    Hi YachtLuver.
    The tender/sea doo is a new launch at the show. This model was made in the UK. In the next few months it will be made here in Mallorca. It has a high price tag.

    thanks for the photos

    I noticed a few things;
    -The fifth photo in the first batch looks like a Wallyish tender...is it?
    they already have the bottle of Champagne on the bow ready for it's launch!
    -I would have really liked the boat in the fifth photo in the second batch but...take that big swim platform off the back! It just seems either too big or isn't in keeping with it's otherwise nice salty lines. It also looks like it gives a little too much boyancy aft as it looks bow down to me. Ive seen their website (Cannot remember their name) and like their small displacement cruiser style.
    -the second photo in the third batch shows a Scanner RIB...gives a whole new meaning to "toys on the aft deck"

    Hi Brian

    The first boat is not made by wally but i will get the specs and post it tonight.

    The second boat is build here in Mallorca and are known as Mallorquin yachts.
    There are many off them here around the Island and they are nice little day boats. The swim platform needs to be Redesigned.

    Thanks for the photos and commentary, Graham.

    I don't know if Carl bestows these, but you should be awarded the Most Eclectic Collection of Watercraft in One Location prize.
