Spring boat shows bloom

The shift in popularity from exhibition center-based boat shows to in-water shows continues, with two new events taking place in April 2023 in the UK, as well as the ever-growing International Multihull Show in La Grande-Motte, France

The Multihull Show takes place from 12-16 April. While there may not be the plethora of brand new models making their debuts at this year’s event we’ve been accustomed to, there is still a large mix of the latest multihulls on offer. Catamarans on show include six Balis, six Leopards (including powercats), four Lagoons and three each from Fountaine Pajot, Marsaudon Composites and Outremer. The latter could steal the show by showcasing the new 52 as its world premiere – Yachting World will be featuring an exclusive multi-day boat test on this model in our July issue.
