Unsurprisingly, we headed straight for the large motorboat stands, and spent a lot of time admiring the Fairlines, Princesses and Sunseekers. The people on the Fairline and Sunseeker stands were very friendly, but we found the Sunseeker staff rather snobbish, making it fairly clear that they didn't really want to be wasting time with riff raff like us. Still, undeterred we stuck at it, and made sure that we had a jolly good look around the largest boats that they had on display.
I think that the Princess boats won it for us, so here are a few photos taken on their stand, and yes, the first few really are taken on board a boat!
We also discovered a few nice cars whilst we were at the show. Jake is keen to find out when the Motor Show is on (although a quick Google on the topic seems to indicate that the last one was in 2008 and that whilst they are supposed to be every two years, the 2010 one got cancelled due to the industry downturn. Maybe they'll be back next year).
We bagged a good selection of brochures to droll over (even though the staff were snooty, Sunseeker came up trumps with a big hardback book of a brochure) as well as picking up some Greek sailing holiday brochures - will have to show them to Bec and Mark!
