On 12 and 13 March, FIN (the French Federation of Nautical Industries) held Virtual Nautic, an immersive and unique virtual boat show that aimed at replicating in a virtual way the experience of in-person boat shows, with 184 exhibitors and thousands of visitors.

As part of the event, a series of workshops and conferences were organised, called “Les Rencontres”. EBI Secretary-General Philip Easthill had the pleasure to participate in the first of these talks, sharing with attendants the trends in the boating industry in 2020 and 2021, including the impact of COVID-19. He was joined by Yves Lyon-Caen, President of FIN, and Nicolas Harvey, Director of Four Winns and of Wellcraft.

The talk can be found in this video (in French). More conferences from “Les Rencontres” can be found in FIN’s YouTube channel.
