Press Release Summary = Sailtime Opens Up New York's Waterways. Isn't It Time You
Got On Board?


Press Release Body = ( EMAILWIRE.COM, March 13, 2006 ) New York, NY -- Now you
don't have to be a millionaire to enjoy owning a spectacular sailboat or powerboat
and maintain it at one of the superb marinas in New York City or Long Island. From
Chelsea Piers to City Island to Manhasset Bay, To Port Jefferson, SailTime is the
new way to own a World-Class vessel without the hassle of marina fees, insurance, or
maintenance. SailTime does it all for you. The time you spend on your boat you spend
sailing. All of SailTime's boats are new and top of the line. Everything is
maintained to extraordinary levels. All you have to do is get on board and have fun.


There have always been people who have shared boats, and everyone has heard stories
about friends who own boats who are no longer friends. What makes SailTime
fractional ownership different from any previous arrangements is their level of
high-grade professional management that makes sure everyone is happy.

\"The technology is what is making this happen,\" says Mathias Chouraki of SailTime
New York and Long Island. \"You do everything online - just check the calendar and
decide what days you want to go sailing. Each SailTime member is guaranteed a
minimum of 7 sail times per month and has the possibility to add up to 14 sail times
together, which means it is possible to go out for an entire week, and whenever the
boat is not booked by other members, there is the possibility of unlimited sail
times per month. \"Each boat is equipped with a PDA that stays on board, and there is
a check -in and check-out list that insures security, cleanliness, and that all
equipment is maintained and well-functioning. The base manager can take care of
everything immediately, from fuel and supplies to toilet paper and readies the boat
for the next member. The boats stay in fantastic shape.\"

SailTime's smaller boats, the Hunter 33s (SailTime sails Hunter boats exclusively)
feature two cabins and sleeps two couples comfortably, but could easily fit six.
They are very well-appointed with showers, heat, AC, and hot water. The galley has a
microwave and a stove, there are DVD players and flat-screen TVs, stereos -they are
comparable to small homes and that\'s just the comfort equipment - all boats also
feature Auto Pilot and chartplotter GPS units for simple or advanced navigation.
It'd be easy to sail from, say, New York to Boston or Newport, or Atlantic City.
\"And,\" adds Chouraki, \"SailTime has boats up and down the East Coast that you can
borrow when you are a member.\" Currently there are thirty SailTime locations in the
US and even more internationally.

First-time sailors are welcome at SailTime! SailTime is a member of the American
Sailing Association, and all members are eligible for free private instruction for
the A.S.A. 101 and 103 certification: Basic Keel Boats and Coastal Cruising. After
four or five days with a private instructor (included in SailTime\'s fees) you'll
feel confident to go out on your own. If you are new at sailing, this is a great
first step. \"Between $500 for the first sailing lesson elsewhere and the $150,000
for the boat if you just bought one, there has not been much in between,\" say
Chouraki. \"SailTime is an incredible opportunity to enter what, until now, has been
a very exclusive past time.\"

SailTime membership in New York begins at a very modest $625 for one of the
spectacular Hunter 33s - less than what you would pay in fees alone if you were a
traditional boat owner. Again, this includes all insurance, fees, fuel is included
for the sailboats (not the motor boats), and maintenance. Memberships for larger
sail boats and a growing fleet of power boats and yachts are also available. They
will soon be introducing mega-yachts as well with a similar arrangement although the
monthly cost will be more and increases with the size of the vessel.

Come Sailing with SailTime! This spring, SailTime will be inviting a select group of
journalists for day-sails to inspect (and enjoy!) this new concept that is opening
up New York's greatest resource, our waterways. To find out more about our
promotional sailing events, or to learn more about SailTime, including details about
membership, the growing fleet of powerboats and yachts, other SailTime locations in
the New York City area, the US, or Europe, or how to become a SailTime owner, please
