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?

The Annapolis Sailboat Show is a spectacle for sailors and lovers of all things sailing. Everywhere you turn, conversations fill the air about vacations in the Med or anchors that can hold fast in all conditions or the dream to sail the world. 

The Annapolis Sailboat Show allows us to dream while seeking inspiration and motivation and engaging in some infatuation.

For more than 50 years, the changing winds of fall have meant more sailboats in Annapolis, from sleek racing hauls, to historical replicas, to locals preparing their vessels for winter in Bermuda. Uniting them all is the Annapolis Sailboat Show, expected to bring thousands of people to Maryland’s capital this weekend, with or without their boats.

While there’s no stated theme for the 2023 Annapolis Sailboat Show, organizers note that there are more multihulls than usual on display this year, from inflatable MiniCats made in the Czech Republic to a 66-foot luxury catamaran.

“We are honored that so many manufacturers have chosen our show to debut and showcase their latest models,” said Mary Ewenson, President of the Annapolis Boat Shows, in a news release.

While both shows draw visitors from around the globe, they also offer local maritime businesses a chance to share their expertise and wares with the boating world. Examples include:

Smoove: Kent Island-based yacht salesperson Jeff Beane had long been on the hunt for boat-cleaning products intended for boats, not cars. His solution was to found his own company. His trademark purple goo is now used to wax and shine boats far beyond the Chesapeake Bay, but he’ll be at the show ready to talk about all your barnacle woes.

Dakota Lithium: Ryan Ellison, one-half of the Anne Arundel County-based duo Ryan and Sophie Sailing, has traveled the world aboard the Polar Seal, and worked as a flight instructor in Sweden. But he’s originally a pilot from North Dakota, and is a partner in a firm that develops batteries to power onboard electronics by storing solar energy. Ellison and his partner Sophie Darcy also will host sails aboard Watermark Cruises and hang out at the YouTube booth.

Catamaran Gurus: Estelle and Stephen Cockcroft have been living on a multihulls since 1992, but it took them until 2023 to open an onshore office in Annapolis, where they provide yacht brokerage services, training programs and general catamaran life consulting.

Show hours are 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. The free Annapolis Downtown Shuttle is scheduled to run every 10 minutes until 11 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and until 8 p.m. on Sunday, making it easier for those parked at city-owned garages to get around.

Tickets for the boat show start at $25 per day. Children under 7 are free, and tickets for children 7 to 15 are available for $10. Only service animals are permitted in the ticketed areas of the boat show. Otherwise, boat show patrons face far fewer restraints than at the average sports stadium: backpacks, outside food and drink are all permitted, and plenty of local restaurants will have boat show specials available.

On Thursday, Friday and Sunday, boat show organizers are encouraging attendees to buy advance passes to park at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium for $20. (They’ll be $25 at the gate.) A shuttle drops patrons off at the Waterfront Hotel boat show gate. City-owned garages are opened, but they filled up early during last week’s powerboat show. Other parking options include Annapolis and Eastport elementary schools. Look for the parents waving signs that offer spots in their lots for $40. Not cheap, but you’ll be close to the action, and money benefits local PTAs.

A businessman has pleaded guilty to conspiring with the leader of an offshoot polygamous sect near the Arizona-Utah border to transport underage girls across state lines. Moroni Johnson is the first man to be convicted in what authorities say was a scheme to orchestrate sexual acts involving children. Johnson, who faces 10 years to life in prison, acknowledged that he participated in a scheme to transport four girls under the age of 18 for sexual activity. Authorities say the conspiracy between Johnson and the sect’s leader, self-proclaimed prophet Samuel Bateman, occurred over a three-year period ending in September 2022. Bateman has pleaded not guilty to charges. His trial is scheduled for Sept. 10.

If a plan to revive Maryland’s thoroughbred racing industry by building new facilities in the state with public money and organizing a state-created racing operator actually comes to fruition, a bill will need to sprint through Annapolis over the next three weeks. During the legislation’s first hearing Tuesday before the House Ways and Means Committee, a Republican leader expressed “skepticism” about the financial future of the horse industry. Meanwhile, the Democratic president of the Senate warned that legislators would not issue a “blank check” to keep the sport alive in Maryland. The bill was proposed last week at the eleventh […]
