Update on Sailboat Show Amid Hurricane Matthew Concerns

The 47th annual United States Sailboat Show is on schedule for Thursday, October 6th opening. Hurricane Matthew created a stir in the sailing industry intent on participating in the Annapolis Sailboat Show, October 6th -10th, but the hurricane has diverted its path and is expected to miss the Mid-Atlantic. This is the second consecutive year that weather threatened and failed to disrupt the sailboat show.

More than 200 boats are in the water at Annapolis City Dock and Harbor and hundreds of on land exhibitors are moving in today.Tomorrow's opening will be the largest sailboat show ever. The show effectively sold out weeks ago ensuring that the docks are chock full of all imaginable sailing toys and yachts.

"We are very excited to welcome thousands of guests to our Jeanneau display," said Nick Harvey, president, Jeanneau America. "This year's show is setting up to be one of the best!  We have ten new Jeanneau sailboats at our display, plus one additional new yacht if we count the exciting Virtual Reality experience we've created for the new Jeanneau 51.  As always the show organizers made the necessary weather-related decisions for the safety and security of everyone involved."

Special events include the Premier Launch Party, First Sail Workshops, Take the Wheel Workshop, Cruisers University, free tastings at the Hendricks Gin Barge, Nobilo Wine, or Papa's Pilar Rum tents, free seminars on sailing, and a grand prize drawing for a Moorings 7-day charter in the British Virgin Islands.

All systems are go for the 47th United States Sailboat Show in Annapolis October 6-10, 2016.
