Yacht Show

The 19th annual Monaco Yacht Show was held September 23rd through the 26th. An estimated 30,000 people arrived over the three-day event, making it one of the busiest in recent memory in terms of foot traffic. However, this years show seemed to feature fewer businesses in attendance and fewer big yacht unveilings.

The lack of big-budget releases can be due to the economic downswing finally forcing even the rich and famous to tamp down their spending habits. It can also be to avoid negative publicity. Some publications love nothing more than to rail against the owners Read the rest of this entry »

‘Mummy, this is really exciting!’ screeched a little girl on Plymouth Hoe, clearly surprised to find herself totally enthralled by… a yacht race of all things.

She can’t have been older than eight and had obviously been an unwilling player in the fever which gripped Plymouth in the lead up to the second leg of the 34th America’s Cup World Series.

She had clearly been dragged up to The Hoe, loth and sullen of face, by parents determined to make sure she witnessed history in the making. They undoubtedly reasoned that she’d thank Read the rest of this entry »

Yacht Party

Yacht Party

Yes, this is America and my, ohio my, how we like to party. From the weekend pool company to the advanced soiree, given any pretense, we’re bound to invite some acquaintances and make it a reality. While the various forms and pretenses abound, what I would like to address is the seeming lack of advanced yacht parties. Yes, the yacht – like Ivy League fashion – has made a rather impractical and successful comeback.

Here is my thesis: any company – especially a well-planned one – can have the same transformative effects as an out-of-body experience. Read the rest of this entry »
