SHOW PREVIEW

Superyacht Norlhwesl '94

The Northwest Yacht Network Gathers For Exhibition

Some of the world's most luxuri- ous yachts will convene at the

Kirkland Yacht Club Marina in an exclusive gathering of Pacific North- west yacht builders, naval archi- tects, designers and equipment manufacturers — all to showcase the talents of this leading Ameri- can superyacht region. The second annual in-water display of multi- million-dollar yachts built and/or designed in the Northwest, the event is an opportunity for prospec- tive yacht owners and their agents to explore new shipbuilding and design contracts.

Fifteen or more superyachts will be open for tours during the three- day show, along with exhibits from 50 regional companies that service the superyacht industry.

According to the show's organiz- ers, the U.S. produces more superyachts than any other country in the world.

More than 4,000 people from around the world attended the first

Superyacht Northwest in 1993.

Chuck Worst of Northern Marine

Electronics summed up the event: "By bringing together megayacht owners, captains, suppliers and qualified prospective buyers, more has been done for the local economy and marine industry than anything else in recent history. This is a super boost for the Northwest." As a result of the 1993 show, two yachts were sold and six buyers entered into pre- contract discussions with builders.

Superyacht Northwest '94 will bring together the area's yacht builders, designers, suppliers at potential owners. The show will be in Kirkland, Wash.
