Moments in Time made her public debut during the 3-day Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show on April 26-28, 2024. There were many potential buyers, dreamers, and spectators onboard. Great weather, great fun, and great meeting and speaking to everyone. The best boat in the show, in our obvious unbiased opinion :)
