Barton Marine’s Director Paul Botterill recently attended the Annapolis Boat Show helping with enquiries on the Barton US stand. The US sailboat market appears to be on the mend with Barton retailers Defender, Sail Care and Bacon Sails reporting good sales at the show. There’s no doubt that the weather and stunning location helped buoy up the mood amongst visitors.

The Mystery 35 was on display at Annapolis, flying the flag for British boat builders. Built by Cornish Crabbers, she is a nominee for US magazine’s Cruising World and Sail’s ‘Sailboat of the year 2012’. The Mystery 35 features a number of Barton deck hardware fittings, including our re-circulating genoa car systems and deck organisers. All are designed for safe and simple adjustment from the safety of the cockpit.
