Do you like sailboats?

Power boats?

Boat accessories?

Boaters?

They’ll all be at the 37th annual Newport International Boat Show, which started today and runs through Sunday.

More then 500 companies will be showing off products, and a special project “Newport for New Products” displays the newest of the new products – those released between April 13 and Sept. 13.

Last year, 65 boats were debuted at the show.

And you couldn’t ask for better weather in the East Coast sailing mecca, at least for today and tomorrow, with predicted high temperatures in the low 70s and clear, sunny skies.
