On February 14, the world fills with roses, chocolates and Tiffany boxes, but SLAM, the Official Clothing Partner of Sail Port Stephens, is sharing a different kind of love to make their mark on the day that Cupid infiltrates the globe.
For every boat that enters Sail Port Stephens between now and midnight on the 14th of February, there'll be a special SLAM gift pack of love waiting for them at the regatta from the 12th to the 18th of April.

And the gift includes a $50 worth of SLAM money to spend at the SLAM store at the event.
With a week long program of great sailing and plenty of fun to be enjoyed off the water, Sail Port Stephens is one of the fastest growing regattas in the country.
Anthony 'Jack' Young, Managing Director of SLAM in Australia and New Zealand, has been a big supporter of the regatta since its inception in 2008.
'We really enjoy our involvement in Sail Port Stephens and feel that the regatta has a great future - one that we are very much looking forward to continuing to be a part of 'he said.
'I've sailed competitively for a lot of years, but one of the things I really enjoy about Sail Port Stephens is the ability to take my young kids out for the day early in the week and then slip into race mode as the weekend approaches ' he said.
From the laid back start to the week in the Commodores Cup to the action packed Yachting NSW IRC Championships and the Port Stephens Trophy (PHS) racing and cruising divisions that lead into the weekend, there is something for every level of boat and crew.
There's the option of getting there in a fleet with the two feeder races from Pittwater to Newcastle and Newcastle to Port Stephens, or make your own way up the coast in an overnight trip from Sydney. And your support crew can follow at their leisure- with Port Stephens just under 3 hours drive up the F3 - as well as having easy access by air, direct into Newcastle Airport from Brisbane, Melbourne and the Gold Coast.
The social program is friendly and affordable, with a change of scenery and location every night.
Non sailing kids are well catered for during the day, with the introduction this year of a fantastic Activities Program that will give mums and kids the opportunity to enjoy a number of local tourist attractions in the stress free comfort of an air conditioned coach.
So enter today, do it before Midnight on the 14th of February to qualify for the SLAM Sail Port Stephens gift pack of love - including $50 worth of SLAM money to spend on anything you want at the SLAM Store at the regatta.
Join the fun at Sail Port Stephens 2010 - the best is yet to come !
