- Also, kids 11-15 can get on the water with the Junior Captains program designed to make them enthusiastic sailors while adults can take the wheel of two monohulls and two cats to see what best fits their personality.
- The very popular Cruisers University is already open for registration and most of the program will be held at the Historic Inns of Annapolis on State Circle. There are dozens of classes led by expert speakers. Learn diesel mechanics, weather for cruisers, marine electrical systems, anchoring, and more. University prices include educational materials, expert instruction, breakfast and lunch, evening activities, a one-year basic BoatUS membership, and admission to the show(s).
Register early for any of the above because they sell out fast.
Door Prizes
Pusser’s Painkiller and door prizes – what’s not to love? Purchase advance tickets online or sign up at the show to win special door prizes including a seven-day charter in the British Virgin Islands with The Moorings.
Brokerage Cove
If you’re looking for a pre-owned sailboat, visit Brokerage Cove on the other side of the Spa Creek Bridge. It’s an easy walk from the main show. Alternatively, you can take a water taxi to this floating marina in St. Mary’s Cove that’s full of boats for sale, ready for immediate cruising.
Pro Tip: Call up a babysitter or fur babysitter; pets and strollers are not allowed at this event.
