News Flash - Al Barnes on TV, Full Story at 11

What a crazy day. None of us had time to stop. Nobody ate. Al and Rocket Boats were interviewed for European TV. A couple of magazines came by for interviews and photos and a non stop stream of people were around the boat from start to finish. Almost too many folks were coming by so that we couldn't really spend as much time with them as we would have liked. But before anyone asks, there were no contracts signed today, although we did get some very firm commitments from a couple of guys for later in the year. And then there were the folks who kept coming back with more questions or to take photos or to show someone else the boat. We're learning from some of the other companies here that unless you are a Beneteau or Catalina, for example, most people follow up later. This has been our experience at other shows like Annapolis where we sold a couple of boats but didn't sign any contracts until a few weeks after the show. And also a lot of people want to go for a test sail first, which is not unreasonable. We will be coming to Charleston Race Week in April and then will be around for a couple of weeks after that for demo sails. If anyone wants to work a sail in then please let us know as soon as possible so that we can coordinate schedules.
