I had also other business to go in Paris (F18 wc meeting). So as I was just 1km from the show, it was logical to visit, but I do not think I would travel from Budapest just for the boatshow.

I was happy to see the Volvo 40, the wild cat and the new cap.

The new cap is really nice. The carbon daggerboars and rudder blades looks great, and yes, the mast rotator/mast foot also a nice development.

They changed to separate tack line for the spi, and there is an interesting auto relase solution for the tack line, check
this above the tramp
