Recompense for last-minute cancellation of boat shows rejected
Yachting Monthly
|November 2020
Some exhibitors at Boats 2020 have criticised the last-minute decision to cancel the Southampton event, leaving many of them out of pocket.
-
Southampton City Council stopped the show, and MDL’s Ocean Village Boat Show just hours before they were due to open, citing concerns about the increase in COVID-19 infections nationally and attendees coming from different parts of the UK. Both events were due to run from 11-20 September, with Boats 2020 expected to attract 15,000 people and the Ocean Village Boat Show 5,000 people over the 10 days. These attendance figures were agreed by the city council, which worked with both events to make sure they met Public Health England COVID-19 safety requirements.

ALLURES HORIZON 47
Since 2003 Allures have been building yachts that don't sit neatly in one category or another. Rugged explorer yachts with aluminium hulls, the deck and superstructure are fibreglass and as such allow the boat to feel much less utilitarian than some of its all-metal counterparts. This fourth-generation model seeks to take a fresh look at what a blue-water cruising yachts is.

OVNI 490
Anyone who has followed the last two editions of the Vendée Globe, or even developments in the Class 40 fleet, will know it's now well understood that, if sailors have good protection on watch, they'll perform better as well as be more comfortable. Similar thinking is being applied to cruising yachts, though this can be complicated by a stronger emphasis on aesthetics.

J-BOATS J36
This is an evolution of the popular J/112e, with the deck layout, companionway and cockpit updated. It brings the boat into line with the larger J40 and J45 which have been adapted to have a wider appeal to cruisers as powerful, offshore-capable cruiser-racers.
