BC Place
BACK HOME AND
BETTER THAN EVER!
Western Canada’s premiere boat show
celebrates its 50th anniversary this year by
returning to its roots—now bigger and bet-
ter than ever! After a temporary relocation
last year, the 2012 Vancouver International
Boat Show is back home at the newly reno-
vated, state-of-the-art BC Place, where it
will feature an all-new and exciting layout
that’s larger than ever before!

Hatfield
“TAKING ON THE WORLD ALONE”
Derek Hatfield knows all about the courage, perseverance and determination it
takes to sail around the world alone—
he’s only the 126th person to have ever
done it. In May of 2003, after eight gruelling months at sea, he completed more
than 28,700 nautical miles in the “Around
Alone” Single-Handed Yacht Race. His 1st
in fleet and 3rd place overall in Class II
finish—despite major obstacles—quickly
earned him a name as Canada’s premiere
solo ocean racer; since then, he’s represented Canada in three single-handed
around the world races. Join Derek at the
Vancouver International Boat Show where
he’ll talk about his podium finish and
record-breaking Velux 5 Oceans Single
Handed Round the World Yacht Race,
and share his next steps in a decade-long
career that has spanned over 200,000 nautical miles single handed racing.
Derek will be speaking on Stage 2:
