Overview
With her mini-megayacht styling, the 52 Squadron was a very innovative
design and a notable departure from Fairline’s previous reliance on
conventional Euro-style designs. For openers, the interior layout is
completely novel: the owner’s cabin, with its huge berth, en suite head,
and laundry room, surpasses anything seen in a sedan-style motor yacht
of this type. It’s notable that Fairline chose to go with a
two-stateroom floorplan in the 52; most boats this size have three. The
galley is down from the salon level and the dinette is up; at the
highest level is a well-executed centerline helm with a wraparound dash.
In the cockpit, a full-height utility locker to port houses various
master switches and fuel shutoff valves (agreat idea!), and the
Squadron’s oval flybridge design is a unique styling touch. Access to
the compact engine room—is through a hatch in the cockpit sole. (The
cockpit lazarette could be fitted out as crew quarters.) A good
performer with twin 600hp Cats cruise at 25 knots and deliver a top speed of about 30 knots.
