The and Dive Middle East Exhibition show starts on March 10th at Westin Dubai, and will run alongside the Gulf Boating Conference.  Donald Starkey, one of the world’s leading yacht designers, expects the boat show to inject life into the boating industry.

Starkey, who is the founder of internationally renowned Donald Starkey Design, said “Whilst we are experiencing the most difficult times ever in the leisure marine industry, new technologies and a focus on more environmentally-preferred engineering could be a catalyst to help move the market forward.”  Mr. Starkey will use his keynote address at the sixth Boating Conference to tell delegates about green marine technological developments and projects to be unveiled at the show.
