FINERPOINTS
The Targa 63 GTO’s lines are sleek
yet unassuming. The sheer is gentle
from stem to stern, the freeboard is
high, and hullside windows are pro-
portionate in size and angle. Viewed
from the bow, the hull’s broadness
(that’s a 17-foot-2-inch beam) yields
serious interior acreage as seen
in her master stateroom to the
right. Fairline eff ectively balances
interior volume with good looks,
perform ance and seakeeping ability.
The fullness of the bow creates a
larger landing surface when coming
off waves. Lifting strakes get the
74,940-pound yacht up, and
wide chines add stability in
cornering and cross seas.
