Thats not on IMO. Boatshows are advertised as a public event, the public pay good money to get through the gate and then they are not allowed to look around the boats they have paid to see ? I've been a victim of this myself, some companies are better than others but none of them seem to be able to organise a simple appointment system whereby low-lives like us can book a quick viewing to fit around the real prospective clients viewings.
The cost and logistics of exhibiting at a show is colossal, granted, and the main aim is to sell product, but surely there is still a little leeway for those who dont have the means to buy, but the interest to look.
