Hi Guys, I was at the "boot Düsseldorf" 2008 and took some pics. But I've forgot a one, which looks like a big Wally Tender, but it was not a Wally...
hey rené - thanks for visting the boot 2008, i wasn't able to get there this year, so it's nice to see somebody got there and took some nice pictures. have you been on the big ones? like the elegance 98?
Thanks Rene! The last boat you pictured is a Farmont. I *thought* they were out of business, because their web page has been down for the past year. I spent about an hour taking a close look at this boat during FLIBS 2005 and I was going to do a review. I tried following up, but to no avail. The boat has a unique interior lay-out, but it's most redeeming quality is... it's a fiberglass boat that's built like a tank. The boat at FLIBS was their very first launch and it was a little rough around the edges, but otherwise it had a lot of potential.
You're welcome Jannick: I wasn't on the big ones (Perhaps someday because I leave some CVs in Hall 6 and 7a. ) Carl: BTW, it is the Blue Seas
Great photos, thanks. Its great to see the scale of some of those displays, and different ways to conceal the support stands. Not used to seeing the big stuff inside at a show. What is Equilibre? Looks like Wombat http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/general-yachting-discussion/7222-bay-harbor-harbor-springs-mi.html
I like that Conrad Classic...check out their site. They look very nice (I'm a sucker for the work boat look) http://classic58.******************/
Brian, You are absolutely right. I stopped and found the website for the Conrad Classic before I even finished looking at the rest of the photos in this thread. I never heard of the builder or designer before, but that is one fantastic looking boat. I love that the hull is steel and that it has double-glazed windows. She is a beauty.
Rene, Thanks for the pics and taking the time to post them. I like the fact that they have the big boats inside on stands/cradles. Gives you the opportunity to see the hull design and such.
Rene, I think the boat you are referring to that looks like a Wally Tender is the Fjord 40 Open. Just so happens I've been looking at their website the last two days. They look like nicely built boats. Did you get a chance to go onboard? If so what did you think? Cheers.
HKT, Yes, it was a Fjord. I don't have asked to go aboard, because I let CVs there and so it's clear, that I don't have the money to buy it
