Remember the annual pilgrimage by all boaties to the Earls Court boat show in the dark days of January? It was where the season started.
We all trudged through ice and snow to enjoy a great day out, meet friends at the Guinness stand, book charter holidays and see the latest in electronic and boating gear.
It’s coming back from January 7 – 10 inclusive where you will be able to visit your favourite stands, talk to the experts, see live demonstrations, join webinars, chat rooms and take advantage of offers exclusive to the show.
With a backdrop from the good old days of Earls Court, the virtual London boat show will offer visitors the chance to visit stands, chat to exhibitors live, watch demonstrations, take part in webinars and do virtually everything you could do at a physical show – except perhaps meet up at the Guinness stand.
Organised by Andy Beharrell, life-long sailor and expert of virtual technology and Beryl Chalmers, former General Manager of the Cruising Association and who has been connected with the marine industry for more than 30 years, the show has been welcomed by all those unable to be afloat this year, whether exhibitor or visitor.
All the top boat and equipment brands, big and small, have jumped at the chance to be part of the first virtual London boat show.
And – the whole event will be non profit-making.
UK Boat Show is a social enterprise. Any surplus from the event will go to support yachting and maritime charities. Profits will support:
* Sailability (sailing for disabled people)
* Marine conservation charities
* Sailing as rehabilitation charities
