Dusseldorf Boat Show 2015

Just back from a fantastic time at the Dusseldorf boat show. If you are not familiar with this show it is the biggest indoor boat show in the world. Seventeen display halls with different product in each hall.

I was at the show filming new product releases. We shot 44 videos in three days of filming. Yup, it was a fun, flat out schedule.

Over the last 47 years I have been to most of the boat shows in North America and a bunch in Europe. This show has the most diverse range of products and some of the coolest gear and boats. Too bad most of it won’t make it to the US. This was my second year at the show and I look forward to taking an extra day next year to explore after the job is finished.

Go to my First Look section of videos to see the product we filmed as they are put on-line. Currently I am still cranking out the edits but next week the first ones will be up on boats.com.

Next is the Three Bridge Fiasco race in San Francisco where I will be sailing double handed with my friend Kame Richards owner of Pineapple sails. We will sail Kame’s Express 37 a big brother to my Kincora. I sailed with Kame to Hawaii in the Pacific Cup 2012 on California Condor the Jim Antrim designed Class 40.
