Boot Düsseldorf

Following the measures decreed by the German government to counter the wave of Covid-19 infection that the country is now witnessing, the organizers of Boot Düsseldorf ultimately had to resolve to throw in the towel. The pressure on the event – one of the most major dates in the boating calendar - had already been nearing maximum since the Paris Boat Show: following this year’s “Le Nautic” show, most major French manufacturers had announced their defection en masse. In the fallout from this, several Italian, Finnish and even German builders took the same decision. This cascade of cancellations resulted in a major reorganization of the show halls, ahead of the actual event itself being postponed indefinitely.
