Faithful Wessex returns with new Targa 32
Wessex Marine marks its 15th year of non-stop Targa attendance at Seawork with the debut of the latest new Targa 32 model on its long-term berth number 1.
This craft, freshly off the drawing board last autumn, is expected prove as dominant for Police & Fast Patrol roles as it’s forerunner, the evergreen 31. It has already received plaudits from all quarters and continues the unique reputation of Targa being nominated every year since inception in the annual IPC industry awards. And, including the 32 this year, Targa has won three years out of the six so far.
The new 32 can be configured for any commercial role and compliance to MCA requirements or Nordic Workboat Standard can easily be specified within any bespoke inventory.
This year represents another milestone furthering Targa’s established commercial credibility in Police roles, with the supply of the 12th Targa to London’s Metropolitan Police.
Due to take a leading role in the capital’s policing over the Olympics this summer. the latest 37 supplied was customised to meet the exacting and demanding multiplicity of duties required of the Met’s leading Command Vessel. It will help form part of a ‘ring of steel’ around London policed by a fleet of Targas.
The Custom 37 was supplied against the toughest and most competitive tendering process. It gives Wessex Marine a leading edge in the market for proven Police & Fast Patrol craft delivered at the keenest production boat pricing whilst retaining the offer of custom specifications.
Commenting on Wessex Marine’s presence at every Seawork, the company’s David Adams said, “On preparing ‘as usual’ for Seawork 2012, we noted that this commemorates your 15th Year. A great achievement, especially considering that Seawork remains the most credible and long standing, dedicated commercial boat show in Europe.
“How have we been going every year and clocked up 21 years instead of 15!? You’ll probably know the answer already, that we put faith in the original Commercial Boat Show first started at Port Solent all that time ago and have been ever-present since. I could add that I wasn’t grey haired all that time ago but I probably was – the boat business can have that effect!
“We dare say a few of your other exhibitors have a similar allegiance and qualify for long service medals but there can’t be that many in the ever-changing and demanding business environment we all trade in today.
“This long participation is a subtle compliment to the credibility of Seawork to continue and expand in this key area of the marine trade.”
