SAN DIEGO – This year’s San Diego Sunroad Boat Show – Jan.23-26 – will offer a variety of activities, seminars and entertainment, to go along with an impressive in-water display of more than 125 boats. The show, held at the newly reno-
vated Sunroad Resort Marina, will fea- ture free boat rides, free sailing lessons from Seaforth Boat Rentals and free rides on an 18-foot electric boat. In addition, several new seminars
are expected to be well attended by boat show guests. Boat owners can learn the inner workings of a bilge pump during “Confessions of a Bilge Pump – What Really goes on in an Engine Room,” which will be led by
Dockside Yacht Repair Manager, Rick Krug of APS Marine Services and Equipment. The one-hour technical lecture will touch on many aspects of boat maintenance and repair. Some of the subjects covered will be plumb- ing systems, bilge pumps, electrical systems, galvanic corrosion and engine maintenance. Another new addition, is a talk on “Power Management for the Green Sailor,” presented by Mike Gunning of Electric Yachts. This semi- nar will address ways to provide for and how to manage power for the sailor who wishes to reduce their car- bon footprint while expanding their sailing capabilities. Capt. Pat Rains, author of cruising guide author and yacht delivery skip- per, will return with a seminar on “Mexico: Let’s Go “Commuter Cruising,” where attendees will find out all they need to know about plan- ning a cruise to Mexico.
