The Whyte and Mackay Earls Court Boat Show
26 November 2007 - 10:46
The Whyte and Mackay Earls Court Boat Show is a family-friendly environment that celebrates our love of the water: from rowboats to powerboats to super yachts, the show will embrace all the communities engaged in activities on rivers, canals, lakes and the sea.
With an emphasis on the British pioneering and record-breaking spirit, the show will feature courageous celebrities like Ben Fogle, James Cracknell and Tony Bullimore, alongside entertainment hosted by Gabby Logan and Katie Derham.
The show will promote several world record breaking launches and there will be several historic exhibits: including Sir Francis Chichester’s Gypsy Moth and Ernest Shackleton’s James Caird.
The show is sponsored by Whyte and Mackay – who’s owner Dr Vijay Mallya, the self professed, ‘King of Good Times’ sees the merit of sponsoring the Boat Show: “The Boat Show encompasses a lot of different types of people. There are people who want small chandlery items or small boats and people who are interested in larger boats or are brokers.
These are my target customers for the portfolio of Whyte & Mackay brands. Sponsoring the Boat Show is a sensible and very powerful tool.” The show is supporting several charities including Breast Cancer Care and The Prince of Wales’s personal charity, The Prince’s Trust.
