QUARTERLY
NEWSLETTER Winter 2010
PRESIDENT’S LETTER Dear Friends,
In our Fall newsletter we shared with you some of the new models that we would have on display at the Ft. Lauderdale boat show. In addition to those new models we also debuted the new Ferretti 881 Raised Pilot House (RPH), the Altura 840, the 592 Ferretti and the 560 Sport Riva at the Miami show. We are delighted to report that many of those models are now sold. Both shows proved to be very successful and we would like to thank you for your loyalty and business which are greatly appreciated.
Riva Aquariva Super 33 – New arrival from Italy! This gem of the sea features new white pearl paint. Truly beautiful.
The strategic moves we have been making for the last year have made us stronger and more responsive to your needs. We have consolidated our operations, implemented a 24 hour mobile service team and are expanding our operations in Sag Harbor and other areas. We continue to add value to our business, which in turn allows us to better meet your needs. Our next show will take place in Palm Beach on March 25-28th where we will have a selection of new Ferretti, Riva, Pershing, Mochi Craft and Bertram yachts on display in addition to our new brokerage listings. In April, we will be hosting the launch of the Bertram 800 at the Shootout in Abaco, Bahamas. Or, if polo is your sport of choice, we will be sponsoring the Miami Beach Polo Cup held on South Beach. Following in May, we will host an owners rendezvous at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo. We hope that you can join us at one of these many exciting and exclusive events. June also marks the beginning of the boating season in the Northeast. Our Sag office will be open and our plans are being finalized for spending the summer there. We are excited to tell you that we will be conducting the first Ferretti rendezvous in the Northeast and will be sure to contact those of you in the area with hopes that you will be able to join us. Until then, we wish you calm seas and pleasant days. Sincerely, Robert D. McDougal, IV President

MOCHI CRAFT LONG RANGE TECHNICAL REVIEW
Andrea Frabetti, VP of Ferretti Group’s Advanced Yacht Technology (AYT) gave a special presentation to a select group of Allied Marine customers and prospects in conjunction with the Trawler Fest boat show that was held at the Bahia Mar Yachting Center in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. It was the first time Allied customers were invited to take a ride out on the first luxury hybrid yacht. They were in awe as they were able to experience what it feels like to ride in total silence on a large luxury motor yacht during a soothing, moonlit night. Mr. Frabetti then provided our customers with one of a kind insight into the technology behind this complex & amazing vessel. It was an unforgettable experience for all of those who were able to make it on board.
