Chicago Strictly Sail

Post by wccorder »

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if Tatoo Yachts :tat: will be at the Chicago Strictly Sail this coming January?
I hear the show has moved from Navy Pier over to McCormick Place, and they are combining it with the Boat and RV shows.

Not sure about that but I am hoping to go. Maybe other Mac owners would like to meet at the show for a social. It would be great to meet locals from Wisconsin Illinois area.

So far they're not listed as an exhibitor.
Wonder if any local dealers will be there.
The last time I saw a Mac dealer there (Over 10 years ago.) he was pi$$ cuz other dealers sent THEIR customers to HIS booth to look at the 26Ms on display, and HE had to foot the exhibitors' bill.
Maybe this year or next multiple dealers can pool their resources for a booth.

Last time I contacted them, Tattoo, Ltd., had no plans to incur the expense of being there. A local dealer can - but no one wants to incur the expense alone. :cry:

If Tattoo is selling every hull they can make, then they really don't need to spend extra $$$ for essentially a "bigger backlog". :wink:
