ArticleEach October, for 40 years, the United States Sailboat Show (October 8-12) and the United States Powerboat Show (October 15-18) take over the docks and harbor of the colonial seaport of Annapolis. These two events, the oldest and largest in-water shows in the industry, are the only major boat shows not produced in an existing marina. Playing host to hundreds of water and land exhibitors requires the construction of a temporary facility of stupendous proportions.

To accommodate more than 250 sailboats and over 400 powerboats, show producers drive 62 temporary pilings in the waters of Annapolis harbor. To accommodate 500 land exhibitors, 250 tents will be erected on over 600 wooden floor sections covering more than three-quarters of an acre. A temporary marina is literally built for the two weeks that the Sailboat and Powerboat shows are in town.

A wide variety of events, including an Anniversary Gala, a designated Multihull section, (complete with demonstration rides), and over six hundred marine exhibitors will display the latest nautical technology, designs, and styles. Information and online tickets are available at www.usboat.com.
