See Sailing World's (US) Boat of the Year for yourself! - Richard Gladwell Click Here to view large photo One of the features of the show this year are the interactive shows that are conducted in the Cruising and Safety Hall each day, in the old Team New Zealand base. The full schedule is contained in the official boat show program. Make sure you drop into the Sail-World stand, just inside the Halsey Street entrance. We are running Sail-World live from the show - so it's a great opportunity to see first hand how Sail-World is put together.
