Will We See You at Svendsen’s Spring Fling Show This Weekend?

Latitude 38 is looking forward to seeing sailors, readers and vendors at the Svendsen’s Spring Fling this Friday and Saturday, April 12 and 13, in Alameda. There will be a boatload of vendors on hand to answer your technical questions and help you puzzle out that spring project you are planning. If you’re thinking of doing the 30th annual Baja Ha-Ha in the fall, Spring Fling is a great time and place to look over the gear you might want to install/repair or upgrade between now and then.

We’ll be there in the Latitude 38 booth to hand out fresh new copies of our April issue, and will be sharing the show with sailing schools, yacht clubs, canvas manufacturers and more. KKMI is down the row, as well as Modern Sailing Academy, Afterguard Sailing and Cruisers Academy. It’s a great place to connect with old friends and make new ones. Plus there are prizes and raffles all day long.

There’ll be a good series of technical seminars, and if Mexico is in your future, come see Latitude 38 featured speakers and Baja Ha-Ha veterans Pat and Carol McIntosh, who will be sharing their knowledge from years in Mexico and their book, Cruising Notes – things to know before you go! They’ll be able to answer your questions on the cruising lifestyle and what to expect once you cross the border.

The show starts early! Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. So set your alarm clock and join us with your morning coffee and donuts, or kombucha and avocado toast. Alameda is the closest big island in the Pacific — come on over to get your spring/summer sailing season launched.
