PRESS REVIEW:

‘Apart from a clever layout, the Targa also offers plenty of sea kindly performance and fast passage-making potential, together with a stout build. As one interested party at a boat show commented, “All you have to do is add some imagination as to what you want to do and where you want to go”.’
