Dear lwrandall,

I counted 54 yachts in the show website. Some of them are worth seeing; there is a Burger 107, Azimut 70, SeaRay 68, Apreamare 65 and a Vicem 58. Judging from what I read, the property is a recently completed residential/commercial project that happens to have a marina for this event.

As for the attendance, I agree with Loren and NYCAP completely, the petrol prices, the %5.5 unemployment rate and the Dow index dive last Friday will make people think twice about a yacht.

I attended the Miami and the Palm Beach shows this year, although the PB could have been disappointing for the industry, I was able to see the models in a calm atmosphere, with less people around. The drinks on the barges were excellent, but that's another story
