Brian,

In the Med marinas there is mostly a chain under the water where all the bow lines are secured. In some cases there may be individual weights lowered at the bottom. There are no buoys, but these lines have a lead line which is tied at the pontoon when there is no boat. When the boat arrives you pick up the lead line and take it fore and tie the boat to this line. A very practical system indeed.

Yesterday, for the first time, I saw a Mangusta 165 at Hercule in Monaco, both fly and open, a beautiful boat indeed !

Which one you saw? "Z'Ellerston", "Salvaje" or the newest one?

''Zeus'', colour : cream. The open is still in Monaco, and can be seen at Hercule pier, ''quai des Etat-Unis'' left side.

Had to mind you meant "Zeus", all of them are nice, especially the interior conceptualization, although "Salvaje's" interior isn't the best I have seen, it isn't the worst either.

I watched the Nilo's pictures (very nice).
Just a comment, some boats on the shots are not part of the show, like LIONHEART or CAPELLA C (hidden at the right of lionheart, with two radomes like huge mushrooms !) that are all-year-long tenants of the harbour...unless these boats I can see every day....are on sale ??????

All of them...I'am not sure....very often, for a purchase of a second-hand boat, you are disappointed either by the arrangements of the decks or by the interior fittings...bad selection of woods and fabrics by the previous owners...some of them have very special...hum....taste !
