Press release:


Oceantech to launch their new 36’ cruiser racer at the Barcelona boat show.

EMW Marine will be representing the UK at the Barcelona boat show on 29th – 30th October for the European launch of the Oceantech 360 performance cruising yacht.

Rochford, Essex October 19 2005: Following the successful launch of the Oceantech range at the 2005 Southampton Boat show, EMW Marine will be central to the European launch of the Malbec 360 at Barcelona’s Salon Nautico boat show. EMW Marine was delighted with the reaction to the Malbec 240 at Southampton with Yachting Monthly awarding the boat ‘Top Value Boat’ in their boat show review and they are confident that the interest in the 360 at Barcelona will be just as strong.

The 360 is the latest addition to the range that comprises the 200, 240 and the 290 cruiser racer yachts. Her performance is stunning and she is a worthy addition to the 240 and 290 which are both proven and respected performance yachts with an outstanding racing track record. The 360, also designed by Oceantech’s Pablo Mastracchio, follows many of the design principles of the other boats in the range and is an unashamed performance cruising yacht with a powerful rig and deep fin keel. A large wheel controls the deep spade rudder giving easy control and an exciting sail. The 360 has more of a focus on luxury than the smaller models in the range delivering owners all the comforts expected in a top quality 36 foot cruising yacht.

Barcelona has been chosen by Oceantech for the European launch of the 360 because of its central location and as it is one of the most popular boat shows in the European show season. EMW expects to see many UK customers at the show due to the strong British ex-patriot community in Spain and the availability of lost cost flights to Barcelona from the UK.

Brian Browne, of EMW Marine, said:

‘We were stunned with the reaction to the 240 at the Southampton show and the 360 moves the range into an entirely new market. We have seen the boat and believe that people will be convinced by the combination of performance, quality and price.’
