Show Season Is Here

14Sep09

As the drop in temperatures here in Texas marks the beginning of the fall season, so do the various boat shows around the world. Our first regional show is here on Clear Lake at the end of this month. Will be posting details and our line up in the next couple days.

Here is John Burnhams’, editor of boats.com introduction to the show season, with closer look at one of the first major Shows, Salon Nautique de Cannes.

September 11th 2009

Last week’s HISWA Te Water show in Ijmuiden (Holland) traditionally marks the start of the European Boat Show season, and this year, it featured more than 400 boats. This week, the show season really picks up the pace with two major events in adjacent countries, France and the United Kingdom.

Staff at the ready at the Salon Nautique de Cannes

Currently, some of the Boats.com staff are split between the PSP Southampton Boat Show (which opened earlier today) and the prestigious Salon Nautique de Cannes on the Cote d’Azur.

We will report more from Southampton next week, but for the meantime offer some interesting statistics about the multi-national event going on in the south of France:
