Here’s an opportunity to go offshore without leaving Canada by taking in this year’s Toronto International Boat Show, January 20-29. The Canadian entrant to the 2020 Vendee Globe, round the world solo race, Sandy Macpherson, and his team are back again with the most interactive experience ever.

Sail an Open 60 “virtually” through our VR experience. Try on some ocean racing gear. Meet the team and find out how you can sail on Canada’s fastest sailboat. Live stream of the 2016 Vendee Globe finishers will also be shown at our booth!

Location: Booth 1442 in Sailfest Hall D, this January 2017!
