Cannes Boat Show

[Den100]

looking forward to going to the Cannes show next week, have been the last two years and really enjoyed it great weather, loads of boats you never see in the UK plus the all the other bits to admire, usually two legged !!

Anyone else going?

 

[Portofino]

I,ll be there on my boat La Nap ( for the next 2 wks ) , but can not pin down a day when we will visit the show.
Will prob go if bad weather -wind etc .

 

[Sapphire Aberdeen]

Yeah, misses and I will be there. Looking forward to it. Sun deck for cocktails!

 

[PowerYachtBlog]

Cannes is the best boat show in Europe in my book at the moment, even superior to Genova due to its lack lusturing in the last years.

Yes many nice builders present....

we'll be around the coming 3 weeks, don't know yet from when,
do you think there is space for Blue Angel (22m) in la nap for a night or so ?
should I call the port, or do you have a good connection ?
don't hesitate to come along when you see us,
next week, just MapisM + S and myself onboard.
seems tough to get a berth in PV, so might be anker quite a few nights

Bart --- PV has had berths every night recently -- they just dont call availability until very late, just register for a 23x6m asap.

We'll be there most if not every day --- looking at boats.

 

[BartW]

does anybody know if you can enter to the show with a 4m tender ?

we have just arrived in the bay near Theoule, and will stay here on anker for the night,
for tomorrow, perhaps visit the show,
and try to get a berth in PV for tomorrow night

Oi folks, what's happening to this forum?
Can't believe that after a couple of hours nobody answered yet Bart's question with plenty of details and suggestions...
C'mon, tell us, what should we do?
We also considered a nice morning swim from Theoule to Cannes early tomorrow, but we fear that we might not be taken seriously, if we would ask to see a superyacht while dressed with a wetsuit...

I'm at the airport waiting to go Nice as I tap this. Will be meeting a new Arab client in Cannes in the morning to help him buy a new 45m MY. Have always gone to the MYS rather than Cannes so I'm looking forward to the change. This is what I do to fund re-engining my tub www.matrixlloyd.com. Happy days!

Options:
1) rib as discussed. Just wait for bridge to open. Calmly tie up at end of someone's pontoon. A bit 2011 (lol)
2) wet suit is novel. Remove all clothing for SY VIEWING. it works for super models so why not you?

Problem with both above. Look out of window. A touch windy. !

3) train. They are working tomorrow and you can join in generous Hospitality!!

By implication does this mean there have been strikes recently?

Pah, these folks in the Côte d'Azur know nothing about real Mistral, this is just a gentle breeze.
It's when it blows from the Golfe du Lion all the way to Sardinia, with 300+ nm of fetch, that things become hairy.
The house below is of a friend of mine, and the pillar on the terrace is 2m high, if you see what I mean...
