in marine industrial design and whose students continue to prove their worth.
Unlike the design-by-committee methods common in the automotive industry, passion replaces committees in driving decisions, which prevents the dilution of ideas and helps to maintain focus.
Effective design demands a very close relationship with both dealers and Fairline owners alike. International boat rallies provide the perfect opportunity for Fairline designers to stay onboard customers' boats allowing a direct insight of the ownership experience. Design issues can be highlighted, recommendations made and solutions developed to improve current models and incorporate best-practice in all future models.
Recent improvements made directly as a consequence of these liaisons include a raft of changes to dashboard and instrumentation layouts. The darkening of materials reduces glare and the separation of switch functions controlling compass & gauge illumination, enables the skipper to retain his night vision.
The practicality of Fairline boats is apparent, right down to the tiniest, yet important details; from the red night lights at lower helm, self-parking wipers and fixed crockery stowage to the push-flush, antirattle door locks fitted throughout. Waterproof external sockets for appliances such as air pumps for dinghy inflation are now fitted as standard in the cockpit, and as of the 2002 model year, the fitting of through-hull generator exhausts (silent exhausts) were also made standard. This was brought about after a designer was made aware of water continually draining out of the hullsides from the water cooled generators creating a distracting noise whenever the boat was moored or at anchor.
Conveniently positioned features such as overhead handrails, address the practical demands onboard, which independently may seem insignificant but combined make life considerably easier. Naturally, as with all Fairline boats, adequate room and easy access is always paramount, particularly for servicing, repairs or safety checks.
Every element is crucial to the success of the boat and key to customer satisfaction. The design department's ingenuity lies in refining and incorporating these elements and marrying them with Fairline's unique styling to ensure our fabled integrity is maintained.Our Craft Builds Your Pride.
There is a depth and integrity within Fairline, which is uncommon within the boating world. We create boats with qualities that are More Than Skin Deep, boats with substance, a handcrafted inner strength that reinforces their outer beauty. We like to think this is what makes Fairline so unique.
A magic that one experiences on boarding, but is difficult to isolate as a single factor. In fact, it's a culmination of virtues; the unrivalled craftsmanship, the best quality components and materials, and of course, the superb ingenuity of design.
Our Craft Builds Your Pride
There is a depth and integrity within Fairline, which is uncommon within the boating world. We create boats with qualities that are More Than Skin Deep, boats with substance, a handcrafted inner strength that reinforces their outer beauty. We like to think this is what makes Fairline so unique.
A magic that one experiences on boarding, but is difficult to isolate as a single factor. In fact, it's a culmination of virtues; the unrivalled craftsmanship, the best quality components and materials, and of course, the superb ingenuity of design.
For some boat manufacturers it is common practice to fill the discrepancy between bulkhead and hull with silicon. Fairline adopt best practice; timber inserts are individually carved, lacquered and polished to blend where the two surfaces meet. We also take great care to conceal any screw heads, fixtures or fittings on doorframes and cabinetry, making it more pleasing to the eye.
Another factor well accounted for is regular maintenance. Engines are first sat on their rubber mountings in a cradle and left to absorb their weight before installation. This 'settling-iii, eliminates the majority of movement and the need for realignment once the engines are fitted, which in turn means less inconvenience for the owners down the line. Easy engine bay access is a prime concern for boat owners and consequently is incorporated into the design criteria on all Fairlines.
Further attention to detail is exhibited by the carefully grain-matched cabinetwork. The continuous flow of grain across doors, joints, bulkheads, drawers and cabinets generates a seamless beauty.
Our pride is further mirrored in the multi-lacquered and polished surfaces of the exotic woods employed. Up to eight coats of lacquer are individually applied which, as well as being UN. stable, are designed to withstand extreme changes in temperature requiring an extraordinary coefficient of expansion.
Benefiting from a wealth of experience, we understand a boat is only as strong as the sum of its parts. By reinforcing outer beauty with inner strength we build boats with integrity. In light of our immutable commitment to excellence, Fairline were the first British boat manufacturer to receive a BS5750/IS09001 quality accreditation. Further endorsement of our More Than Skin Deep reputation - also acknowledged by the true connoisseur.
Investing in the Future
Nene Valley II, the new 45,000 square foot production facility exemplifies Fairline's continuing commitment to upholding the very highest standards.
In addition to satisfying the demands of our burgeoning market without compromising excellence, the factory includes a production line dedicated to prototyping new models allowing a far greater level of accuracy in the embryonic stages of design and development.
Even with the benefit of the very latest CAD computer technology complete with `virtual tours', the ambience, ergonomics and functionality of a concept boat is difficult to determine.
We enable these aspects to be experienced `in the flesh', initially through the construction of a full-size mock-up of the interior on which refinements can be made, before progressing to the prototype boat.
Fairline's investment in this prototyping process means we can disassemble and reassemble, test, assess and modify both the design and the manufacturing processes accordingly to maximise efficiency.
Furthermore, the prototyping line provides a controlled environment for the team to hone their production techniques and improve upon quality even further.
The final boat is eventually taken through its paces during intensive sea trials in which all of the team involved in the project, including designers, engineers, craftsmen and crew, can spend `quality time' aboard experiencing and further refining the results of their work to date. This gives the team a valuable insight into the owner's experience and an appreciation of the, often subtle, improvements necessary to achieve excellence. In total, this process will take around 18 months before the first boat is put into final production; as with the Squadron 58, the first Fairline boat to be developed using this exceptionally rigorous approach.
Quality Assured
As anyone familiar with Fairline's obsession with quality and attention to detail would expect, every boat produced is submitted to the most stringent quality assurance checks before being despatched to their owners.
Throughout the manufacturing process every critical action is accounted for and signed off in a production report by the specialist concerned and then endorsed after inspection by the section leader responsible.
Once a boat is fitted out below deck with the major components such as water and fuel tanks, engines and generators, it is then `topped' by the deck, removed from the production line and craned into a water tank to ensure all functional systems are fully operational and seals are watertight.
Just prior to completion comes the 'pre-snagging' stage, where the boat is `red tagged' during an in-line cosmetic inspection by the production team and any faults then rectified.
Next, the Quality Control Team inspect independently for any cosmetic defects. Over 2000 checks are conducted, although this figure is increasing as the boats become ever more sophisticated. On average, a visual inspection for a Targa 34 would take around six or seven hours, while a Squadron 58 could take anything up to 30 hours - and even more on the new Squadron 74.
Cosmetic inspections are rigorous. If a half millimetre scratch on a stainless steel work surface is detected it would have to be rectified or replaced. And even the interior of cabinetry doesn't escape examination.
Once passed and signed off by QC, test engineers carry out the `End of Line' test where, to simulate operation under exceptional circumstances, functional systems are run simultaneously and tested to predetermined Iii-nits.
Finally, a walk through inspection is conducted and the `Loose Items' checklist completed so that components such as remote controls, fenders and warping lines are onboard before delivery.
All information pertaining to the build of the boat is then compiled as a comprehensive record and archived along with the records of every Fairline produced. Details not only include the procedures; the date they were performed and who carried them out, but also batch and component serial numbers so information can be passed onto suppliers should there be a recall.
Despite meeting the stringent ISO 9001/2000 criteria, Fairline continue to tighten quality control procedures. This has proved extremely successful, with production teams reducing faults to an absolute minimum.
Naturally, Fairline's objective is perfection. And through continued high investment and the obsession of the Fairline team, we believe we will succeed.
Network of Integrity
Fairline's forte lies in designing and building boats, but for our customers it is essential that their boats are looked after locally, so we have established a cohesive and reliable international dealership network.
We do not own our dealerships, as that would divert our focus from what we do best. Nor do we sell directly to boat owners, which would undermine the strength of our dealerships, and in turn the `Fairline experience'.
Our dealers arc selected as representatives of Fairline, having built solid reputations of their own. Together we ensure consistent standards across the entire network. More than just service professionals, Fairlinc dealers are there to enhance every aspect of boating by offering the benefit of their experience and intimate knowledge. Our dealers' expertise helps to maximise the enjoyment our customers gain from their boats, providing the same high level of service and after sales care to both novice and experienced boaters alike. The commitment and integrity with which they approach their responsibilities continues to reinforce our reputation as a company that strives to be more than skin deep.
As a profitable and financially sound company, Fairline is maintained by steady investment and funded by earnings not borrowings. This providence is a virtue shared by our dealers as well as many astute Fairline owners who, successful in their own right, recognise and appreciate the stable residual values we have achieved. Fairline always have, and will continue to, design and build modern classics, creating boats that retain their relevance and style many years after their maiden voyage. The enduring quality and integrity of these handcrafted boats is reflected in a very buoyant brokerage market, making it easier for our owners to trade up. Fairline think long-term, which demands foresight and calls for solid relationships, from suppliers through to dealers and customers. We believe long-term relationships with mutual benefits provide long-term satisfaction for all concerned.
Furthering our hard-earned reputation for being more than skin deep, behind our dealerships lies the depth of integrity essential for any ambassador of Fairline.
This Squadron created quite a stir when she was first launched. The reaction to so much power, luxury and spaciousness accommodated by a 55 ft craft verged on the incredulous. This, combined with her beautifully proportioned curves and sophistication, makes her the successful entry point for Squadron ownership, with over one hundred and twenty sold to date.
Staying true to the Squadron concept, she embodies all the refinements imaginable to satisfy her purpose as a vehicle for pleasure and relaxation. Eminently sociable, the new flybridge layout is invariably the heart of the party. A J-shaped upholstered settee, to aft, arches around the table unit. Conveniently located behind the helm seat is the barbecue griddle, fridge and sink with hot/cold water, ensuring the temptation for a spontaneous soiree is never far away.
For user-friendly, long-distance cruising in the lap of luxury, the Squadron 55 offers the perfect antidote to the stresses of everyday life.
Providing the perfect vantage point to observe the world unfurling is the centrally-positioned upper helm and twin co-pilot's seats. Convenient saloon access is gained courtesy of an adjacent glazed hatch.
Behind the lower helm, the splendidly designed, timber-floored galley contains ample storage in the grain-matched, wooden cupboards and drawers, facilitated by its spatially efficient layout. Stainless steel grabrails run the length of the high quality work surface to steady the chef at sea.
All the classic Squadron hallmarks are present. Fairline's superb craftsmanship is literally reflected in the lacquered wood bulkheads, painstakingly polished to glorious effect. Attention to detail is displayed in the meticulously hand-laid wood inlays where the bulkhead is butted, instead of the usual black silicon, de rigeur in lesser boats. There is a simply enormous semicircular settee with stowage beneath, around a cocktail table, complemented by a lacquered wood sideboard, complete with bar unit.
Laid out in the classic Fairline style, the large master double bedroom is lavishly furnished, including upholstered headboard and twin wardrobes with interior lights. Fine lacquered wood abounds, from the bed surround to the timber inlays on the ceiling panels. Naturally, the master would not be complete without en suite facilities, with a separate circular shower compartment.
On all Fairline boats, joinery is of a concealed construction with hidden fixings to keep all highly polished surfaces uniform and flawless. All cabinet latches are push-flush incorporating anti-rattle door locks.
Attached to the galley is the utility room with washer/drier, freezer, ironing board and also primary access to the engine room, making routine maintenance more straightforward. Even helming the boat has been made easier by virtue of the door portside to deck, between saloon and dinette.
Shaded by the flybridge overhang is the roomy cockpit with all-teak floor and weatherproof settee. Two transom gates lead out onto the bathing platform. On either side, steps lead to the side decks, cradled by reassuringly high rails, making a jaunt to the coachroof sunbed all the more secure. Crossing the threshold of the sweeping, curved, stainless steel framed saloon doors, the sense of space, accentuated by the high headroom and curvaceous nature of the interior, is astounding.

Naturally, Fairline's objective is perfection. And through continued high investment and the obsession of the Fairline team, we believe we will succeed.
Network of Integrity
Fairline's forte lies in designing and building boats, but for our customers it is essential that their boats are looked after locally, so we have established a cohesive and reliable international dealership network.
We do not own our dealerships, as that would divert our focus from what we do best. Nor do we sell directly to boat owners, which would undermine the strength of our dealerships, and in turn the `Fairline experience'.
Our dealers arc selected as representatives of Fairline, having built solid reputations of their own. Together we ensure consistent standards across the entire network. More than just service professionals, Fairlinc dealers are there to enhance every aspect of boating by offering the benefit of their experience and intimate knowledge. Our dealers' expertise helps to maximise the enjoyment our customers gain from their boats, providing the same high level of service and after sales care to both novice and experienced boaters alike. The commitment and integrity with which they approach their responsibilities continues to reinforce our reputation as a company that strives to be more than skin deep.
As a profitable and financially sound company, Fairline is maintained by steady investment and funded by earnings not borrowings. This providence is a virtue shared by our dealers as well as many astute Fairline owners who, successful in their own right, recognise and appreciate the stable residual values we have achieved. Fairline always have, and will continue to, design and build modern classics, creating boats that retain their relevance and style many years after their maiden voyage. The enduring quality and integrity of these handcrafted boats is reflected in a very buoyant brokerage market, making it easier for our owners to trade up. Fairline think long-term, which demands foresight and calls for solid relationships, from suppliers through to dealers and customers. We believe long-term relationships with mutual benefits provide long-term satisfaction for all concerned.
Furthering our hard-earned reputation for being more than skin deep, behind our dealerships lies the depth of integrity essential for any ambassador of Fairline.

Hullform & Construction
Designed by Bernard Olesinski and the Fairline Design Team, the hull has a very deep 'V' forward with 18' deadrise aft giving a soft entry into head seas and very easy planing
The isophthalic gelcoat used in construction is backed by an isophthalic resin-rich powder-bound glass mat to prevent any risk of osmosis developing
All gelcoat and glassfibre is laid up by hand, incorporating chopped strand glass mat and unidirectional and woven rovings
Full length moulded spray deflectors are rounded to give a dry ride and exceptional directional stability in adverse conditions
The integral bathing platform gives the boat a longer waterline length for improved performance, particularly at reduced power settings
Engine bearers are moulded into the hull
The propellers are set in semi-tunnels enabling the engines to be located further aft, also reducing draught and improving efficiency by reducing the shaft angle
The hull to deck joint is both bonded and through-bolted
The deck incorporates polyurethane foam cores for high strength and excellent thermal insulation
An 8 hp bowthruster is fitted with controls at both helm positions
