Thanks for the pics - always forget to take a camera.

Went on the Delphias - felt like you were 'on' them rather than 'in' them - cockpit floor quite high to facilitate rear cabin and low coamings. Otherwise not bad.

Legend 33 much nicer than Bav 33 for similar money despite poor nav table. Nice to see bilge keels available.

If those pics taken on Tuesday then it was busier than Monday (just as well).

'Berth seven dolphin boats' the sign says, if anyone has a brochure handy they can look it up? Or else try the Dolphin website? (sorry, saw so many that I can't now remember them all, took a pic cause it looked good/unusual though)

Tango 30 ?

Ha! I have sailed one of those - the Viva18 /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Very good in light airs. Shame you can't see the top of the rig - it carries a lot of sail for an 18'er. Swing keel but the box is not too intrusive.

Yep - it's a Tango 30 made in Poland and sold by Dolphin on the E coast. She looks pretty reasonable, but a bit on the pricey side @ around £65K on the water.

Nice pics, but left me feeling totally dissinterested, why is that all these new raggie machines are starting to look like a new breed of gin palace mobos?.........Ok, I confess, I do lean more to the traditional style of yachts, so my opinions are probably coloured by that.

Whats this two wheels thing all about? what's wrong with one in the middle?.....just seems a good way to clutter up a cockpit to me. Do any of these modern horrors come with a tiller?

Oh well, now I know why I don't go to boat shows anymore. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Did anyone look at the Najad 440 and if so, what do you think of it internally? Personally, the new modern layout esp. in the saloon looked clinical to me.

HR342 was much more inviting and is heading for Largs after the show for charter. The HR54 going back to Sweden. Costing £18K to get her there and back - just for show!

At the opposite end of the market the Hanse 311, but was that sticky back plastic or really just strange looking veneer? I've been in nicer canavans!

Gorgeous to look at, until you see the prices, then it is just nice to get down the yard and look at what you have, and realise what it would cost to replace!
