A Boatshow with Soul

As boating industry professionals we attend many boat shows over the course of a year. Some,  such as Genoa, Newport and Miami are very large and have all the glitz. Other,Mbbs more local shows are much simpler, and Sabre is by far the most elegant boat on display.

But if you are a show junkie you need to attend the Maine Boat Builders Show which takes place in Portland, Maine on March 17 to 19th. The show is held at Portland Yacht Services, located at the eastern end of the Portland waterfront.

What makes this show so different is that all of Maine’s yards, small and large, display their latest creations. The quality of the workmanship on these boats is extraordinary.

And don’t expect to be greeted by a dapper sales person at every booth. In most cases it’s the boatbuilder himself who is telling you about how he or she builds the boat. Exhibitors are encouraged to have their boatbuilders in their displays.      

So if you really want to get a boatbuilding fix, this is the show to attend. Sabre will have a Sabreline 38 Express at the show and Back Cove Yachts, our sister company will have both a 26 and a 29 Back Cove on display.
