Good show - seemed busier than usual. Despite a 200 mile drive, I like the venue.

As Hannah says, it was a bit of a marathon - I got quite dehydrated - and has anyone got a solution for aching feet? Lord knows how people feel after 10 days at the Excel Boat Show.

At least the break down was much quicker than last year and we avoided the north circular and so overall got home nearly 2 hours earlier than last year.

Great show and I think it should stay at the palace it's a fab venue.

My drive home was fine no holdups or delays! (I left at 9-30 though )

The show was great. The drive home took 4 and a half hours due to stupid london traffic and the m1, 2 hours north and we passsed the NEC a far better venue . Got home to wrexham 10 mins before topgear finnished i'm truely gutted!

Yea the dinghy show was great, really good atmosphere , drive home also was horrible, north circular was jammed, although further south it did free up a bit

Venue closer to M25 highly desired...

Stick it in a place where the rest of the UK are willing to attend

I totally agree, I really enjoyed the show, great stands, lots of good things to see, nice to catch up with friends etc, I like Ally Pally as a venue, it's got character and is just the right size, however getting back out of London was really hard work and puts a dampener on what was otherwise a really good day out,
