Has anyone gone to the Sail US Boat Show in

Except that there was a large crowd on Sat., the show seemed
comparatively smaller and also less well attended than in recent past
years (there were even some empty booths that appear to have been set
up for exhibitors who/which didn't show), and some of the exhibitors
so indicated.
