[EXPIRED] Wooden Boat Show in September, Southport, NC, AICW Statute Mile 309.5
According to an article from Soundings’ Trade Only, the fourth annual wooden boat show will be held in Southport’s Old Yacht Basin just east of Southport Marina, a much valued SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR. Southport Marina and the Old Yacht Basin lie west of the Cape Fear River along the northern banks of the Waterway hard by flashing daybeacon #2A. Wooden boat shows, like the very popular October show in Georgetown, SC, have long attracted boaters and non-boaters who admire the beauty and craftsmanship of both old and new wooden boats. Builders and owners are usually in attendance to answer questions.
The fourth annual Wooden Boat Show will be held Sept. 27 at the Old Yacht Basin in Southport, N.C.
The event, which will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., will feature boat enthusiasts, vendors, children’s activities and a seafood chowder cook-off.
Organizers said the show promotes interest in the craft and art of wooden boat construction in order to support efforts to preserve the activity and its skills and celebrate the region’s maritime and boatbuilding history.
