The Sydney International Boat Show is the largest recreational marine event in the southern hemisphere. This year, 2015, it took place between July 30 and August 3 (today). The location was Cockle Bay Marina in Darling Harbour & Sydney Exhibition Centre on Glebe Island.
Here is a list of participating brands. Looking at how big it is, I am amazed of the efforts the NSW Government put to organizing such an ample event.

I haven’t written about boat shows in awhile. Doesn’t matter because it’s rare when there’s something really extraordinary. In Sydney it was really something out of common: races everyday, fishing lessons, dance and party, along all what the yacht builders had more treasured in their collections.
