Refit My Ride

Presented by Oakcliff Sailing | Dock E2

Oakcliff Sailing will conduct live refits of two boats at the 2026 Annapolis Sailboat Show. Working from Dock E2, the Oakcliff team will take an Express 27 and a J/22 through a full refit using gear sourced from exhibitors at the show, including sails, paint, decking, electronics, rigging, decals, an electric outboard, and Starlink.

The work happens in the open across all four days of the show. Attendees can observe each stage of the process, speak with the crew, and ask questions about installation, sequencing, and product selection. For anyone weighing a project of their own, Refit My Ride offers a direct look at what the work involves and what it requires.

Every component installed comes from an exhibitor within walking distance of the dock, which allows attendees to move from the demonstration to the supplier in a matter of minutes.

Find Refit My Ride at Dock E2, Oct. 15-18.
