The Haines Group is launching the first boat in its New Generation Signature series at the Sydney Boat Show.
Almost 30 years after the Signature series boats were first unveiled; the 575RF is the first completely new boat launched since the passing of company founder, John Haines Senior, in 2009.
The Haines Group says it prides itself on the ability to tailor products to individual specifications and have hit the mark this time with a new design which meets the needs of the most serious anglers through a dramatic evolution of the Signature Variable Deadrise Hull.
Commenting on the model’s design highlights, John Haines, CEO of The Haines Group, said: "We feel we have achieved the perfect combination of performance through the water under power and stability at rest, developing arguably the most stable fishing platform ever."
"Not only does the 575RF boast the most stable platform but also the largest for its size, while still remaining comfortably within legal towing limits."
The 575RF features a full one-piece lining in construction, which Haines says strengthens the hull by up to 30 per cent, making it one of the toughest fibreglass boats on the market.
The new-design hull also delivers one of the softest rides in the category due to the fiberglass construction, while the completely integrated Full Nexus Liner means keeping the deck clean is easy.
The New Generation Signature series is a fresh approach to design, manufacture and business led by John Haines, son of John Haines Senior.
Exciting times are approaching at The Haines Group as design input is sought from outside the company for the first time.
Collaboration is already underway with celebrity angler, Paul Worsteling, in the design of a range of New Generation Signature boats to be launched in the first half of 2013.
Mr Worsteling is actively working with The Haines Group to ensure the new designs adequately cater for the needs of the modern angler. The first boat int he range will be a 6.5m offshore fishing boat.
The New Generation Signature 575RF can be seen at the Sydney Boat Show, Darling Harbour until August 6.
