The opening ceremony of this year's Sail, Power and Watersports Show at Earls Court has just finished having featured a host of stars from the sailing world and the official "Get Bidding" rallying cry for BoatBid.com by famous auctioneer Nick Bonham.

The auction of 100 boats will take place over the next five days at the Show with 20 boats a day going under the hammer. Interested buyers need to view the catalogue HERE, register to bid and then get bidding! If you are going to be at the show then please come along and see the team - the stand is situated near the main stage.

Even if you are not bidding then please feel free to come along and join us for Fizz @ Five each evening of the Show. Catch up on the day's gossip, hear about the boats being auctioned and raise a glass or two of Fizz.

As always, we will be bringing you the inside track on the Show, meeting people and reporting back here so keep logging on.

The Sail, Power and Watersports Show is taking place at Earls Court, London from 26th - 30th November 2008 Click here
