The Annapolis Boat Show is the sailing world’s best land-based, gunk-hole gathering.  Where else can you talk to experts about everything sailing, buy anything sailing related at discount prices, and most importantly, step aboard a gazillion number of boats....and either see your dream boat or decide you still like your own boat best?
