Annapolis 2024

We'll be back fall 2024 for the annual US Sailboat Show in Annapolis!

Every October Andy, Mia and friends and family of the 59º North team descend on our spiritual home port for the annual Boat Show festivities, and we’ll be back in 2024! If you came to meet us in 2023, we’ll be in a NEW spot, our booth next to the YouTuber spot in Tent O-6, just inside the show entrance near the hotel, and we’ve got some similar events on tap throughout the week. Note that the show dates are October 10 thru October 14 (Thursday-Monday, 5 days).
