Riviera set for Sydney

RIVIERA will showcase for the first time in Sydney, the new 43 Open Flybridge, and will announce the company's next new model at the Sydney International Boat Show starting on July 29.

Riviera CEO John Anderson said Riviera’s latest models had been well received and the market eagerly anticipates what our next new model will be.

“The sales performance of our new models including the 5800 Sport Yacht, 5000 Sport Yacht, 51 with IPS and now the 43 with IPS have all generated a significant volume of sales,” Anderson said.

Veteran blue water sailor and Melbourne businessman, Ian Reynolds will be the guest of honour at the Riviera display with his 56 Enclosed Flybridge, Investigator IV, the vessel he used to circumnavigate Australia, which will be on display and open for inspection.

Reynolds, at the age of 79 embarked on the challenging task of circumnavigating Australia, some 9,000 miles, clockwise from the Gold Coast returning home in October 2008.

The floating Riviera display will be at the southern end of the Cockle Bay Marina, Darling Harbour from July 29 to August 2.
