It's a tough job...but somebody has to do it! This year two of us travelled to the Paris Show so one of my salespeople could pick up their 2009 Beneteau Dedication Award (Congratulations, Tamas!) plus we get to see all the new models! Beneteau introduced three new models at the show including the new First 35, The Beneteau 50 and the gigantic new Beneteau 58! Each of these new models were spectacular and we're excited to get them all sailing in our hometown soon. The new First 35 is a Farr Design with a gorgeous teak/alpi interior that felt much larger than her size. Her carbon wheel was huge! The new Beneteau 50 featured a cockpit arch with it's newly styled deck but it was the new Beneteau 58 that stole the show. This boat had a swim/dinghy platform on the stern that was nicknamed "The Beach" complete with beach chairs! Spectacular!Hunter also had a surprising presence this year with their line up that included their new 2010 Hunter 39 as well. It was a great show! Overwhelming as usual but we made the best of it. A glass of Kir Royale (Champagne and Cassis) together with a terrific very french lunch allowed us to survive the long day at the show!
