Southampton Boat Show Daily Deal Update!

Well the first day of the Southampton Boat Show was it's usual fast paced and unpredictable self. The sun made a guest appearance from around mid day onwards and the whole of Southampton was basked in blue skies and glorious heat, which was a very pleasant surprise.

It was lovely and busy on both of our stands B017 & D010, and our 1st daily deal seemed to be a real winner. Click here for more details on Daily Deal Number 1.

What's also great is the fact that we have 5 shops all within 10 miles of the Boat Show, so we're able to get you stock or reserve stock in our shops for you. This service always seems to be an unexpected bonus for some customers, so definitely worth remembering.

Plus on the outside stand every day we've got a rigging and splicing display from one of our Aladdin's Cave Riggers. Monday to Friday will be Craig, and at the weekends will be Chris. Not only will they be happy to give advice and show you how to splice, but any rope bought on the stand will be entitled to a free splice there and then. You can read more about Aladdin's Cave rigging by clicking here.

We've added some pictures of the first day of the show on our Facebook Page, you can view those by clicking here. Remember to "Like Us", then you can add your own pictures or comments to our Wall.
