Social Activities
The Annapolis Sailboat Show has been
a favorite Fleet 5 event for most of the last 16 years and
this year will be no exception. The show offers the chance
to see all the latest Catalina Yachts and hundreds of others.
We have the opportunity to climb aboard fully rigged sailboats
in the water and check out the latest designs and equipment
used on these yachts. In addition there are hundreds of
equipment suppliers in tents all around the Annapolis Town
Harbor area. To top it off, Columbus Day Weekend is usually
sunny and warm in the Chesapeake making it a wonderful trip
to enjoy the scenery and foods of the bay area. The crab
cakes are rated the best in the world.
The show, filling the Annapolis Town
Marina, opens at 10:00 a.m. with members often congregating
around the Catalina Yacht Owners' Booth where we may be
able to chat with Frank Butler, Sharon Day and Gerry Douglas.
We then spread out across the show with our own agendas
and shopping lists in preparation for next season's sailing.
We suggestthat you go early to ensure parking.
This year will not be formally coordinated
as in the past. The fleet will circulate a list of those
we know will be attending. We suggest small groups meet
informally for lunch and/or dinner to get together and discuss
what they have seen so far.
If you wish to return to the show
on Sunday we suggest that you again go early to get parking.
If you have any questions feel free
to contact Tom Lanzilli.
Warmest regards,
