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  . |
Those are very nice boats that I could see at either the fall Annapolis show or the spring baybridge show. The problem I have is the way they promoted this show. The promotions make a reader think they would see a significant number of 100'+ yachts of "discrimating size". Last time I checked a 68' Searay wasn't classified as yacht of discrimating size.
