Bonus Podcast: The Bay Bridge Boat Show and Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show Will Look a Bit Different This Year!

Eye On Annapolis Daily News Brief

When the ospreys return, it is a sure sign that spring has sprung. Another sign is the return of the Bay Bridge Boat Show and the Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show. While not as large as their older siblings in the fall, these two shows are a great way to make sure you are ready to get on the water this summer! The crews are moving full steam ahead to prepare for this year's Bay Bridge Boat Show which moved slightly east to Safe Harbor Narrows Point Marina in Grasonville. More boats, more parking, more vendors and an entirely different experience awaits attendees. The gates open at 10am on Friday, April 1, 2025 and the show continues through Sunday April 13th. And then two weeks later, they do it all again in Annapolis for the Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show from April 25th through 27th. And like the Bay Bridge Boat Show, the Annapolis show will have plenty of boats, vendors, food, and fun for everyone! The other day, we hopped over to Forward Brewing in Eastport to catch up with Mary Ewenson, one of the show's owners, to see what was new and exciting. Construction on both sides of the Bay has necessitated a pivot—one for location and the other for how they arrange the floating city! We chatted about the training opportunities, the vendors, the boats (there will be an 80-foot beauty in Annapolis, along with some foiling sailboats for those who like to zoom), and the experience, which has been going strong for over fifty years! What excites me the most is the camaraderie of the boating community and the opportunity to learn from the experts. Both shows feature some version of "drive before you buy," in case you are not sure-- at the Bay Bridge Boat Show, there is the Prop Talk Demo Dock, and at the Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show, there is the Learn to Sail Workshop. No matter how involved (or not) you are with boating, there is something for everyone! You can get your tickets to the show in advance (Bay Bridge Boat Show - Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show), but for now, have a listen!

Ronnie Simpson is a 40-year-old professional racing sailor from the United States of America who aims to sail in the 2027 Global Solo Challenge race. Recently, Ronnie was the skipper of the Open 50 Shipyard Brewing which competed in the first-ever Global Solo Challenge in 2023-24. Sailing in a strong third place for most of the race, Ronnie unfortunately dismasted off of Argentina in February 2024 and Shipyard Brewing was lost at sea. Having completed 80% of a singlehanded racing circumnavigation and rounding all of the three great capes including Cape Horn, Ronnie's resolve to race in and complete the Global Solo Challenge is now only stronger. To that effect, Ronnie purchased Class 40 #15 ‘Koloa Maoli' in early 2025 to mount another campaign for the Global Solo Challenge. As a combat-wounded and medically retired US Marine and Iraq war veteran who has sailed more than 175,000 miles at sea, Ronnie is proud to use his sailing efforts to raise both funds and awareness for US Patriot Sailing, a 501c3 Veterans' sailing non-profit organization. Ronnie credits sailing with saving his life and believes in the inspirational and therapeutic benefit of finding purpose through sailing. We talk about his new Class 40 sailboat Koloa Maoli, preparing the boat for the GSC, sailing the boat, the mast, the keel, comparing Class 40 boats to cruising boats, safety of Class 40 boats, building the GSC campaign, other races, sailing in Maine and Canada, destinations, how to win a long ocean race, the motivation and drive to race sailboats, cruising vs racing, delivering a Hanse with Elliot Smith, sailing a Hobie 18 in Maine, sailing a Gunboat 60, dream boats, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Sustainability Maine, Remoran hydrogenerators, and more.
