(Annapolis, MD) -- The National Sailing Hall of Fame in Annapolis, Maryland is taking a major step toward relocating to the Newport Armory. A majority of the hall's board of directors voted yesterday to take that action. Space in the Armory will have to be purchased and renovated at a cost of several-million dollars, according to the hall of fame's executive director. The Newport Daily News reports the Newport City Council approved a purchase-and-sale agreement in August.
