I Built-Restored It Myself
If you've built-restored a trailerable wooden boat that you'd like to show, we would love to hear from you! There is no entry fee for the I Built-Restored It Myself exhibit, but you must be willing to discuss your wooden boat project with attendees. In the past we've had up to 50 beautifully crafted boats and proud owners-builders. The collection has included kayaks, skiffs, daysailers, canoes, and much more by a variety of designers such as Iain Oughtred, Joel White, Chesapeake Light Craft, Arch Davis, and William and John Atkin. This exhibit always offers plenty of inspiration!
