2014 Fairline Squadron 65

Step aboard and discover a galley designed for gourmet ease, where an Avonite® work surface with covers anchors a suite of premium appliances and thoughtful details. A combination oven/microwave/grill pairs with an electric induction hob and an efficient extractor fan, while twin sinks with a hot and cold mixer tap streamline prep and cleanup. A refrigerator and freezer partner with stowage cupboards and drawers, dedicated crockery stowage, and timber cupboard doors to keep essentials perfectly organized. Illumination is beautifully balanced by LED ceiling lights and focused work surface lights, complemented by a powerdrop window for natural ventilation and a random teak floor that brings tactile warmth underfoot. Safety and sophistication sit side by side with a FAIRLINE EDITION china dinner service and cutlery set, plus a fire extinguisher and first aid kit, all discreetly to hand, and an integrated waste bin completes the seamless functionality.

Within Accommodations, the Saloon becomes the social heart, where a 32" TV with BOSE® 321 system and Apple dock rises on a power lift TV feature to transform the space at a touch. Drinks cabinets, complete with six ‘Squadron’ engraved lead crystal tumblers, and a refined sideboard frame an elegant sofa with storage lockers. Gold bullion venetian blinds temper the light, an overhead handrail adds safe movement, LED ceiling lights set the mood, and a sliding door flows effortlessly out to the cockpit to merge indoors with open air. The Master Stateroom is a haven of privacy and poise with a 32" TV featuring a Video iBoat dock, a double bed with an interior sprung mattress and drawers beneath, and an upholstered bedhead anchored by twin bedside tables. Feature windows with opening portholes, full-height standing headroom, a full-length mirror, and a vanity unit/bureau with chair amplify comfort, while a wardrobe with cedar linings and a full set of Heirlooms fine bed linen (includes pillows and duvet), gold bullion venetian blinds, LED ceiling lights, and reading lights fulfill every refined expectation. The Master En‑Suite is crafted in Avonite® with a vanity unit and locker and twin basins delivering hot and cold pressurised water, a full standing height shower with a hinged door, and an electric silent-flush freshwater toilet. Everyday ease is assured by a 220V/240V shaving point, an automatic shower tray pump‑out system, an extractor fan, feature windows with opening portholes, and a full set of bathroom fittings. A glass partition with timber venetian blinds matches the bulkheads with exquisite harmony, while gold bullion venetian blinds, LED ceiling lights, overhead lockers, a mirror, a random teak floor, a towel rail, and a ready towel set round off the suite’s serene utility. The Forward Stateroom echoes the same calm assurance with a double bed on an interior sprung mattress, bedside stowage, a wardrobe or wardrobes as needed, and an upholstered bedhead. Feature windows with opening portholes, full-height standing headroom, a full-length mirror, a large hatch with fly-screen and concealed blinds to the foredeck, a skylight with electric blinds, LED ceiling lights, and reading lights shape the light to perfection, and the full set of Heirlooms fine bed linen (includes pillows and duvet) completes the welcome. The Starboard Guest Cabin offers two full length berths with high-comfort interior sprung mattresses, bedside stowage, drawers under the bed, a hanging locker with mirror, mid-level lockers, a wardrobe with cedar linings, and feature windows with an opening porthole. A full-length mirror, LED ceiling lights, reading lights, gold bullion venetian blinds, and a full set of Heirlooms fine bed linen (includes pillows and duvet) deliver the signature Squadron polish. The Port Guest Cabin presents two full length bunks with high-comfort interior sprung mattresses, a wardrobe with cedar linings, a full-length mirror, LED ceiling lights, reading lights, an opening porthole, gold bullion venetian blinds, and a full set of Heirlooms fine bed linen (includes pillows and duvet), ensuring every guest is settled in style.

The Electrical architecture underpins quiet confidence and effortless control with dimmer switches, a fire shutdown system, heavy duty circuit breakers, and isolating switches to all batteries. Twin powerplants stand ready with an Onan generator 22.5kW and a Phasor generator 15.5Kw, while the 12 Volt domain is served by a voltage dropper from domestic batteries. The 24 Volt suite provides two heavy duty batteries exclusively for port engine starting and two exclusively for starboard engine starting, alongside four heavy duty batteries wired in a parallel supply for domestic services and port engine starting; an emergency battery coupling system prudently permits each engine to start from the opposite battery bank. The 240 Volt grid adds a polarity check and earth leakage protection system, power points throughout the boat fed from shore power or generator, a regulated 75amp charger for domestic batteries, a dependable shore power supply, and spare circuit breakers for optional equipment.

From the Helm, command flows naturally through an adjustable/tilt steering wheel, powered steering, and twin independent helm and co‑pilot seats. Precision instrumentation and awareness are complete: a high speed magnetic compass, fuel gauges, and full engine instrumentation including tachometers, oil pressure gauges, temperature gauges, battery condition indicators, audible alarms, and engine hour meters, supported by a helm position indicator and red night‑light illumination to helm. Seamless navigation and communication arrive via a Garmin GHP 10 autopilot system with colour display, a Garmin GMI 10 digital multi‑function instrument system with colour display, a Garmin GMR 404 Open Array Radar (4ft, 4kW), a Garmin GPS 17x Antenn, a Garmin GPS map 4012 (12") Display, and a Garmin VHF 300i marine radio. Side Power Bow and Stern Thruster controls, remote anchor winch controls, searchlight controls, a foghorn with siren and loudhailer facility, trim tab controls, electronic single‑lever throttle and gear controls for port and starboard engines, and a chart table with light ensure poised handling in all conditions. Practical touches abound with a 12V socket, access to deck via a side door, drinks holders, seat base stowage, mood lighting, a random teak floor, bilge pump switches with integral operating warning lights and audible alarms, and controls for the engine bay fire extinguisher system.

Beneath, the Engines domain is engineered for reliability and serviceability with access through a cockpit hatch, aerodynamically designed engine air intakes, electric engine bay fan(s), and engine bay lights within comprehensive engine room soundproofing. Safety systems include automatic bilge pumps for the forward bilge, engine bay and rudder bay with manual ‘on’ override, an automatic engine bay fire extinguisher system with warnings at both helms, an exhaust overheat warning system, and a high capacity emergency manual bilge pump system with changeover valves. Performance hardware features a bow thruster, electric trim tabs with cathodic protection, high corrosion‑resistant TEMET shafts, manganese bronze ‘P’ brackets, and contra‑rotating manganese bronze propellers, with dripless shaft seals and sea cocks on all inlets/outlets below the waterline. Water cooled engine exhausts exit cleanly through hull outlets for enduring efficiency.

Life on the Flybridge unfolds with an expanse made for indulgence and control alike. The helm offers an adjustable/tilt steering wheel, adjustable bolstered helm seating, companion seating, powered steering, trim tab controls, bow thruster controls, a high speed magnetic compass, a helm position indicator, echo‑sounder and speedometer/distance log repeater with sea water temperature readout, electronic single‑lever throttle and gear controls for both engines, repeat flybridge engine instrumentation, controls and electronics, repeat autopilot controls, a VHF radio incorporating intercom, and a remote control searchlight with controls at both helm stations. Entertainment and relaxation are assured by day beds and a chaise longue on port and starboard with adjustable backrests, a large sunbathing area forward of the helm with non‑absorbent foam‑filled cushions, an MP3 connector with a 100w amplifier, and waterproof speakers. Dedicated dining seating with a large teak table sits alongside a flybridge bar with refrigerator, ice‑maker, sink, and electric griddle. The space is completed by drinks holders, furniture covers, instrument covers, a radar arch/mast, a moulded non‑slip deck surface, stainless steel handrails, a storage unit housing a waste bin, a 12V heavy duty weatherproof socket, a flybridge access hatch, and teak laid oversize flybridge steps. Entertain with confidence using the FAIRLINE EDITION durable dinner service—ideal for outdoor use—in white melamine with the Fairline Shield (24‑piece, 6 place settings), and FAIRLINE EDITION durable tumblers produced in shatter‑proof polycarbonate with the Fairline Shield (set of 6), while remote anchor winch controls keep stationing effortless and wind‑deflecting screen with a grab rail maintains comfort underway.

The Aft Cockpit extends the living deck with a three stage opening aft door and teak laid floor throughout the self‑draining cockpit, cooled by blue LED lighting and brightened by white cockpit overhead lights. Practicality is assured by a 12V heavy duty weatherproof socket, an access hatch to the engine room and lazarette, an access hatch to the optional aft crew cabin, aft cockpit enclosure covers, bathing platform lights, and a flybridge access hatch. Seamanship details include life raft stowage, manual bilge pump(s), mooring warps, warp lockers, an overhead handrail, a teak table with two folding chairs, and a handy boat hook—everything ready for departure at a moment’s notice.

Forward, the Deck is trimmed for real cruising: an anchor chain locker, anchor winch controls, calibrated anchor chain, and a self‑stowing Delta® anchor make light work of ground tackle. A full set of IMCO navigation lights, a riding light, twin horns, windscreen washers, and external covers to the windscreen elevate safety and clarity, while deck wash outlets keep everything shipshape. Comfort is just as considered with a hot and cold water transom shower, a recessed self‑draining area on the foredeck for coachroof sun cushions with ‘reticulated’ non‑absorbent foam cushions for the forward sundeck, a rigid swim ladder to the bathing platform, a starboard side access door, and a transom gate from cockpit to the hi/lo bathing platform. The moulded non‑slip deck surface, stainless steel bow, spring and stern cleats, stainless steel bow fairleads, stainless steel grab rails on each transom wing, stainless steel handrails, a stainless steel pulpit, a rubbing strake, a teak laid bathing platform, and water fillers ensure enduring function and finish.

Beneath the beauty, the Hullform and Construction deliver the signature Fairline ride. All gel coat and glass fibre are hand laid with unidirectional, biaxial and woven rovings, backed by isophthalic gel coat over an isophthalic resin‑rich powder‑bound glass mat. The deep ‘V’ forward with 18° dead‑rise aft slices cleanly, tempered by full length moulded spray deflectors and transverse frames with longitudinal stringers throughout the hull. The deck incorporates polyurethane foam cores for high strength and excellent thermal insulation, with thermal insulation to the forward cabin and upper deck roof space. The hull/deck join is both bolted and bonded, with integrally moulded engine bearers and the propellers set in semi‑tunnels enabling the engines to be located further aft—reducing draught and improving efficiency by reducing the shaft angle. Antifouling protection to hull, a hydraulic hi/lo bathing platform for tender launching and recovery, a bow thruster, a holding tank or tanks with electric pump, and a fire extinguisher complete the design and detailing by the Fairline Design Team, with naval architecture and structural engineering by Bernard Olesinski.

Feature windows with opening portholes, full-height standing headroom, a full length mirror, a vanity unit/bureau with chair, and a wardrobe with cedar linings complement the full set of Heirlooms fine bed linen (includes pillows and duvet), gold bullion venetian blinds, LED ceiling lights, and reading lights.

Sea Change’s Electrical system is robust, refined, and redundant: dimmer switches, a fire shutdown system, heavy duty circuit breakers, and isolating switches to all batteries form the core, supported by an Onan generator 22.5kW and a Phasor generator 15.5Kw. The 12 Volt system employs a voltage dropper from domestic batteries; the 24 Volt suite provides two heavy duty batteries exclusively for port engine starting, two for starboard engine starting, and four heavy duty batteries wired in parallel to supply domestic services and port engine starting, with an emergency battery coupling system permitting each engine to start from the opposite battery bank.

Side Power Bow and Stern Thruster controls, remote anchor winch controls, searchlight controls, a foghorn with siren and loudhailer facility, trim tab controls, electronic single‑lever throttle and gear controls for port and starboard engines, and a chart table and light foster poised, confident handling. Conveniences like a 12V socket, a side door to deck, drinks holders, seat base stowage, mood lighting, a random teak floor, bilge pump switches with integral operating warning lights and audible alarms, and controls for the engine bay fire extinguisher system complete the command center.

Mechanical systems are conceived for durability and quiet strength. Engines sit behind a cockpit hatch with aerodynamically designed air intakes, electric engine bay fan(s), engine bay lights, and comprehensive engine room soundproofing. Automatic bilge pumps serve the forward bilge, engine bay and rudder bay with manual ‘on’ override; an automatic engine bay fire extinguisher system signals at both helms; an exhaust overheat warning system and a high capacity emergency manual bilge pump system with changeover valves stand ready. Performance hardware includes a bow thruster, electric trim tabs with cathodic protection, high corrosion‑resistant TEMET shafts, manganese bronze ‘P’ brackets, and manganese bronze propellers in contra‑rotation, supported by dripless shaft seals and sea cocks on all inlets/outlets below the waterline.
