Boat Shows around?

[son_of_a_sailor3]

I live in PA. I wish there were some boat shows coming up that have the F31 and F33 and Dragonfly's .. I would love to see more folding systems made today! I really love that system. it would be pretty cool to ride on them to before you buy one! I will keep looking around for a boat show, but do you guys go to boat shows at all? it hard to find any with the boats i am interested in now. I use to love Monohulls, now I am stuck on this folding tri!

son - to see tris you may have to wait for the Annapolis show which is reasonably close to you. There was a Dragonfly there last October among others. Perhaps there's something in New England, but I'll defer to those locals to offer advice.

OK is there a web site for this boat show what does it cost to get in? That sounds awesome!

U.S. Sailboat and Powerboat Shows, Bay Bridge Boat Show, Yacht Show at National Harbor, Maryland, Washington, D.C.

The site still shows last year's info.

Just log onto their website in a couple of months and you will see
go to on the water display and to the multihull area

You can always send me a mail and I can check for you
DragonFly is always present and so is Ferrier and many others.
I really do not know of a show with more tri,s around

I can confirm what Gideon's saying about La Rochelle as we attended the show last year. We went for 4 days and found it to be a great place for multihulls of all shapes and sizes. Unlike most shows everything is focussed around the in water boats and not the normal 5 square miles of chandlers and boat bits. A shuttle boat runs from the main harbour to the show every 20 minutes throughout the day.
La Rochelle is a great place, a little expensive for hotels and food but not too bad if you move slightly further away from the harbour area. Hotel availability is a problem so book early through the tourist board who seem to control the room allocations.

Le Grand Pavois - Salon Nautique International à Flot - La Rochelle - Charentes Maritimes - Nautisme et Tourisme gives Sept 10th to 15th 2008.
Search on la rochelle for lots of accomodation.
Not too far from Paris, rent a car and make it a 2 day tour through Chartres (the cathedral) and Le Mans (the cicuit) on the way to le R. Wonderfull countryside.
French not required, english / american phrase book suggested! Enjoy.

I am in the USA not Paris so I am looking for shows that have Multihulls in the USA, Mostly Trimarans cause they are trailerable. I am not going over seas anytime soon.
