Sailboat-Direct.com is part of a larger network of integrated sites to allow professionals (boat dealers, brokers) as well as individuals to place classified ads related to the yachting industry.

Our network includes other sites to post classified ads for:

• Motor boat and yachts.
• Docks and slips for sale or lease. 
• Crew Seeker ads (professional crews and individuals) 
• Charter online reservation. (allows small charter companies or individual boat owners to maintain an online reservation and planning for their boats)
  

Our state-of-the-art web architecture allows to propose several new services to clients.

• Post classified ads on sites 
• Boat dealer or broker can purchase or lease a white or branded version of our application for their company use.
  
• Manage their inventory through their web site or through one of our portals.

Our web platform  allows to offer new services to individuals as well as boat brokers and dealers or real estate agents for docks and slips ads.

• On the fly PDF  generation to create documents pertaining to a boat  broker or a particular boat.
  
• SMS platform to send alert or notification text messages. 
• Fax over the internet platform to send alerts and notifications.

Our platform  allows to generate at any given time a  high resolution PDF document to provide distributed printing using the  printing on demand technology.  This document is compatible with Adobe In Design architecture and templates. It can be included in a pre-press environment through xml updates.

Monthly editions through a magazine can then be published and printed for local distribution.  This architecture gives the possibility to generate trageted "regional" editions : North East, North West.... as well as international editions by country. The print on demand technology allows the UK edition to be printed through a UK printer while the California edition would be printed in a Los Angeles shop.

Subscribers can as well opt for the PDF version  through a subscription if they want to see it online.

We are looking for investors interested in backing up the development of this web platform.

New funds will allow extended promotion to the yachting professionals like  boat dealers, brokers, marina managers....

Our integrated solutions allow  professionals to promote their inventory through their own site  using our applications.

Investor Shares are available starting at US $50,000 : each share gives a  1% ownership in the company.
