Hi Bob, I remember you from the Mystic Renzdevouz. I envy you being able to regularly sail your 33 MII from the mooring at Mystic River, without needing the engine. And so many choices for where to go for a day's sail.
You are right, the Atlantic City Boatshow is predominently smaller trailerable power boats, 16ft to 30ft. Plus there are many 30 to 40 ft sport cruisers. Sailboats are fewer; there are usually only 3 or 4 C&C boats, Tartans, Catalinas and Hunters and at least 6 Beneteaus. They usually have a large pool with Radio Controlled sailboats that race around a triangle course using big fans for wind, as well as a pool for radio controlled power boats that are fun to dock. The real draw of the Atlantic City Boatshow is timing. There is usually some snow on the ground and it's a fun diversion from the winter doldrums. I always attend but rarely buy anything. All of the Marine wholesalers have a booth; like West Marine, and many equipment suppliers will be there; Harken, Schaefer, Edson, Simrad, Faruno, ever engine supplier like Yanmar and Westerbeke, several sailmakers, insurance providers, inflatable dingies, so it's a good show to try gadgets and gizmos and ask a lot of questions, but it can't compare with Annapolis where you'll find hundreds of sailboats from a every country that builds them.

Been wanting to hit AC this winter anyway. Last time went to the AC boat show it was Sail Expo and pretty good. Why do I have the feeling this will be mostly powerboats? Lets get something going, maybe we can raise a few more $$ for the cncphotoalbum? I'll teach a card counting class :) Rob Gallagher C&C30MKII Hanuman _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com [email protected]
