A&E robot wins award at Seatec show

  The A&E Yacht maintenance Robot that is used exclusively with Supernavi products and works in partnership with the Boero company demonstated it's clear added value on the Seatec show in Carara.The reference event for the marine industry, Seatec brings together quality companies and is the ideal venue for presenting products and innovation, events and international competitions. This is the case of the Qualitec Technology Award, an award for innovative technology, set up to award and promote technology innovation put forward and presented by companies exhibiting at Seatec, the seventh International exhibition for technology, supplies and design for boats, yachts and ships. The Robot is able to sand all applied filler and highbuild primers as well as the alumunium surface.
A high profile jury examined the projects for 2009’s competition composed of Paolo Scifoni (chairman), Giampiero Audino and Paolo Colombo who, after examining a really remarkable series of products on show, assigned first place to the company A&E Yacht Services based in Viareggio for IMR 1.0, an actual system for the robotic application of complete filling and topcoat cycles on super yacht hulls that, according to the official motivation, is a significant step ahead in many areas such as the pre-calculation of the quantities of filler necessary, continuous applications over longer periods of time and so lower overall time as well as a significant reduction of accident risks related to work high up on scaffolding, with a significant reduction of dust dispersed in the environment. The “robot” carries out the application of the various coats and the milling of each coat so as to carry out the established cycles with an accuracy that is not possible by traditional methods at a lower overall cost compared to traditional methods.

Genoa Boatshow absolute worldwide leader

Genoa 48th International Boat Show, which was officially opened at Fiera di Genova on 4th October by the Italian Minister for Economic Development, Mr Claudio Scajola, closed successfully on Sunday, recording a large number of visitors and business negotiations. The overall estimated number of visitors, while gates are still open, is 315 thousand.

According to Fiera di Genova SpA’s Chairman, Mr Paolo Lombardi,” This Boat Show has been a watershed, in spite of the ongoing international crisis. The new pavilion B designed by Jean Nouvel is going to become the symbol of the Show, the fair and exhibition centre, and the city as a whole, and will give us a competitive advantage on our competitors in terms of functionality and business development opportunities. Genoa Boat Show has confirmed its worldwide leadership”.

Mr Lombardi highlights other important new features in this year’s Show: “Thanks to the availability of the new pavilion B and of the new technical basin entirely devoted to sailing, the show’s layout has been almost entirely redesigned. The complex organisational machinery has worked effectively, thus bearing witness to the strength, prestige, and authoritativeness of the Show”.

The Boero Supernavi stand that was located inside pavilion C together with all other yacht-paint companies present at the show attracted many new and obviously also ''old'' customers, but also had to admit that the beautiful weather kept many visitors outside close to the yachts in the water.

The amount of Superyachts that decide to display their vessels at the show also increases every year and one can debate if this or the Monaco show is a better place to reach your public. Supernavi clients like Baglietto and Mondo Marine made sure they had their latest ''pearls'' to be seen by large rows of people.

To ensure the further development of the Show and, more in general, of Fiera di Genova, Mr Lombardi is now asking for more certainties regarding leasing arrangements. "Without certainties in this respect it would be much more difficult for us to meet the new challenges that we will be confronted with: the construction of the hotel that is going to replace the former Ansaldo building and the use of the technical basin for next shows. The Boat Show this year has integrated even more with the city, involving it with the interactive area set up in the Old Port and targeted at young people, and with the great show open to the large public during the gala night.

Monaco Yacht Show 2008

The latest edition of the annual glamorous superyacht event in Monaco has been again successful. It might be the case that the ‘’smaller yacht’’ industry is having difficulties, but the ‘’BIG’’ boys still attract enough attention. After the construction activities of the new part of the Monte Carlo harbour were finished last year, the Show organisation had the possibility to display more yachts than ever before.

Superyachts are more and more finished in ‘’fancy ‘’ colours and this could be witnessed by anyone who paid attention to the sometimes beautiful paintjobs that had been done on the yachts inside the Port. The traditional colours are white and blue, but even though this is still the majority one can find all colours of the rainbow ( including metallic or pearlescent ) 
However, besides beauty there could also be seen several not so great paintjobs ( understatement ). The growth of the Super and Megayacht industry is definitely taking it’s toll and one can be concerned about the paint-quality that is being delivered in some cases. The paint issue was this year a hot topic ( maybe more than ever before )
Many of the Superyacht build every year are done with the Supernavi primer and filler system ( between 40 and 50 ), but lately more and more are finished completely with Boero’s topcoat.
Boero Supernavi decided to organise this year a smashing cocktail party on it’s stand and did this in Hawaiian style. It attracted even more visitors than expected and unfortunately this resulted in a lack of sufficient beverages of all kind. The traditional dances were a joy to see and more than one of the guest tried out his capacities on the ‘’dance-floor’’.

Also the famous ‘’Red Arrows’’ surprised the visitors of the yachtshow with a fantastic flightshow that was largely appreciated. The Red Arrows are renowned throughout the world as ambassadors for both the Royal Air Force and the United Kingdom. The Team was officially formed in 1965.

All together one could speak about a very interesting Show this year and plenty of exhibitors and visitors will already look forward to next year.

Boatshow season ready to kick off

The holidays are almost over for most of us and that means that its time for the first Boatshow to roar its head. The premiere show is always the Cannes show, which is an event that is growing every year in size and image. This years edition of the Festival International de la Plaisance has again a larger section for the superyachts and is expecting more customers then ever before.

The Monaco Yacht Show has less space to grow in size, but is without a doubt one of the most spectacular Yacht shows in the world. Boero, Supernavi is displaying its product line at the usual spot ( Darse Nord ) and is planning to organise a colourful HAWAIIAN COCKTAIL PARTY at the booth during the show. All Supernavi customers are kindly invited to show up and enjoy some drinks and food on the 25th of September. To show up in style would be highly appreciated, but not obligatory. See you all in Monaco !!!!

MYBA 2008, Superyachts on display

The MYBA Charter Show (5 to 9 May) has been, also this year, a very interesting 5 day exhibition for the professionals of the luxury recreational sailing sector.The numerous participating events and the splendid location in the Porto Antico (Ancient Harbour) of Genoa are enviable added value. The event was a very good opportunity for the service and product suppliers, and of course the brokers, to meet up directly with the captains of the  superyachts. During the Midday break, captains and crew were receiving brokers on board for lunch to present the possibilities for potential clients. During the morning or the afternoon, the suppliers could visit each of the 65 super and mega yachts and introduce themselves; which is the primary thing to do at the exhibition, since the show is off limits for the general public.. This in contrast  to the Genoa Boat Show, (maybe  a little too selective, regarding the 1 hour of queuing  for the first day registering) .

One of the most beautiful yachts present on the MYBA happened to be ‘’ the Shamrock ‘’ which displayed  the Supernavi paint system and most of all the Challenger HS topcoat. This yacht which was painted one year ago still showed a gloss that most yacht owners can only dream of. Naturally this classic sail yacht wasn’t the only yacht present with the Supernavi paints on the hull and superstructure, but this could be expected in the home-base port of Boero in Genoa.

Last, but not least also the ‘’ Super Hero,s ‘’ were present at the show this year, to prove to everyone that also Super Hero,s like to be associated with Superyachts. ( I guess as long as they have a Super wallet nobody would mind ).

Impressive Dubai Boatshow 2008

Also this year Boero Supernavi participated on the latest ever larger Dubai Boatshow. The show has been growing larger and larger in the recent years and also seem to attract the Super and Mega-yacht builders from around the world, like Lurssen, Fincantiere and Benetti among others. The hot topic of the show was the development of the Dubai Maritime city; to be built near Palm Jumeira. Already over 100 companies have expressed interest to be a part of the city.

Boero Supernavi was again present with their very bright and recognizable stand, only this year the company's president Andreina Boero and her daughter Cristina joint the Boero crew of Lorenzo Camoirano during their anual presentation in the United Arab Emirates.
DIBS is also becoming the platform for exclusive world premier launches, like this year from Al Harbe Marine, AS Marine and Gulf Craft, plus regional premiers from leading names including Azimut, Cigarette, Doral, Fairline, Ferretti, Formula, Maxum, and Sunseeker.

A total of 800 companies have been participating Advertisement from 48 countries with 158 luxury power and sailing boats on the water.

8500 visitors check out first Antibes Yacht Show

On a beautiful sunshiny day that the Antibes Yacht Show finally come to life in Port Vauban of Antibes.

Nearly a mile of red carpet dressed the quays of the Old Port and the Quai des Milliardaires spreading throughout the entire old Chantier Naval Opera set the tone of the luxury of the show.

Around one hundred exhibitors, 70 yachts in the water from 55 to 200 feet and almost 8 500 visitors participated at this premiere of the Antibes Yacht Show.

One could visit motor and sailing yachts for sale or for charter. The exhibitors were very different, along with the brokers, there were also companies offering services around yachting, crew placement, interior decoration, naval architecture, suppliers, wi-fi connection but also luxury products and nautical magazines etc.

The VIP area and the caterer dominated the show from the terrace of the Chantier Naval Opera recently restored by the town. It was there that the exhibitor cocktail evening took place on Saturday April 7th sponsored by Only Yacht and animated by a Jazz trio. The setting was superb, we could enjoy the appetizers prepared by the show’s caterer Ruban Bleu while enjoying the sunset over the town of Antibes.

Antibes Yacht Show also hosted an evening for the captains and their crews. With the help of EGP, a barbecue was improvised on the Quai des Millardaires the Sunday evening while the MY Magna Grecia participated with music and a fabulous light show.

Many of the exhibitors organised cocktails for their clients. Riviera Yacht Support animated a part of the Quai des Milliardaires every afternoon with a golf competition whilst collecting funds for the Montessori School. Golf amateurs could swing 5 balls towards the sea for the amount they chose. A boat shuttle picked up the floating balls after the distance was measured. Every day the best performance (male and female) was rewarded with a bottle of champagne. The entire amount collected of 1 417€ will be given to the school, while the record of 279 meters will remain in the books until next year.

On a more serious note, the show will need to boost it's marketing campain if it wants to compete in any way with the more established shows of Monaco and Cannes. Next year will prove which direction this event is going to follow.

Its importance is witnessed by the growing appreciation among exhibitors and visitors.

Dubai Int. Boatshow largest marine event of the Middle East

At the latest edition of the Dubai Int. Boat Show Boero managed to be present with a brand new stand in cooperation with it's UAE distributor ; Henderson International. 2007 was the first edition to have a large display inside the equipment pavillion. Four years ago Boero started outdoors space, but mainly of the growing professionality of the whole event, they decided that it was time to come up with a new stand on the outskirts of the Italian pavillion. The event brought some very promising clients to the '' Dubai leg'' of the Supernavi family.

This year’s edition of the Dubai International Boat Show (DIBS) 2007, held at the Dubai International Marine Club, received strong praise from international visitors and exhibitors for providing a strong platform for business development and industry growth. DIBS 2007 has grown in all directions, with 722 participating companies, up 53 percent compared to 2006, and exhibitors from 44 countries, up by 16 percent on the previous year.

In addition, the number of boats on display rose to 330 in total, with 188 in the external area and 142 on the water.

International Boat Industry claimed that the Show has "come of age" in a live report from DIBS 2007, writing that every international exhibitor it spoke to was "unanimously impressed with the professionalism and potential of the show". This view was widely endorsed by exhibitors at national pavilions at the show on Friday, who all expressed admiration for the high level of organisation and delight at the volume and scale of business transacted. The show is growing in the same speed as the rest of Dubai as you can view out of your car-window on your way over to the show.

Billed as the largest marine event ever held in the Middle East, DIBS 2007 saw record numbers of trade visitors on the first day. The show also recorded a number of major sales of boats and yachts, reinforcing its position as a major business development port for the marine leisure industry. "To have so many trade and leisure visitors coming on the first day of the show demonstrates the significance the Dubai International Boat Show has in the marine calendar. This is a result of the huge variety of boats, equipment, attractions and accessories at the show this year, ensuring there is something to suit all tastes and budgets," said Helal Saeed Al Marri, Director General, Dubai World Trade Centre.
