The 2012 Dusseldorf Boat Show

Each January, boatbuilders, equipment manufacturers and just about everyone else involved with the European leisure marine industry descends on the German city of Dusseldorf, on the Rhine, for the ten-Day Boot show. So do a quarter of a million boating enthusiasts from all over the world, eager to see the latest developments in boats, gear, clothing and anything else to do with waterborne recreation. Peter Nielsen was there.
