for such shows across the planet. It bills itself as the ing the continued growth we have experienced over the According to statistics provided by the Marine
Trades Association of Maryland, about 12,061 recre-
ational boats of all types are registered in Calvert and
St. Mary’s counties - a number that represents 7% of
the state’s total. The economic stats aren’t broken out
by county, but statewide, the MTAM claims the indus-
try is responsible for $3.5 billion in economic impact.
This includes 17,703 marine related jobs at over 1,100
businesses.
Several new things are in the works when the Sail-
boat Show opens today (Thursday, October 10th) for
its 2019 run. A block party encompassing the Market
Space area and Annapolis’ Main Street is planned for
5pm – 9pm and is open to the general public. Guests
can enjoy the Chris Sacks Band (Jimmy Buffett tribute
music), as well as a variety of food and crafts vendors.
Throughout the run of the show, ticketed attendees can
check out a one-design keelboat racing fleet sailing sta-

in addition to the usual menu of lectures, classes and
educational opportunities that the Sailboat Show offers.
This 50th edition of the Sailboat show begins to-
day Thursday, October 10th with a VIP Day. Anyone
may attend with a $35 ticket and VIP Day is a good
option for a serous buyer or sailor who wants to avoid
the crowds. The show continues through Monday with
General Admission prices of $18 for adults. The best
bet for parking is to head to Navy-Marine Corps Me-
