14 October 2008 (Brighton,UK): TV Yachts, home of The Virtual Shipyard and the first dedicated television channel to showcase the world’s finest sailing and motorised yachts, launched at the 2008 PSP Southampton Boat Show (12 – 21 September). With over 600 exhibitors and a total of 121,389* visitors, the 40th Southampton Boat Show, in association with ITV Meridian, was the ideal place to capture and bring together the most exotic yachts for sale and show, providing TV Yachts with over 20 exclusive interviews with major names from the boating and sailing industry.
TV Yachts, which is available to view on television via the PlayTV UK set-top box service and online at TVYachts.com, is now broadcasting interviews from the show, in addition to archive material from the 2007 Southampton Boat Show (courtesy of SBS / ITV Meridian) and the 2008 London Boat Shown (courtesy of SBS / Channel 4).
TV Yachts spoke with a number of exhibitors, including Robert Braithwaite MBE, founder and managing director of Sunseeker, which has current annual sales of £172 million from a single brand and which has once again supplied vessels for the new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace. This will be the fourth consecutive time Sunseeker vessels have starred in Bond films, but the famously private Mr Braithwaite is now rumoured to have also taken part in the film. With over $50 million of its latest models on display at the show, thousands of visitors flocked to the stand to get a taste of the high octane luxury lifestyle for which Sunseeker is so renowned. With a show opening launch by sailing gold medallist Ben Ainslie and a fifth Queen’s Award for Export, Mr Braithwaite explained the secret of 100% British Sunseeker’s success.
