The 65th Annual Seattle Boat Show January 27- February 5
The 65th Annual Seattle Boat Show
has something for everyone. If you wakeboard, waterski, fish, kayak, cruise or race, under power or sail, on boats small or large, want to trick out your boat with new gear or hone your skills at seminars, this show’s for you. This year’s show also promises tons
of opportunities for boaters to indulge their inner techie as so many advances have been made in electronics and software in the past year. Some highlights include: Simrad’s new 4G Broadband Radar
at the Yacht Masters’ booth. This truly dual range radar has two processors in it allowing a boater to have one range set at a mile for close in targets while the other range can be six miles for longer range planning. Also at Yacht Masters will be Flir’s new First Mate MS hand held thermal imagine camera. The Flir First Mate MS fits in the palm of your hand and turns the blackness of night into daylight. Miller & Miller Boatyard will have
the world’s first touch screen wireless AIS transponder, the WatchMate Vision™ from Vesper. DMK Yacht Instruments will be
displaying their DMK 11A, an electronics device with inputs for NMEA 0183, AIS, NMEA 2000, and Seatalk. Once wired to the vessel, it sends data packets via a wireless connection to a mobile device like an iPad or iPhone. Raymarine will have their new e7D.
It is a compact yet powerful navigation solution for recreational and light commercial boaters. Less techie, but no less useful to the boater, will be the display of Prodeco
folding electronic bikes from Seattle E-Bike. Eleven of the 13 Prodeco models fold at the frame, and at the stem, making them very compact. It takes 30 seconds to fold them, 30 seconds to unfold them and get on your way. The seminars are always a huge
attraction at the show and 2012 is no different. No other show in North America matches the Seattle seminar schedule in terms of the quality, variety and volume of seminars offered. There are more than 200 seminars during the course of the show and advanced seminars through Boat Show University for a nominal fee. See the following pages for a complete listing of all seminars.
