BO will be returning to Scotland’s Boat Show for a fifth year, offering the latest subscription deals, Experts Live guest speakers for a second year, and – new for 2016 – we’re getting involved with the show’s inaugural Get On The Water Pavilion, showcasing affordable small boats, courtesy of the Leisure, Westerly, Moody and Hurley owners’ associations.

Editor David Pugh said: ‘Last year we had a great response when we exhibited our restored Snapdragon 23 Hantu Biru and thousands of show visitors entered a competition to win her.

‘This year we’re looking forward to sharing details of our new project – building a Secret 20 plywood gaffer from a kit.

‘Once again we’ve teamed up with RYA Scotland to host free, practical talks. We’re lucky to have such a strong line-up of industry professionals able to join us and we’re looking forward to the entertaining, informative topics.

‘On the water, we’re proud to be able to showcase some great, affordable boats from four owners’ associations. Every year, the UK’s third-largest boat show gets bigger and better, and we look forward to seeing you there.’

The show will be officially opened on Friday 14th October by HRH The Princess Royal.
