Something for Everyone
“Many people don’t realize how easy and affordable it is to get involved in sailing,” explains national show manager Kevin Murphy. At Strictly Sail Miami you’ll see everything from entry-level mono-hull day sailors to mega-cats. “We are very proud to be the catamaran capital of the world with the largest selection of catamarans of any show, but there’s really something here for every taste and every budget.” We’ll feature over 100 boats in the water ranging in sizes, for sailors of every ability and budget.
Strictly Sail shows have become a resource for learning and fun, putting ‘edutainment’ at the forefront of our planning. Every Strictly Sail Show has added more interactive exhibits providing an opportunity for new sailors to learn about sailing. For the more experienced sailor, we offer more activities to improve your skills and become more confident at the helm.
Highlights of the 2008 Strictly Sail Miami will include:
Discover Sailing Center
Visitors of all ages can experience the thrill of sailing under the supervision of an experienced sailor at the Discover Sailing Center, located on a floating dock between Piers A and B at Miamarina. These free half-hour lessons will introduce non-sailors to the sailing experience, to the pleasure and joys of the sport while remaining in a controlled environment.
