| The Lake Union Boats Afloat Show is one of the year’s biggest events for fans for boating. If you own a boat, want to own a boat, or just think they’re cool, you probably already know about this show and have been to it in years past. For everyone else, let me just say that having been to this show in the past myself, I’ve found there’s something for just about everyone: if nothing else, the sheer variety of boats on display is fascinating. Over three hundred sail and power boats are on display in the water and 100 trailerable boats on parked on the lawn. That’s a lot of vessels. In addition to the boats on display and for sale, interested parties can purchase boating accessories. attend hands-on seminars relating to boating and even take a free demonstration ride at the Discover Sailing dock. |
