Yachting Monthly – September 2019

WHAT TO SEE

BOAT SHOW

been reimagined this year for extra ‘wow
factor’. Inside, the Arena area has a tidier
look and will be easier to navigate. This will
remain the home of small boats, wooden
boats and some of the smaller vendors but
the organisers hope to offer a slightly more
slick entrance. The entrance has also been
moved fractionally so now it is not directly
from the pavement.
This year’s highlights on the main stage
will include another dose of likeable YouTube
sailors, Sailing Uma. Dan and Kika are hoping
to follow up their visit in 2018 with a second
appearance – this time aboard their Pearson
36 Uma. Currently in New York City heading
north, they are intending to take an extreme
northern route to Europe, eventually over-
wintering in the Med.

The Southampton Boat

Show is held every year in

Mayflower Park and its

temporary marina still

attracts swathes of visitors

and industry big names.

Newly launched yachts this

year include: J Boats J/99,

Solaris 44, Swan 48,

Lagoon 48, and the

Beneteau Oceanis 30.

The Arena will still be

home to small and wooden

boats but the layout

has been improved for 2019

Ocean Hall is the place

to see the latest

electronics, chandlery

and books

It’s a great chance to see

popular boats and new

launches on the water for the

first time

ARENA

Many of the smaller craft,

tenders and wooden boats can

be found just inside the

show entrance

SOLENT PARK

Among the new boats is the

Discovery Revolution 480. The

same hull as the Southerly

than swing keel and without

a raised saloon
