See the Main Stage Experience
The Main Stage, powered by Fairline, promises to be packed full of spectacles and events that are sure to capture the imagination of visitors to the Show.
Situated right in the centre of the bustling North Hall, the Main Stage will act as a focal point for the Show. The crowning glory will be the dazzling Sea Queen Stage Show – an aerial spectacular that will transform the main stage into a stunning sea of blue and green. The show will be performed by a host of energetic circus dancers and daring stilt-walkers dressed as sea creatures who will perform athletic acrobatics and acro-balance along to an uplifting musical score.
None of the drama is lost when the stage alternates between the Sea Queen performance and a slick catwalk show featuring big name popular clothing brands such as Fat Face, Musto, Gill, Henri Lloyd and Figleaves.com.
The spotlight will then turn to boating legends Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, Geoff Holt, Adrian Flanagan and Mike Golding who during the Show will take to the main stage to share stories of their daring adventures at sea. Everyday heroes will be celebrated with representatives from the Port of London Authority and the Marine & Coastguard Agency who will share what a typical day in their lives is like in the ‘Life as a…’ feature.
Making its screen debut at the Collins Stewart London Boat Show will be Boat Review 2007 – a boating montage of the year projected on the main stage’s big screen. Boat Review 2007 is a thrilling show taking the viewer on a rollercoaster ride through the year, as seen by the boating world. Footage will bring 2007 to life reliving the highs as well as the lows, the excitement, the drama at sea and the awards our sailing heroes have won and lost. Featuring special guest appearances from some of the biggest names in sailing, Boat Review 2007 is sure to be enjoyed by both professionals and those who simply love being out on the water.
As well as celebrating modern crafts, visitors to the Show will get the unique opportunity to hear about the restoration of one of the nation’s much loved treasures, the Cutty Sark, which is being painstakingly rebuilt using both state of the art technology and centuries old techniques, after the devastating fire that nearly destroyed her earlier on this year.
Inspiring sailors of the future, the coveted Raymarine Young Sailor of the Year Awards will be announced on Saturday 12th January at 4pm live from the Main Stage. Olympic hopefuls from Skandia Team GBR will also take to the stage to talk about their gruelling preparations for the forthcoming Games in Beijing.
Around this exciting hive of activity, visitors will also have the opportunity to catch their breath and sample refreshments at the bar area which nestles alongside the main stage. Perfectly situated in front of the stage, the spacious seating enables visitors to catch all the exciting features in comfort.
