The New England Boat Show sailed into Boston this weekend, and so did we. It was a big opening (dozens of press people attended the media preview) of a big show (nine days, more than 800 boats covering 360,000 square feet at the Boston Convention Center), and there was some big, impressive media coverage, including Boston Magazine, The Boston Globe, Connecticut Magazine and a number of local publications. The results were big, too: a 40% increase over last year’s opening weekend.
