The 2010 Sydney International Boat Show kicks off today, all the signs point to a better than expected event.
Below is a brief rundown of what's on at this year's show...
Nautilus Fishing Clinic:
Designed to educate and inform visitors about better fishing techniques, the clinic will run non-stop during the show. Featuring a line up of some of Australia’s well known fishing experts and identities, the clinic will be a haven of information for anyone with a passion, or even a mild interest in the sport.
Marine Precinct:
Marine education and information area about Marine Rescue NSW, NSW Water Police, Marine Parks, Surf Life Saving, Westpac Lifesaver Service, A.M.S.A., The Australian Hydrographic Office and Fisheries.
Jessica Watson:
Solo sailor Jessica Watson, who, just in case you hadn’t heard, circumnavigated the world by sail in less than eight months.
Boat Building Competition:
The Shipwrights and Boat builders Associations annual Boat Building Competition has become a tradition that both the industry and visiting public look forward to. Take teams of two shipwrights, give them limited tools and materials and set them the task of building a boat in two hours. The competition, whilst mostly light hearted, can be quite fierce.
Photo Competition:
Boaties share photos with visitors to the show with the opportunity to win prizes for those images selected as being the best.
Fashion Parades:
The Musto Fashion Parade will show visitors the latest gear both in leisure, swimwear and technical clothing.
The 2010 Sydney International Boat Show opens the doors at 10am on Thursday, July 29.
Both the halls and the Cockle Bay Marina will open at 10am on each of the five days, but closing times vary; the Darling Harbour Exhibition Centre’s halls close at 8pm, but activities cease on the marina at 6pm.
