Crocus-Expo - First Impressions
Autumn - is not the time to «burn ships», to the beautiful song Shevchuka. This is the time to buy ships to have next summer to be able to go «away from the ground» in the blue distance. Of course, may not be so liberally interpreted poetic text, but it is autumn it is time the world's prime yahtostroeniya - at numerous boat shows producers put on the court to develop new audiences and collect orders for next season.
sequence yachting exhibitions from September to February each year rolled around the world. Although spring and summer are even a few well-known shows, but the main activity of heat customers increasingly shifted to the autumn pore. Given a stream of money poured into these months in the yachting world, autumn has become a truly «golden time.
Russian yacht market long was content spring sales, relying on customers, with the first rays of sun awake from winter hibernation. But things change and times of impulsive «snowdrops go of the past. Customers were approached to buy a yacht, as a planned event, and almost mandatory. The idea of the autumn boat show nosilas in the air almost immediately godi resulted in two new activities.
in September to a yacht club «Burevestnik» private view was held elite yacht - Burevestnik International Boat Show 2004. A 21 to 24 October in the exhibition center «Crocus-Expo»
a 1-st Moscow International Exhibition «Salon yachts and boats» . The English name sounds somewhat differently:
International Moscow MARINE SALON , but the essence of this is not changing - the season of Moscow Boat Show started!
once again reverting to the time factor, we note that the MARINE SALON in «Crocus» was held in this regard is correct: given the fact that most Russians dealers active in the boat shows abroad, and customers are well aware there way.
Exhibition started immediately after the peak of the first European exhibition activity: Cannes, Southampton, Monaco, Genoa - left behind, you can safely return home and see what happens to yachting in the native Penates.
First, experience has shown that not only time but also a place for the "Salon of yachts and boats chosen well: location and possible exhibition center
« Crocus-Expo » perfectly suited for such activities.
First dignity - now get to «Crocus» on MKAD much faster from anywhere in Moscow than in any other exhibition.
second important advantage - a huge parking lot on the surrounding area.
third factor supports very complex «Crocus City»: a modern exhibition center with complete infrastructure close to the most luxurious place for shopping - tropical, exotic boutiques Crocus City Mola.
availability of general infrastructure and even its own yacht club Shore House until the exhibit has not been realized, but the potential for the creation of the exhibition «water» offers excellent prospects for development of the Salon.
With regard to the exhibitors, it is worth noting that many players have taken the yacht market fence: you run, and we see the result. Those who venture to take part in the new project, of course, won.
exhibitors were: Admiral Group, Avtodina Sport, AVTOPIK-M, Britkar, EXPERT MARIN, HardTop Marine, JJ-Racing, MOREMAN, «MARINTEHSERVIS», «NEPTUN-NB», «Pallada City», Prestige Yachts, Silayn Seylz Rash, «SPORTSUDPORM», «Yuniseyl-T», «Gals Group», «The boat Life», «TreydMarin», «Marinetek Rash» and others.
Moscow is becoming a tradition to show the yacht, along with cars. And organizers have combined into one event, two exhibitions:
"Salon of yachts and boats" and
"Salon Car" .
«Water» and «land» was a general admission ticket, but occupied different rooms. This decision also is attributed to the advantage of a new exhibition: on the one hand, managed to attract the right customer audience, on the other, to avoid «cherespolositsy», where the yacht had to consider through the windows of cars.
drawback was that to the media, organized an interesting test-drive in a jeep, but did not conduct even a cursory review of the yacht sector, there were no scheduled meetings with the shipbuilders, dealers, and sailors.
Information and cultural component of boat show did not have that, however, quite typical for most Russian yacht exhibitions, and distinguishes them from the world. Apparently, it is not yet established the status of yachting in this country.
fact that no world premiere at the Salon was not in the individual comments are not needed. None of the Russian boat show has not yet gained such status to the public with the latest achievements in shipbuilding. The larger yachts presented in «Crocus», refers to the secondary market - the so-called brokerage, and this is also characteristic of our boat show.
exhibition itself even started before entering the exhibition center - here in the open area located more than a dozen boats. Note that on the streets there were only small boats, of which it is desirable to note Ukrainian plastic cabin boat
COBRA Elegance (6 meters). This was not the show, but for our brand new market and, on first impression, successfully.
Main Hall visitors met impressive stand
Avtodiny Sports , representing the two motor yachts:
Carver - American Production and
Faserind Evolution , built in Kazan. Draft for Faserind ordered in America. For the six months since the first acquaintance with this boat, Russian producers have finalized boat: made some changes to the design of yacht interiors, replacing materials and giving the boat great respectability.
On the stand
Gals Group looked impressive black hull Italian yacht class
Open-Primatist 641 . The creator of the model range
Primatist Abbot Bruno likes to build boats for the Russian customers. For the exhibition, he flew to Moscow and the pleasure to show the possibility of a boat. At the same bench could learn about plans to expand the yacht-club «Gals», talked with its director.
Perhaps the most
status brand from the yacht was the English yacht boat
Sealine , which demonstrated the company
Silayn Seylz Rash - the newly opened representative office in Moscow Shipyard.
debut performance include the company booth
Prestige Yachts - the company formed last summer, brought in «Crocus» several models of inexpensive, but comfortable boat of French shipbuilding company
Jeannea and American company
Four Winns . Both brands first presented in the Russian market (products Jeanneau we had known previously only in the sailing yacht).
combination of «price-quality» and the French, and American manufacturers are pleased pleased Muscovites. Judging by the number of visitors at the stand of Prestige Yachts, the emergence of these models is very important for our waters.
Geography
Shipbuilding was presented very broadly - America, Britain, France, Italy, Netherlands, Finland, Ukraine, Russia. Classes of motor boats were also virtually everything - from small displacement sport boats to yachts.
Fans
sailing yachts «alive» on the show saw nothing but the presence of two well-known sailing dealers: Company
EXPERT MARINE and
MARINTEHSERVIS - give potential buyers an opportunity to resolve all issues with the acquisition of classic yachts and sailing catamarans.
Loud announced a new project for the construction of elite yacht clubs:
«City Yacht» , p
«French Riviera» and
«Pallada City» .
Stand «Pallada City» immediately attracted the attention of a beautiful exposition solution. No less remarkable, and the concept of this company - Klyazminskogo village on the shores of the reservoir should be to combine the charm of the urban and suburban life.
Infrastructure includes: yacht club «Pallada Marin» equipped with a pier, berth and slipway winter; fitness club «Pallada Sports»; shopping center «Pallada Market» with rollerdromom in the courtyard. It also planned to construct the gas station with car wash and underground garages, opening their own nursery school and primary school, vocational school for children and youth sailing and much more.
priority in the complex is given a yacht club, on which the starting motor-sailing school. «Pallada Marin» could become a center for the development of yachting life of the capital, comparing the current thinking on the level of comfort with the local traditions of navigation. Not Sailing Federation has been actively involved in the fate of the yacht club.
on the territory of a yacht club house for children and youth sailing school under the auspices of the Russian Federation sailing. In building a yacht club will open a permanent exhibition of the collection of the best works of legendary artist and traveler Fyodor Konyukhov.
overall impression of the days of the Salon - here visiting all who are interested in Russia's yachting. The number of actual buyers once again supported the choice of time and place of the event.
«Abstentions» from participation came as visitors, and, I think, many donated their care. After the show sounded reviews that result exceeded all expectations, the exhibition was held to be extremely fruitful. The success is largely contributed to some of the first chamber compartment. Visitors could no hurry to inspect all of the proposed model, to communicate with dealers and to make a correct choice.
As an outcome like to recall that today all the famous boat-show started at once modest-sized squares. Do
MARINE SALON there is an opportunity for growth and great prospects.
