So day one of the boat show is well under way and so far it's been an interesting day. We had two of the X-Factor finalists open the show and lots of new product launches. Right next door to my stand we had product launches for the new Gill race range which is a comprehensive range of sports boat and yacht racing kit tailored towards the warm weather racing events like the Audi med cup and Antigua race week. So far we have seen alot of interest in the entire range with good early sales.

Also launching a new range of kit today were Henri Lloyd with their revelutionary range of sailing kit made from recycled and recyclable materials. I'm sure this Blue Eco will be the first of many products like this to be produced by the big clothing manufactuers. Crewsaver also unveile the new Crewfit 190n lifejacket with it's built in hood and light along with fitted crutch straps it full fills all of the RNLI's suggested wish list of a lifejacket and has proved very popular with the boating public so far today.

Hopefully I will be able to come back with some juicy show gossip tomorrow so watch this space.
