Carbon Yachts Candela C-8 - with Chris Hrones

Chris Hrones from Carbon Yachts was one of the only brands at SCIBS taking advantage of the new rules around offering sea trials for the first time. Each day the young crew could be seen taking the foiling Candela C-8 out for a spin, flying up the Coomera River at Sanctuary Cove like a computerised bird with amazed guests on board and watchers eagerly recording from the sidelines. This burst of activity to mark the Queensland debut of the Candela C-8 gave visitors a taste of the mix of activities on offer at Cannes Yachting Festival, where prospective owners and media are invited on irresistible shakedown cruises that really give them something to write home about. We were lucky to climb aboard for a quick look.
