The first exhibiting country is of course Germany (960), followed by the Netherlands (138), Italy (115) and France (93), in 4 e position. An important representation since 65 countries exhibit at the Düsseldorf boat show. So who are the French present in Germany? Small or large shipyards? Sailing or motor? Boats or equipment?
Among the French exhibitors, we find mostly the shipyards, of rather important size, even if some shipyards with human size are of the part, like Rhéa Marine or La Gazelle des Sables.
