As I prepared for this interviewed I sat with my guest MIles Moorehouse, the man behind the Fairline Brand, in a room watching a 58 foot yacht sail past the window. The only thing was it wasn't sailing on a picturesque ocean of the English Coastline - in fact we were 200 miles inland at the Fairline Factory where the original owner set up shop.
Miles shares the journey of the Fairline Brand that is steeped in history and classic English storylines. As the original fibreglass boat builder, Jack Newington acquired an assortment of disused gravel pits by the River Nene, and the land between the main lake and the road. By cutting a route through from the lake to the river, and erecting workshops, offices, a chandlery shop and slipway, he transformed the area into Oundle Marina.
He spent his leisure days inadvertently showcasing the boat designs and launching the Fairline factory and, more recently, the brand have collaborated with the Italian yacht designer Alberto Mancini has resulted in a unique combination of contemporary style with a long-standing heritage.
Listen as Miles and I share a laugh and the elements of great design and some awesome stories about his career along the way.
Light, detail, volume and finesse, paired with the security of outstanding seakeeping. This is where understated elegance meets performance and adventure.
Please review our podcast, it makes the world of difference to those businesses and people we share the story of.
