by Sail-World Cruising on 17 Sep 2008
Southampton Boat Show SW
She's 40 but she's not over the hill yet. In fact, she's doing extremely well for an old girl. The PSP Southampton Boat Show 2008, in association with ITV Meridian, runs from 12-21 September at Mayflower Park in Southampton, and the 40th show will be enjoyed by about 135,000 people.

Top Show features for 2008 include the Hydropool Marina with nearly 400 boats; a non-stop show on the Feature stage with fashion shows, guest appearances from famous folk, and some spectacular birthday celebrations; many exhibitors offering chandlery, deck equipment, clothing, holidays, charters, etc. Visitors will be able to experience the thrill of being out on the water with the 'Try-a-boat' feature, and younger visitors will be able to try sailing as well..

Platinum Ticket:
For the more discerning visitor looking for that little bit extra, the Show will premiere the new, exclusive platinum ticket. For £85, platinum ticket holders will benefit from their own hospitality lounge throughout the day enjoying complimentary tea, coffee, lunch, and refreshments.
