SAN DIEGO YACHT AND BOAT SHOW

Produced by Southern California Marine Association

What better place to have a mid-season boat show that captures the energy of outdoor summer fun on the water than the seaside recreation Mecca of Southern California itself, San Diego?

Come on over on July 24-27 for this big event (and a chance to beat the heat!).

Now in its fourth year, this boat show venue blends the elegance and serenity of beautiful Harbor Island and the luxurious Sheraton Hotel with the inescapable enthusiasm of people enjoying an active, outdoor lifestyle that has become synonymous with San Diego. The Harbor Island setting offers boat show attendees the opportunity to feel, touch and become immersed in the environment with hundreds of new and brokerage powerboats and sailboats, in-the-water and on-land.

Marine accessory products are also in abundance in a special on-land expo area immediately adjacent to the boats. Unquestionably, the SAN DIEGO YACHT and BOAT SHOW has established itself as a premier event among Southwest boaters.

Adjacent to the Sheraton Hotel, & Marina, Harbor Island

Love To Boat, But Don't Want To Own One Yet ?

Bartlett Lake Boat Club Offers The Perfect Solution
by Carol Allen

Editor’s Note: In a recent stay in one of Bartlett Lake’s relaxing Aqua lodges, Jim and I had a chance to talk with Bryan and Eric Church about the growing interest in their Boat Club. The concept is simple and very appealing to those who want to go boating but have no desire to actually own their own boats — or cannot make that commitment at present. The Bartlett Lake Boat Club was thoroughly explained to us while we were there, and we wanted to pass on the possibilities to our readers.

During the downturn in economy, many who love to boat on Arizona’s beautiful lakes, to fish the plentiful waters, and to recreate with their families feel thwarted by the costs of owning their own boats. They are discouraged that the joys of, for example, introducing their children to water recreation seem beyond their means at the present time. For the complete story and lots of pictures please go to
Bartlett Lake Boat Club





 A CINDERELLA STORY -- And, here she is on her launch day in May 2006, after 25 months of exterior restoration at a cost of $235K. Owner Garry L. George, M.D. of San Diego had the work done at Koehler Kraft on Shelter Island Drive and plans to continue restoration when he "recovers." George has expressed interest in the Rock The Boat project, especially the move of the 1952 Chris-Craft from San Diego Bay to Mesa, Ariz. Now called Nostalgic Splendor, this 1953 Chris-Craft is an inspiration to all who are involved with the Rock The Boat project. If Kathleen can become Nostalgic Splendor, then the 1952 "sister ship" can become a second "Cinderella" to benefit Superstition Search & Rescue.


JOIN US -- Shown with the Chris-Craft Scorpion is one of the Rock The Boat sponsors Darla Bardelli of Outdoors Arizona and Outdoors In America radio shows. Bardelli is also participating in the 2008 Women's Bassmaster Tour and edits the "Tight Lines" section of Arizona Boating & Watersports. Anyone interested in joining Bardelli as a Rock The Boat sponsor may call (480) 947-6219 for more information.


 A SIMILAR SCENARIO -- Garry L. George, M.D., of San Diego had a dream similar to that of Jim Allen. He also felt the value of the early '50s Chris-Craft shown here. According to George, "I think these boats will be very valuable some day [when] restored." Kathleen is now Nostalgic Splendor and bears a striking resemblance to her nearly "sister ship" of the Rock The Boat project.






GO, DEVILS! -- This is the new ASU Bass Fishing Team shirt, showing the sponsors -- including Arizona Boating & Watersports.
