Rhumb Line Yacht Sales, in conjunction with Stuart Yacht Sales (our “sister” company) is holding an Open House, January 23-24, 2010.  We will have several used ’04, ’05 and ’06 PDQ 34s and an ’08 PDQ 41 on display for your viewing convenience.  You will be able to do a side-by-side comparison of the various model years and, if you are ready to “lock in” a PDQ for cruising in 2010, this is the opportunity to negotiate the best price!

We also will have guest speakers during both days, discussing ICW, Bahamas and Jimentos cruising, along with a PDQ maintenance Q & A session,  a seminar of using a yacht broker and slide presentation on the 2007 Baltic flotilla will also be scheduled.

In addition, for those interested, we will be giving sea trials (maximum 2 couples per ride) on the Pearson-enhanced PDQ 34 in the South Fork of the St. Lucie River. We ask that you make an appointment for the sea trial.

This event is being scheduled concurrent with the PDQ Owners Gathering,  so you will have an opportunity to ask owners, first-hand, why they chose a PDQ over other trawlers. It's also a fantastic time to chat with owners about their real-life experiences on their PDQ.

Come prepared to see and get savvy.  We will also arrange for lunch and beverages to be available, so you will not have to leave the premises, unless you choose to do so. The event will be held at Stuart Yacht (450 SW Salerno Rd) located approximately 2 miles from the I95/Exit 101 ramp.  Also at this exit are two hotels, the Holiday Inn Express (772 287 2522) and the Courtyard by Marriott (772 781 3344).

To better address YOUR needs for the day, please complete the registration form and email your particulars ASAP. Should you have any questions, please email carol@rhumblineyachtsales.com or call Dick at 772 486 2250.
