    Dear All,

    The London Boat Show will be on from January 7th to January 16th at the Excel London. I will be at the event during its second week (Jan 11 to Jan 16 for a number of times) so I will try to post interesting photos on this thread.

    From what I have read, the Sunseeker Predator 115 and Ferretti 700 will both be presented for the first time. For sailing yachts, I see Oyster 82 and Oyster 655 (one of my favorites) on the list.

    If anyone else is going, it would be nice to say hello. Thanks and regards,

    VR

    I will start to post the first set of pictures tomorrow evening. Anything particular anyone would like to see from the following list? Bear in mind that only exterior shots will be possible for the most:

    Sunseeker Predator 115 & Manhattan 73
    Princess 32M
    Fairline Targa 50GT & Squadron 58
    Sessa C32 & C35
    Riva 33 Aquariva interior by Gucci- perfect for the wife/mistress

    A bunch of us planned to go but after sitting at the Airport for 3 hours waiting for the fog to lift, we gave up.

    Who the hell wants to buy a boat in January anyway?? :(

    Oyster 655, beautiful boat. Interesting placement for a chartplotter though.

    VR,

    That photo of the Trawler yacht, is it the Fleming or the new Beneteau?

    Love the Riva Gucci, not liking the white steering wheel. What's wrong with a nice wooden one?

    Good work, mate. Sorry I missed out this year.

    It must be wrapped in Gucci ;) I agree though about having a wooden one, always a nice touch.

    Thanks Fish, in the last two trawler pictures, the yacht is a Beneteau Swift 44 Trawler, new version from the old 42 (first model). The one in the night shot is a (famous) Fleming, on the river. Here is another shot of her.
