Fresh from a visit to the Cannes Boat Show (Cannes Yachting Festival, to give it its proper name), Alex and Hugo discuss the boats that caught their eye at the huge European show. And with over 140 new launches, there's plenty to choose from!

The boys also talk watches and discuss why a £30 David sometimes beats a £2000 Goliath. Plus when is an adventure boat really an adventure boat – and can there ever be a set definition?
