#jeanneau – To celebrate their recent appointment as Jeanneau distributors for Northern Ireland, leading Irish boat sales firm MGM Boats are rolling out an Autumn/Winter sales campaign.

The campaign features a 'Kickstart! 2015' offer. The offer is for a 2015 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 33i delivered, commissioned, launched and vat paid for just €99,950, saving the customer almost €15,000 off the full retail price.

In addition to this, MGM Boats will reimburse flights and accommodation (limitations apply) for anyone who orders a boat at the Paris boat show which runs from the 6th to the 14th of December.

'We are seeing a large increase in enquiries for new boats and with a number of hulls delivered this year we are very much looking forward to seeing what 2015 has in store. We were keen to create a special offer that represented real value to mark our appointment as dealers for Northern Ireland,' says John McDonald of MGM.

About Match Racing

A match race is a race between two competitors, going head-to-head.

In yacht racing, it is differentiated from a fleet race, which almost always involves three or more competitors competing against each other, and team racing where teams consisting of 2, 3 or 4 boats compete together in a team race, with their results being combined.

A match race consists of two identical boats racing against each other. With effective boat handling and clever use of wind and currents, a trailing boat can escape the grasp of the leader and pass. The leader uses blocking techniques to hold the other boat back. This one-on-one duel is a game of strategy and tactics.
