How to Make the Most of This Year’s Annapolis Sailboat Show

By: Zeke Quezada, ASA American Sailing , Boat Shows

A shiny new sailboat will make your heart race, your palms sweat, and trigger the butterflies in your stomach. Stand on the boat of your dreams, and you’ll feel a powerful and intense feeling of affection, attraction, and emotional connection.  Amid the lively Annapolis Sailboat Show, I absorb the inspiration and ponder my own sailing journey. Around, dreams blossom—a vibrant tapestry of aspirations. Witnessing the joy of a boat purchase nearby, I sense the essence of possibility. Dreams meet reality on the dock in Annapolis as old goals are achieved, and new goals are set.

Up and down the rows of the show, you see bright flags and shiny vessels capturing your every glance. At last count, over 400 vendors attend the boat show, exposing you to the newest and coolest objects of desire. How great would it be to outfit your boat with all-new electronics? Imagine new sails to replace those tired but storied rags on your sloop. Can you ever have enough jackets or gloves or winch handles?
