25-04-2007 Ancasta Hosts Hamble New Boat Show
UNVEILING OF NEW BAVARIA 33 SPORT & HARD TOP
PORT HAMBLE MARINA, 11 – 13 MAY 2007
Potential yacht buyers and locals who enjoy admiring the beauty of power and sailing boats should head for the picturesque location of Port Hamble Marina on Friday 11, Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 May for the Hamble New Boat Show, hosted by Ancasta, Europe’s largest boat sales network. With an exciting line up to be seen, the show runs from 10am – 5pm each day and entry and parking is free.
The large array of boats on display will include a wide selection of super yachts, sleek cats and stunning power models, covering Ancasta’s range of new boats for sale. Show highlights include the UK’s first showing of the outstanding all-new Bavaria 33 Sport. With electric hard top option for complete shelter from the elements, this distinct new design offers owners an extended cruising season and a unique layout presenting the owner with a spacious interior. For sailors, there’s also the rare chance to see the entire Bénéteau range of Océanis yachts on the water in one location - a great opportunity to compare and contrast the racing and cruising ranges Bénéteau Yachts have to offer which include the First and Cyclades collections. Also on display will be the luxury Rodman fly-bridge cruisers and the innovative Lagoon cruising catamarans.
The Hamble New Boat Show offers a relaxed environment in which to view and purchase new boats in a local marina environment, and talk with Ancasta’s experienced staff about individual boating requirements. With Ancasta showcasing almost 30 models of different innovative designs and sizes, across power & sail, the show appeals to sailors and motor boaters.
In addition to the information on new technologies and new boat launches for 2007, Bank of Scotland marine finance specialists will be on hand to give financial recommendations on upgrading an existing boat or financing a new purchase. There will be some exclusive boat show finance packages available on new boat purchases just to make your purchase seem even more attractive.
