FREE Sail, Power and Watersports Show Preview on the streets

by Peta Stuart-Hunt 20 Nov 2008 19:32 GMT 26-30 November 2008

Pick up your FREE souvenir Show Preview with every Evening Standard today. The 16 page colour supplement will be full of information about what to see and do at the 2008 Sail, Power & Watersports Show with a floor plan to help you navigate your way through the different zones at the Show.

Featured on the front page is a spectacular photograph taken by Kos Evans, whose work will be on display at the Show. It shows a Honda F4SA powerboat dramatically circling a Sailtime Beneteau yacht, and both Honda F4SA and Sailtime will also be exhibiting at Earls Court.

It's all about affordable boating...

Visitors to the Show will have the opportunity to meet yacht brokers in the Yachtworld Brokers Village by the pool, and pick up details on some great deals.

A host of international manufacturers will be represented including Sunseeker (Sunseeker London), Moody, Elan and Island Packet (Premier Yacht Sales) and Windy (pictured) through Berthon International. The Yachtworld Brokers Village can be found between the Pool and the GUINNESS Bar.

Much of the Show is devoted to entry level boating with a large range of watersports accessories and small craft on display.
