Good Business Reported At Super Yacht '94 gian electronic concerns, Norcontrol and Simrad Robertson, with ar-
rangements especially designed for
sophisticated superyachts with the
same features as the full profes-
sional versions. Taking advantage
of progress made this year, the new
owners of the show plan a move for
1995, just a couple of hundred yards
away, to a larger single level, cus-
tom built exhibition center. The
in-water show will also be improved
with more facilities.

Nice, on the French Riviera, was
the venue for the 4th International
Super Yacht Show held in the last
week of May. Revitalized under
new ownership, the event delighted
exhibitors with a marked increase
in the number of visitors and good
business reported in all sectors. Over
40 superyachts and some 300 com-
panies from across Europe, the
Americas, Australia and the Far
East attempted to catch the eye.

Jorge Robaina was kept busy ne-
gotiating deals and reports orders
for three 100-ft. (30-m) plus vessels,
two of which are for the Far East,
and David Ross, president of
Burger Boat Company, announced
sales of 86-ft. (26-m) and 76-ft. (23-
m) motor yachts. Palmer Johnson's
Mike Conraddeclared himself well
pleased with the show, having
signed contracts for several major
refit projects at the company's Sa-
vannah repair facility. "Frankly,
we never expect to sign deals at
shows but this year's Super Yacht
has been an exception," he com-
mented. New Zealand's Marine
Export Group was equally bullish
about the state of the industry and

nology accrued as a result of the
