The Annapolis Boat Shows kick off today, when the 2018 United States Sailboat Show takes over the city’s harbor and will include nearly 600 exhibitors and over 200 boats from 16 to 75 feet in size. Our team selected 10 sailboats not to be missed!
RS21
The RS21 is a new 21-foot Keelboat, designed to offer progressive and affordable one-design sailing for all skill levels. The design features were carefully considered to give the boat the most versatility to maximize sailing at the club level from the first timer all the way to your expert sailor. www.rssailing.com

It is just as simple to store and does not require any maintenance. Tiwal is a reference in the sailing world, with almost 1,000 boats sold in 45 countries. Now is ready to wow the 2018 United States Sailboat Show. www.tiwal.com
Sun Odyssey 319
An exciting new addition to the Sun Odyssey range is the Sun Odyssey 319. With an overall length of 32’1” the Sun Odyssey 319 in many ways represents the very best of what Jeanneau is all about: elegance and simplicity. www.jeanneau.com
Figaro Beneteau 3
The Figaro Beneteau 3 is the first production foiling one-design monohull ever to grace the seas. The Figaro Beneteau 3 is the result of a collaboration between the French yard Beneteau and Van Peteghem Lauriot-Prévost, the architects of the last two Vendée Globe winners. Her most visible innovation is her inverted foiling system. www.beneteau.com
Tartan 395
Tartan 395 is an evolution of the successful Tartan 3700 (over 170 boats built). Her aft cabin has been massaged into a size that really makes it equal to the forward cabin. The main cabin has been nuanced to be even safer at sea than her predecessors. Her rig is a result of continuous testing and will move Tartan 395 at speed in the lightest winds, yet be flexible enough to allow easy management in higher wind ranges. tartanyachts.com
