St. Pete used to host a "Strictly Sail" show, which was great. A few years ago they combined with the combined show held in December. The current show is "stink potters."
San and Elton used to love the St. Pete Strictly Sail; but, after hurricane Charlie, when the Vinoy hotel marina was destroyed, the show has not quite been the same.
Plus the economy has not been favorable to Stan and General Boats. Everyone with an R22 over seven years old needs to buy a new one! {:>)

The one time I went to the Tampa Bay Boat Show--2 or 3 years ago--it was 150% power boats.
