Annapolis Boat Shew . .

[AJ Oliver 154]

I'll be there this weekend (first time). It's an eight hour drive from here. 

 

Anyone want me to look over what is available in Borkerage Cove?

What is this "borkerage" of which you speak? 

 

Sorry (blush)

It's a boat show in the states , a bit far from here

[AJ Oliver 154]

Well, there were some Kiwis there - media and otherwise. 

 

Knowing that few of you would be able to attend, my half joking offer was to look over boats for a crew.org person. Those boats were WAAAAY beyond my price point. 

 

Sorry I was not more clear . .

So you didn't buy anything? I found it interesting how sail g on the east coast was considered very elitist

[AJ Oliver 154]

Nope, did not buy a thing except for a sangy. 

But is was interesting to see all the new boats from all over the world. 

I was sort of interested in seeing the Jeanneau SunFast boats (32 & 36 ft), 

but the company did not bring any to the show. And I would not spend 

$ 150 K anyway (for the 32) 

A kiwi journalist who was there was pretty much openly scornful of 

the US production  boats. 

Actually, I think sailing is considered elitist in most parts of the world - the 

most common comment I get when taking out international young folks for 

a sail from, say, Malaysia or Venezuela is, "In my country sailing is only 

for rich people." 

We are fortunate to live in places where this is not the case . .
