Match @ duty free

[scubaman]

I was at Nice airport standing in front of a screen staring at the commercials, as you do, when a familiar boat made an appearance. I immediately recognized the boat from jfm’s vid. Perfectly portraying the high life in Côte d’Azur . I hope Jfm got years worth of toblerones out of it

What gave it away? The underwater lighting? I'll get me coat and skulk off before I put my foot in it again.

That's the most obvious hint, but not the only one.
I don't think there are many Sq78 around with a Laser on the f/b!

And MapisM means the Laser sailing dinghy, the laser lights are on Barts boat together with glitter ball badassery :encouragement:

Hi K. Yes that is Match. That video has been playing in a loop constantly in Nice airport (both terminals 1 and 2 ) for last 3 years. I own the footage and they politely asked me if they could use it and I said yes. I often see it, as I pass thru NCE airport most weeks.

 

[Time Out]

I shall go and take a look later !

Hey Vas thank you for that picture. Of course I can . The boat was a 2009, delivered to Menorca, called Macho Man and owned by a hedge fund guy. Then it was sold to a guy in Turkey, good friend of mine, main board director of a Turkish big listed company and obvs I won't mention his name here. Great guy - super keen boater. Berthed Izmir peninsula and renamed Roma. Hull 59 iirc. The current owner swapped the original Williams 385 for Novurania 430+ Yam70 same time as i bought mine, 2013. We collaborated with a lot of emails about "will it fit?"! The top boat isn't a Laser btw.
