Set sail in Amsterdam

Sailing enthusiasts looking for a spring treat in 2007 could fly to Amsterdam for the annual HISWA Amsterdam Boat Show.

Between March 6th and 11th, tens of thousands of visitors will descend on the city's Amsterdam RAI venue to look at and buy boats and accessories of most models, shapes, colours and sizes.

A series of events will also be put on to complement the massive display of sailing vessels, with a pavilion dedicated to maritime history to be set up, as well as award ceremonies for innovation and the boat of the year.

With almost 400 exhibitors attending last year's show, boat lovers heading to Amsterdam next year will find much to occupy them, whether they are looking to purchase a boat or simply stroll around at leisure.

Visitors to Amsterdam will also be well placed to discover the delights of this Dutch city, which boasts numerous attractions, bars, restaurants, shopping facilities and more.
