"Countdown to Sailboat and Windsurf Show 2002!"
Yes, it's nearly time for the friendliest show in the land! This year's Show
is on 2 and 3 March, at London's Alexandra Palace.
From modest beginnings the Sailboat and Windsurf Show has grown into the
Britain's biggest Show dedicated to racing sailboats, recreational dinghy
sailing and windsurfing.
Every year it's different - with the latest technology and the newest boats
and boards all on show.
"Achieve your best on the water"
This year's theme brings "live" at the Show the best in Sports
Physiotherapists, Psychologists and Nutritionists. We've also got some of
the best performers on the water to help visitors reach their personal
goals, even if that's just getting on the water once in a while!
"Talk technical"
For those who like to be in the know there's a new feature at the Show.
Each day the Sail and Windsurf Smart Tour will set off round the show.
Throughout the day experts will stop off at a variety of dinghy and windsurf
stands to give lively talks on all the latest news and coaching hints.
You can't be serious!
It's not all technical though! There's energetic entertainment on the "Live"
stage with fashion shows, star interviews, competitions and presentations.
One of the highlights will be a Coaching Blind Date, a unique contest to win
a free day on the water with one of our top coaches! There'll be Blind
Dates for dingy, windsurfing and cat coaching!
The word on the water
The latest buzz in windsurfing is Team 15! We're pleased to say the Show
will host the official preview of this dynamic, fun face of youth
windsurfing.
There'll also be a celebrity launch of the new RYA National Sailing Scheme.
Clubbing and Partying
No, not that sort of Clubbing! We're talking about Clubs - and not just
idle talk. The popular Commodores Conference has a host of top speakers to
help clubs maximise benefits and enjoyment for members.
But there will be partying at the Show. The Show will have "regatta" feel
on Saturday afternoon, with a roving band, hospitality on the stands and
live entertainment and pay bars n the Palm Court when the show closes.
The bare facts
If you're on the water you must be at the Show. Call the Ticket Hotline
now!
