I was surprised how many boats were made in China. The Outbounds were a big disappointment in this respect (not to mention that strange companionway drop-off in the new 52). Even the new little Melges 20 (pretty sweet little racer) gets shipped over in a container (four per).

My favorite boat at the show was the schooner Virginia.

The only equipment I bought was a Davis Mega Light, which can serve as a back-up anchor light.

I tried to buy 4 of these, but no one had them in stock. I saw them on several boats at the show and they are infinitely superior to the inboard leads we have on our boat, and better than the Schaeffer version too:

Harken Outboard Stanchion Lead Block

I'm ordering 4 from Defender today.
