"I’m no economist so won’t try to pontificate on the mechanics of a yachting bubble compared to property, dot com shares or the South Sea Company. It does strike me, though, that yachting has a few unique drivers like impatience, a good dose of bluster (to put it kindly) and general tendencies of one-upmanship."

Will the bonus boom buoy the super yacht market ?
Boat International Brokerage Editor Malcolm MacLean reported several recent sales with key players like Camper & Nicholson, YPI, Burgess, Fraser Yacht and Edmiston.
The Wealth Bulletin reported that "A wave of around £6bn ($9.9) in bonuses expected to be distributed to City financiers in spring will support London's prime property market in areas such as Chelsea and Kensington, although the mainstream market is expected to continue to decline."
However, a Savill representative said that "The question is whether bonuses will be paid enough in cash versus equity".
