The event was held at Ocean Village Marina, running concurrently with the South Coast & Green Tech Boat Show.
“The MAA lunch has become a unique opportunity for the glorious company of yachting journalists to get together informally and shoot the breeze with one another, and with some of the important people they write about,” explained MC and marine author Tom Cunliffe.
Sspeakers from sponsoring companies took turns to address the 120-strong audience, including B&G product director Matt Eeles (Navico Group) and director at Wessex Resins & Adhesives, Sam Oliver who spoke about the latest technologies their companies are developing.
“Events like this are important to highlight how much technology has transformed boating which has become an integral part of our brand,” says Matt. “These advancements in technology have become vital for users of all experiences, with multiple crossovers of brands across all boating sectors.
“On a personal level, it’s great to talk with people and hear real-time feedback on the market and our products in general.”
MAA was set up by Mike Shepherd in 2009.
