Strictly Sail Miami Show In-Water Experience!

J/122E sport cruiser sailing off Newport
 (Miami, FL)- The “new” Miami Boat Show runs from February 11th to 15th with the sailboats located at Miamarina along the waterfront park.  On display will be the gorgeous new J/122E sporting jazzy red designer accents and the spectacular open, airy, modern Scandinavian interior design.  It is a sailing yacht that is truly a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”- her sisterships have won just about every major offshore race around the world.  Learn more about the exciting new J/122E “sports cruiser” here.

Also, on display will be the J/70 one-design speedster floating on the very cool “Versadock Drysail” system. J/70 owners can enjoy the pleasure of sailing within minutes, while at the same time storing their boat 100% out of the water.  The DrySail system won the "Equipment Innovation of the Year” from Yachts & Yachting Awards in 2014. It’s the perfect evolution in docking for lifting-keel sportboats like the J/70- learn more about it’s amazing benefits at the show!  Learn more about the J/70 one-design speedster here.

In addition, the new J/88 Oceanvolt will be participating in the “Discover Sailing” program being run by the Miami Boat Show.  Hop aboard and experience the pure joy of sailing the J/88 as well as the pleasure of “silent running” with all-electric power!  This eco-friendly solution can be powered by solar panels, hydro-electric regeneration, or by shore power!  Learn more about this revolutionary package here.
