The new extension at ExCeL gives a great opportunity to lay the Show out in response to how visitors want to see it and will enable us to bring new and exciting aspects to the Show to increase the audience - all with the aim of increasing your sales opportunity. We'll also be presenting the plans for the 2010 PSP Southampton Boat Show, including layout and feature ideas, as well as updating you on the space available going forward.

"The Round Britain Race is the perfect way to show what these superb boats can really do, as was shown with the results in 2008. There is virtually no other production leisure boat that even gets close to the 36 in terms of speed, handling and manoeuvrability, especially when faced with rough sea conditions. These are some of the key reasons why the Goldfish 36 is so well suited to the Round Britain Race and why we are looking forward to building on her previous successes with the 2012 race," explained James Sydenham.
The Goldfish 36 was designed and built by Norwegian company Goldfish AS leaving nothing to chance in creating one of the world's most impressive RIB's. There is an impeccable attention to detail throughout with only the highest quality of materials used, affirming the boats long term reliability and performance. The incredible power for the 36 comes from dual inboard diesels which provide top speeds of up to 80 knots, whilst the unique decompressing zones in the hull equip the RIB with superb manoeuvrability and handling.
Although prominent in the racing circuit, the 36 has seen a sharp rise in demand within the luxury tender and leisure markets. The RIB is not only exceptionally fast and fun but also extremely comfortable and safe, making it perfect for use as a luxury tender and leisure boat.

Congratulations to Toomer and Hayter who exhibited at London Boat Show for the 50th time this January. Toomer and Hayter Ltd were established in 1960 and have been one of the forerunners in providing quality upholstery and equipment to the marine industry. The business was the brain child of Lionel Toomer and Frank Hayter who realised there was a need for an upholstery outlet on the South Coast and successfully built up and ran the business for in excess of 30 years, latterly passing the reins over to their children Alan Toomer and Vivien West who have continued to build the business to it's present status with the help of their strong workforce which currently numbers around 25.
Dorset based sailing specialist, Rockley Watersports is encouraging school children to take to the water by getting onboard with the charity, the National School Sailing Association! Both Rockley Watersports and the National School Sailing Association (NSSA) have the same goal in mind to promote watersports as part of the educational experience of young people. Rockley Watersports has been teaching watersports to schools for over 30 years and as part of their ongoing mission to encourage outdoor learning, Rockley Watersports is working with the NSSA to get the message across that watersports is accessible to all young people.
Rockley Watersports managing director, Peter Gordon said: Our new relationship with the NSSA is extremely exciting. We both have the same vision and that is to encourage school children to get on the water and take an interest in watersports. By actively working together we can reach a larger audience and so promote watersports and its benefits. The first project that we worked on is to encourage schools to visit the Tullett Prebon London International Boat Show, by giving away free tickets!
Rockley Watersports secured over 1,000 free tickets to the London International Boat Show, giving school children the opportunity to find out more about watersports. The London Boat Show is an exciting educational experience, which will not only teach school children about watersports, but it also offers children the chance to see what future careers there are within the maritime industry.
