Greetings!  

Welcome to our Signature Yachts July 2010 Newsletter!
 
Signature Yachts First Annual Summer Fleet Rendezvous
July 30-August 1, 2010
Port Ludlow, Washington
 
rendezvousWho's Invited? 
The skipper and crew of any yacht, new or used, purchased from Signature Yachts.
 
Over the years, we have represented an array of the big names in sailing and power yachts.  While we have enjoyed annual rendezvous events for individual brands, we think it would be fun for our customers and for us to get our valued clients and their yachts together regardless of what kind they bought.  New boats, brokerage boats, trade-in boats, sail, power, or motorsailer, big or small - all these yachts have at least one thing in common: owners and crews who love life on the water and sharing the fellowship of the sound and sea.
 
We've made arrangements with Port Ludlow to set aside moorage for our group for Friday and Saturday nights, July 30 and 31.  On Friday evening, we'll co-host, with your help, an informal social hour on the dock.  Saturday we'll host a continental breakfast.  During the day on Saturday, there'll be some fun activities plus roaming employees from CSR Marine, to help you with issues on or questions about your boat.  

The CSR Bow Thruster Blender At WorkSaturday afternoon, the CSR gang will be breaking out their famous - or infamous - Bow Thruster Blender and their favorite margarita recipe.  Whether or not you partake of the beverage, you'll want to see this big blender in operation.  Saturday night, Bring something to barbecue, perhaps a dish to share, and we'll provide the rest of the fixin's for a mid-summer dinner.  On Sunday morning, the Signature Yachts crew will be up early to prepare and serve our trademark blueberry pancake breakfast!
 
Why Do This?
To mix, mingle and share a casual, fun weekend with some of the best people we know -- our customers.
 
How To Join In?
Contact Port Ludlow Marina to reserve your moorage.  Moorage is $1 per foot per night.
Toll free: 1 800 308 7991.  Call by July 15 to ensure getting a space.   Anchorage in the bay is plentiful and FREE!
 
Then, so we'll know how many to plan for, call us at Signature so we'll know that you are coming. Give us a call at te office (206) 284-9004 or send us an email at service@signature-yachts.com.

Signature Yachts resigns Hunter Dealership effective July 31, 2010

After representing Hunter Marine for 12 years, we've reluctantly decided not to renew our dealer agreement for the 2011 model year. The people and products of Hunter have been wonderful and we have enjoyed our long time association with their brand. It was a both a difficult and challenging
decision but one we had to take in light of the current banking environment and economic conditions.
 
We'll continue to service our Hunter products under warranty and we look forward to working together with Hunter's new dealership once they appoint a new dealer for our area. We will continue
to actively list and sell pre-owned Hunter boats in our region and we look forward to continue our services to all of our owners.
 
As of this writing we have two new Hunters in stock and available at tremendous savings! Our new Hunter Edge MotorSailer and Hunter 36 are ready for your summer in the islands! Full Warranties apply! Our dealership will end effective July 31st, 2010.
 
Hunter owners, please join us for our Signature Yachts Fleet Rendezvous July 30-Aug 1st in Port Ludlow.

"I have been with Signature Yachts since returning from my 2 1/2 year sailing trip to the South Pacific in 2001. Sailing and boating has always been an important part of my life, beginning early in the Puget Sound area and offshore. I grew up aboard a Hallberg-Rassy 41 that we sailed for 2 years from Seattle to the Caribbean in the late 70s. Sailing has continued to be my focus, I currently own a 1956 Ben Seaborn 51' custom sloop with my brother. After sailing her throughout our beautiful local waters for five years, the prospect of more offshore adventures inspired me to outfit "Sea Fever" and set off for New Zealand and the South Pacific for 2 1/2 years. I love sharing that passion and would love to help you find your "dream" boat whether its for sailing our beautiful local waters or if your plans include heading offshore."
