Why we fly halfway around the world for the Annapolis boat show | Ep180

Annapolis boat show 2026 has managed to be just as hectic as always, there's always too much to do and see than the 4 days allow. There's loads of space for boats on the water here and they are just sailboats, the motor boats have their own show the week before. So all the major brands were here and there are masses of tents full of every type of boat accessory. We pick our 5 best things as always and try to give you a real sense of what it's like to come to this boat show, drink Guinness & eat oysters! Do get yourself a copy of Herby's manual on rigging, it covers everything: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1493086006?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback We will be showing the 'Further' SUP in upcoming episodes, it's a really well made board ( our last one blew up about 10 minutes after I had been using it film several thousand stinging jellyfish in Majorca! ) We are really looking forward to trying it out in kayak mode with the chair.
