LOA 32ft 9in (9.99m) BEAM 11ft 6in (3.5m) ENGINES Twin Volvo diesel 220hp or petrol up to 430hp TOP SPEED 45 knots PRICE FROM £314,000 inc VAT

The Brits will be starting things off with a bang at Cannes 2019 with both Fairline and Sunseeker launching two of the most exciting boats they’ve built in a couple of decades.

The F-line F33 has taken the longest to come to fruition but it certainly seems to have been worth the wait. Admittedly, we have only seen renderings but if Alberto Mancini’s muscular design is anything like them in the flesh, it is going to be special.

The same can be said for performanc­e because the highest rated twin Volvo Penta 430hp V8s are expected to hit 45 knots, though there is a twin 220hp diesel option available.

The clever main deck includes a dinette that converts into a sunpad and a transom that folds down to create the bathing platform. Below there’s space for a convertibl­e dinette, bathroom and double cabin amidships. We can’t wait to see it.
