It was released a couple of weeks ago now, but the FT only puts out its special report on the yacht sector once a year, at the start of the Monaco Yacht Show. It always makes interesting reading as it gives an outsider’s view while still using well-known writers like David Glenn and Michael Howorth.
It looks at everything from finance to eco-issues, chartering, destinations, racing and more. Well worth a read. Go to http://www.ft.com/reports/yachts-2009 to read it online or download the whole thing as a PDF.
