Early bird tickets are on sale through the remainder of March for the Pacific Sail & Power Boat Show, which runs April 19 to 22 at the Craneway Pavilion in Richmond, California.

The show features extensive land exhibits in the Craneway hall, and in-water displays of new sail and power boats at the adjacent Marina Bay Yacht Harbor. Attendees can also register now for the Discover Sailing and Boating program, which offers sailors and would-be skippers a chance to get out on the water.

Again this year, the show will host four days of free and for-a-fee seminars on topics ranging from self-steering windvanes and safety-at-sea techniques to visiting Mexico by boat and diesel engine repair. A complete schedule is posted online.
