Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show Mark Burgin
Queensland turned on its famous slogan 'beautiful one day, perfect the next' with only a few showers overnight to wash away the clouds, but not deter the punters.

Exhibitors are ecstatic with the weather - the first SCIBS for many years with 4 days straight of blue skies! In fact, complaints from media and exhibitors were of the heat and the UV exposure! Hats are doing a roaring trade, as are all the restaurants, food stalls and bars in the Village.

Social and networking events are a vital part of SCIBS and key to the atmosphere among exhibitors, who are unanimous that the excellent hours – 9 to 5 – of this boat show are among its key factors of appeal.

The vibe is great and comments include that the show has 'returned to the lifestyle event it once was'.
Here’s to a fine weekend with sales all round!
