Fairline Hits 100 Mark,
Appoints Great Lakes Dealer
Fairline Yachts, a British luxury yacht manufacturer,
recently announced the sale of its 100th boat, a Targa
48 GT. It’s a signifi cant milestone for the company, which
re-launched its brand in January 2016. Fairline Yachts
sold the lucky 100th boat to its new Great Lakes dealer,
Spring Brook Marina, located in Illinois.
Spring Brook Marina will act as Fairline’s dealer for
the Great Lakes region and trade as Fairline Great
Lakes. The dealer plans on selling both new and
existing Fairline models, and will exhibit at a number
of U.S. boat shows, including Chicago, Michigan, Ohio,
Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
In the 16 months since its re-launch, Fairline has
introduced new models while refi ning old ones, improved
its international dealer network, signed partnerships and
attended boat shows around the world.

merged; Progressive Insurance Strictly Sail
Miami joins Progressive Insurance Miami
International Boat Show at the Miami Marine
Stadium on February 15-19, 2018.
The Strictly Sail show was previously held at
the Miamarina at Bayside during the same week
as the Miami Boat Show. The new, combined
show will bring nearly 100 sail boats to the
stadium’s deep-water basin. More than 700
boats are expected to be on display in the water,
according to the NMMA.
“The decision to combine these two iconic events is due
in large part to feedback from sail and power exhibitors
and attendees, for a single streamlined experience that
encompasses all our industry has to offer,” Ben Wold,
executive vice president of NMMA and show manager for
the Progressive Miami International Boat Show, said in a
statement. “We’ve built the ultimate boat show venue at
Miami Marine Stadium that’s ideal for both power and sail
so bringing these two shows together will without a doubt
deliver even more impressive results for the industry.”
