The Hersnes training sailboat used to be called Alexander Green, so the scarlet sails are very good for it.

During the boot show, the sailboat was open to the public. As were the boats of exhibiting companies, some of which could be tested at sea.

For example, the new Sea Ray Sundancer 320...

In general, boats made up the vast majority of the exhibits. See the bright orange in the center?

This supercharged legendary speedboat Cigarette Top Gun 38

Under the hood, it has two Mercury Racing engines, which can reach 170 km/h. Believe me, on water it's very, very fast.

Too bad none of the 22,000 visitors dared to experience this orange arrow.

"Americans" next door: Glastron GT 229 and Chris-Craft Commander 44.

The last one closer is the new flagship of Chris-Craft.

And this is a rare representative of the Russian shipbuilding industry - the severe Arctic Boat 7.8. Built in Murmansk and withstands temperatures from -40 to +55.

For the second year in a row, the big sailing ship Chersonesos became the symbol of the Sochi Yacht Show. This time it arrived at the Sochi Seaport wearing a scarlet sailing armament adorned with four rings of Audi, the main automotive sponsor of the show. Sochi Yachts Show is on the international boat show calendar just like Cannes, Monaco and Dusseldorf. This year the show attracted over 40 exhibiting companies and over 22 thousand visitors in 4 days.
