Amsterdam, 11 March 2010 – Watersports fans and companies have regained their confidence after a difficult year in the industry. The atmosphere at the HISWA Amsterdam Boat Show 2010, which took place from 2 to 7 March in Amsterdam RAI, was positive from the moment the doors opened.

Amsterdam, 3 March 2010 - The winner of the HISWA Innovation Award 2010 is the Rescue Laser Flare, imported by Bomarine (Voorburg, NL). The flare was described by the jury as a major addition to the existing emergency equipment for search and rescue operations. The Motorboat of the Year Award was presented to the Greenline Hybrid (imported by Nova Yachting, Bruinisse, NL), which the jury called a daring concept.
