Welcome to the most Exciting Event of the Year. This is a MAJOR SL Event -- The Annual TYC Boat Show featuring working sailboats from SL's most creative people, live demonstrations, nautical vendors, special events.

Start Date: December (somewhere near the first of December - tba)
End Date: (to be determined)

* Show Features Working Sailboats

* Daily Feature Exhibits

* Live Public Demonstrations by Makers

No props, no houseboats -- although we love those too. We are focusing strictly on sailboats which actually sail in second life along with their accessories. If room permits then motor vessels may be displayed. This should be a MAJOR show and attraction to all sailboat lovers and could draw a large crowd.

Although exhibiting is free (NOTE -- commercial vendors see note below), there is a limited amount of space. We are asking that exhibitors make reservations so we can anticipate the needs. Once we know how many want to participate we can allocate spaces tent space. Reservations will be met first and anything open after that will be first come first serve

Tents will be available for accessory/apparel makers -- nautical clothing, nautical decorations, hud makers, useful scripts, yacht club organizations, etc etc

2 ) Show Catalogue
============
2008 will offer, for the first time, an official catalogue of all entries including pictures, specifications and prices. This will be published and available FREE to the entire SL community. You will want to be included in this special publication and if you're a boat lover it will be a MUST-HAVE for your table top reading.

3) Special Patron Grant

=======================
4 ) ** Note to Commercial Vendors **
=======================
Because this show will cost us a great deal of money, we are asking those people that sell their boats and assessories to give us a commission split to help defray the costs. TYC has always been a big supporter to boat builders in the past and we have always worked hard to give the best and most fun show for all of you. We know the building community will get behind this effort to showcase boat builders and boat lovers alike.
