JACK LONDON SQUARE

Strictly Sail Pacific Boat Show Features Five Days of Boats, Gear

Published: April, 2007 

OAKLAND March 20, 2007 – Strictly Sail Pacific, the largest sailboat show on the West Coast, will open at Oakland’s Jack London Square on April 18. The 11^th running of this five-day boat show will feature over 300 exhibitors and Strictly Sail’s trademark mix of an extensive marketplace combined with free seminars and special events for sailing enthusiasts of all ages. The show runs until Sun., April 22.

Strictly Sail is all sail, all the time, says Kevin Murphy of show organizer Sail America. The fleet is diverse—from small dinghies to cruisers built to go the distance offshore—and seminars are geared to every level of sailor. Our guiding principle when planning this show is simple: something for everyone.

Exhibitors traveling from around the world will bring a wide-ranging collection of boats and gear — giving showgoers a valuable opportunity to find the latest developments in sailboat design and equipment all in one locale. And built into that marketplace is plenty of opportunity for inspiration: seminars that are free with the price of admission run all five days of the show.

Expert skippers will take showgoers out for half-hour sailing excursions, which are free with the price of admission. This national program travels to events throughout the United States to introduce more individuals to the joys of sailing. To purchase tickets and for more information, visit www.strictlysail.com
