Anyone else going to sibs tomorrow?

Thursday and Friday for us.
Enjoy the show and perhaps you might provide a bit of a report for those of us biting at the bit :)

We are looking at boats in the 40-45ft bracket and comfy upper saloon c/w closing doors to cockpit. Probably a Flybridge as hardtop sports cruisers which fit the bill seem rare.

At the risk of getting a bashing...

Are you going to look at/have you looked at the prestige 450....fly/sc are identical saloons. Enclosed and good owners cabin.
Not the same finish princess/sunseeker of course but not far off the new 48' fairlines and getting closer...

Sounds like you are going to be busy at the show, good luck and let us know when the deal is done! :)
 
Went today.

Know what boat I'm changing seabird for which quite frankly was a Eureka moment.

Went over everything i wanted to see, bought a few bits, saw a few people I knew but had never met.

A great day, roads busy getting out.

+1 - long day though. A little disappointed with the stalls in the halls, limited selection but I was looking for a specific item which I didn't find so probably not fully objective. However despite that a good day. Visited most of the Fairline boats and a smaller selection of Princess (good hospitality by both although note to Fairline - Princess gave loads of nibbles as well as the drinks, I'll not dwell :-)). Very impressed with the standard and layout of both manufacturers vessels.

Stalls? did you go to a jumble sale?
