Description:
Annapolis is known as "America 's Sailing Capital." Annapolis Yacht Club and Severn Sailing Association support year-round racing by high school and college sailors. Major national and international sailing events take place here, including the Volvo Ocean Race. The fleet of 'round-the-world raceboats will stop here in May 2006.
Tour boats and boat rentals provide opportunities for families to spend a day on the water. Water taxis are fun way to get a boat ride across the Harbor.
Volunteers and staff of the Annapolis Maritime Museum are busy repairing damage caused by Hurricane Isabel in 2003. Located at the site of the former McNasby Oyster Company in Eastport, the Museum's programs, exhibits and activities are centered about the maritime heritage you've learned about here.
