SALON NAUTIQUE PARIS
From 8th December to 16th, the Salon Nautique Paris on the south side of Paris will again present one of the world's most spectacular sailboat shows. J/Europe will be displaying the J/70, the J/97 and the J/111. You will get a chance to speak to many top French sailors who've been trained on J/22s, J/24s and J/80s over the course of time. And, you'll get a chance to "talk shop" with winners of SPI Ouest, La Rochelle Race Week, RORC Fastnet Race and many others who are renowned in the French offshore sailing community. Furthermore, J/Europe is hosting cocktails & hors'd'oeuvres for J/111 owners and potential customers to discuss plans for the 2013 European J/111 Circuit. For more Paris Sailboat Show information
TULLET-PREBON LONDON BOATSHOW
After the New Year, it's time to make plans for two things: #1 is go sailing in Key West Race Week to get a tan, enjoy spectacular Carribean-style sailing off the Florida Keys and then #2 is go to the London Boatshow and catch up with all your European friends with a tan to-die-for and tell a few war-stories over a pint or so of Guinness! OK, maybe not for everyone, but it's a great idea?!
On display at the Key Yachting booth will be the newly "International J/111" (more news later) and the new J/70 speedster, J/Boats' latest entry to the sportboat world that is gaining healthy momentum quite quickly. Perhaps most significantly, the J/70 will be a new "SPITFIRE", supporting the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund. Featured will be the Royal Air Force SPITFIRE Team that is headed-up by Wing Commander Simon Ling. For more London Sailboat Show information
