OK you guys.....time to show your stuff. WHO OUT THERE IS "CONNECTED"? Help me find more sponsors to really make this event go off. I have some great ones already lined up that you'll be hearing about soon...but the more the merrier. We want sponsors to attend the event. What kind of sponsors? Well anything "Trailer Sailor related". For instance: Sailmaker, Rigging Person, any kind of boat product like West System stuff or whatever if it applies to our boats, Aftermarket products for trailer sailors...whatever. Have you recently purchased new sails?, new boat?, new accesories? Get on the horn with the guys you just spent your $$$$ with and tell them that they ought to come to this event. The hotel has the facilities right on the water to put on a full vendor/manufacturer show. I was thinking that this would still be a few years before we grew the event that big...but...it seems you guys are coming so let's get them coming too! The key to getting them here is having the connection. I have only dealt with so many of them, but between us all we've dealt with most of them! Make them aware of the event, of how it is growing like crazy, and that you think it would be A GREAT place for them to come display their products of services. We have boats and crews coming from Arizona, California, Oregon, Nevada, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, even Texas and Wyoming! We are only a 2.5 hour drive from the airport in Las Vegas...that might even entice a few! Also, if you know of anyone that is trying to make the decision of what trailer sailor is right for them before they make a purchase...tell them to come on down also. They can fly into Vegas, spend a day, then drive the 2.5 hours to Havasu. They can even join in on the group hotel rates. In one place they will be able to see Catalinas, Capris, Montgomerys, Compacs, West Wight Potters, Sanibles, MacGregors, and who knows what else might show up...that's just a list of the already confirmed atendees! Where else will they be able to see them all, side by side, on the water, and talk to the folks that sail them....and hopefully some of the folks that build them! Now that's doing your homework before buying a boat! OK...So get to work....Let me know any ideas you have or contacts you may have made re: above. I'll follow up every lead you give me. We are pushing the 40 boat mark now! Woohoo...I'm excited!! Check out the website to see who's coming!
