FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 16, 2007, Fullerton, California USA Seabrook Texas Sailboat Dealer, to Represent Pacific Seacraft and Saga Yachts Higgins, Smythe, and Hood, located in the Seabrook Shipyard near Houston, TX is the latest new dealer to be appointed by well known luxury sailboat builder, Pacific Seacraft and Saga Yachts. Pacific Seacraft builds the two distinctly different brands of cruising yachts in Southern California. Founded 30 years ago, Pacific Seacraft acquired the Saga line (formerly built in Canada) last year; and in recent months been busy expanding its dealer presence into key sailing regions across the country. Pacific Seacraft’s marketing director, Jerry Cann commented on the recent appointment, “Historically the Texas market has always been good to Pacific Seacraft; and the Saga line also has sold well here too --- even without any previous dealer representation. We feel that discriminating Texas sailors will now benefit from having one the most knowledgeable dealers representing the very best in true blue water sailing yachts. ” “The team at Higgins, Smythe, and Hood is uniquely qualified to market our products. Led by its two major principles, Beverly Van Zandt, who is active in junior and woman’s sailing in the area; and Jeremy Hood, who is a frequently published author of ocean sailing articles and “how-to” books – this group has a combination of blue water cruising knowledge and solid experience that no other dealership on the Gulf coast can match.” Cann added. In the spring, Higgins, Smythe and Hood will be taking delivery of a new 2007 Saga 409. The Saga 409 has proven sales appeal with performance cruising sailors who favor a sporty modern style and yet still demand the quality, confidence, comfort and safety of a Pacific Seacraft built yacht -- whether it’s out for a lazy day sail or a quick crossing to the Yucatan. The 409 has proven to be one of the best selling Pacific Seacraft models. Currently on order and due to arrive later in the year is Pacific Seacraft’s latest new model introduction, the P-38. Created by acclaimed designer Robert H. Perry, the P-38 is optimized for cruising couples with wanderlust and traditional values. True to its Pacific Seacraft heritage the P-38 can cross oceans in style with safety, speed, and range that one would generally expect from a considerably larger and hence, more expensive yacht. The entire Pacific Seacraft product lineup, from the mighty little Dana 24, to the 2006 Caribbean 1500 Rally winning Pacific Seacraft 40 (both W.I.B.Crealock designs), and including the magnificent Saga 48-2 flagship (yet another Bob Perry design) are all now available through Higgins, Smythe, and Hood. Stop by and get all the details and great deal from the friendly crew in Seabrook.
