  1. This is a huge yacht and it can take to sail far away.

  2. interesting they've launched a 70ft following the 76ft & 65ft. I expected a 55ft to make volume or so.
    This is a new organisation so they -may- need to ramp up the production carefully I guess, and also to focus on products with higher margin as well.

  3. Hello Fred, nice to see you here.
    In the 50 feet plus size at this moment I would go with build on order. Market exists but is over competitive, and on the buyers side. There is also a less difference in quality then it used to be. My opinion for MonteCarlo not yet building a sub 50 is that may be they want to leave this part of the market to there other Prestige brand. The only complication that I would see in this move, is that sales network for Prestige is usually different to that of MonteCarlo. Prestige goes with Jeanneau, and MCY is presented with Beneteau.

  4. Hi William, very interesting insights into the boat industry you raised here, thanks indeed.

    Talking about Prestige range, I like their new 62s, the Flybridge + Hardtop concept, and I can't wait to see the new Voyager range.
    I do agree, the Beneteau Group may not position MCY against Prestige, or at least by approaching lower size with an 'upmarket' proposition, against Sunseeker may be....

    ps: Will you visit the Southampton Boat show by any chance? I may be around.
