The Multihull Solutions Brokerage division was also successful at the show, with provisional orders taken on a Mahé 36 Evolution and Lavezzi 40 sailing catamaran.
Multihull Solutions managing director Mark Elkington said the boat show was undoubtedly its most successful in history. “We were absolutely inundated with genuine buyers who came to the event looking to secure a great deal,” Mark said.
“The sheer quantity and quality of visitors at our stand is evidence of the show’s appeal, as well as the ever-growing popularity of multihulls,” he said.
