London Boat Show - A short video

[Halcyon Yachts]

Here is a short video taken during the opening day of the boat show...

The show has had quite a lot of criticism. From my point of view it is always a great opportunity to meet with some clients and to see some of the new products and boats available. It's quite a special thing to have so many like minded people all in one room!

Thanks for posting. I'm planning to wander around tomorrow. They're not playing the porno video music in the hall, are they

Thanks, hope you have a good Show, Excel is off our radar now, tried a few of the early ones, prefer SIBS nowadays, esp as the Club rallies to Cowes and Redjets over. Even the Gothenberg show, small as it is, seems to have more atmosphere.
SWMBO has even been considering Dusseldorf for a winter show/weekend break.

I also prefer Southampton; especially when the sun is shining!

Do you think it would be better if the UK just had one Boatshow a year?

From the POV of UK boaters, probably, in which case SIBS would probably be the survivor, but may be stressed on international footfall by Hamburg's timing right behind it almost.

I think most serious European winter buyers of new boats and serious yotties we've talked on our travels to seem to go for Dusseldorf, the ease of movement, roads/cheap airfares make a weekend trip there worthwhile.
