Newport For New Products
Applications are already coming in for our annual NEWPORT FOR NEW
PRODUCTS Program in association with Cruising World, Sailing World
and MotorBoating magazines. NFNP is the official venue for U.S. debuts
of all new boats and boating products. This industry-wide promotion
recognizes the best that’s being introduced for the 2012 model year at
NIBS. Look for the red-and-blue balloons signifying new boats/products
throughout the Show.
SAIL FOR PRIDE: Our 2011 Charitable Partner
Just days after the 9/11 attack, a group of sailors led by Scott Murray,
Mick Harvey and Brad Read founded the Sail For Pride Regatta to raise
money to support the victims and their families. And indeed they succeeded in raising over $110,000. Over the past nine years they have
continued to raise money under the name “Sail for Hope” to reflect the RI
state motto. From 2002 on, the funds were directed to support local
Rhode Island charities. This year, being the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the
name “Sail For Pride” will be brought back. NIBS is very proud to help
this wonderful organization. For more information on how you can get
involved, visit our website at newportboatshow.com.
