RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show 20qy

Originally posted by tgruitt Originally posted by craiggo The post event coverage is a bit weak. I didn't attend this year due to another commitment but am very interested to see what went on, but it's no where. Last year having spent a whole day on a stand I was keen to see the pics from around the show. I contacted Mr Gruitt on social media to see when he was going to provide a slideshow but he implied that he was putting something together for a publication and I'd see it shortly but nothing! I was at the show filming with Mark Jardine, two videos went up on the Saturday with 5 or 6 viewable on Y&Y.com at the moment. I do not recall any social media contact about a slideshow, I wasn't photographing the show so woulnd't have ever agreed to that.

Tom, I sent you a Facebook message asking if you were going to put your photos up from the show, but that's by the by.

The point I was making is that often the sailing community want to see the pics even if they were at the show, because it's easy to miss stuff. It's also good to start discussions around specific boats or features on boats.

Nice Moth interview. Especially the elderly chap looking at the boat during it!

This year I've seen nothing so far other than the grumbles about the Flying 10.

The expectation is that media will be available instantly, after all I guess many people came back from the show, dumped all their pics on Flickr etc. And shared with their mates. Media businesses like Y&Y need to be going one better than your local club amateur photographer and getting the content out almost live.

I think waiting for a magazine doesn't really work these days Jim. The multi media content should all be out there on the internet by now in my opinion.

For example, contrast the coverage of the dinghy show with Pistonheads coverage of the Geneva motor show which happened days apart.
