My favourite show of the year is just around the corner and it promises to be a particularly interesting one this year.
Held from Friday 19th May until Sunday 21st May at Swanwick marina on the Hamble this is when Princess, Sunseeker and Fairline get together to put on a small but highly concentrated boutique motorboat show. No massive queues, no sales prevention officers stopping you looking at the boats and usually a few familiar faces. This time last year we were able to freely wander round the new 95 Yacht from Sunseeker, a far cry from the hoards and the queues at Southampton. This is a show for boaters rather than a general day out. There will also be some ancillary exhibitors such as Landau showing boating toys and general equipment.
I'm hoping this will be the first time we get to see the all new Fairline Squadron 52 in the UK. Sunseeker's Manhattan 52 ought to be there as well.
Princess are presenting the new P62 flybridge and they will also have the smallest of the S class boats, the S60 making her on water debut. It's middle sister the S65 might be there as well. The V48 & 58 deck should be there. Project 31 will also be on display, the last time I saw her was 7,000 miles away in Singapore almost exactly a year ago.
Exact line ups tend to be a bit fluid as it depends on production and also dealer stock levels but there is always something to see and a good chance to have a forum drink possibly ?
