Press release from Vizual Marine

For Immediate Release

27^th September 2006

Launch of Artemis 20 at Southampton Boat Show a resounding success!

Despite a fire at the boat yard, a tight timescale and some last minute stand construction, the launch of the stylish Artemis 20 was a resounding success at Southampton Boat Show!

With photographers and journalists spilling out onto the walkways around the stand, the first major press event for the 6M contemporary Artemis 20 marked the start of an overwhelming week for the small Chichester based team of Vizual Marine.

With the support of Artemis 60 skipper Brian Thomson, paralympian sailor Helena Lucas and the announcement from Hilary Lister that she has selected the Artemis 20 for her Round Britain and Ireland Challenge in the summer of 2007 this was project tipped to turn heads during the boat show. And it did.

“It would be fair to say that this boat show has surpassed our expectations. From the amount of interest on day one, through to the last Sunday we have been overwhelmed by the quality of enquiries the Artemis 20 has received.” Commented Vizual Marine Director. Dave Rutter. “We know our boat is unique and its potential, but we didn’t visualise the concept being accepted so readily onto the market place.”

The company has seen the £22,000 +VAT (including sails) boat fly through the design and build process to the completion of 3 brand new boats in just a nine month timescale.
