The Westport Fishermen’s Association annual classic small wooden boat show will be held on October 14th & 15th at the Horseneck Point Life Saving Station, 241 East Beach Road, Westport MA. The boat show is free and open to the public from 10 am to 4 pm both days.
The exhibit will feature a display of beautiful hand built wooden boats in and around the Life Saving Station and across the street on the landing. A classic Fred Hart skiff that has been donated to WFA and restored by WFA board member Howie Gifford will be one of many highlights. Attendees can vote for their favorite boat and the “Best in Show” winner will be announced on Sunday afternoon. The winning boat owner gets bragging rights and a free t-shirt.
On Saturday from Noon to 2 PM there will be pilot gig rowing demonstrations (weather permitting), Westport’s own Dharma Voyager rowing club will lead this event. Refreshments, WFA merchandise and the Marine Equipment flea market will be available on both days. Plan to join us for this wonderful community event where we celebrate the local talents of wooden boat builders and enthusiasts in the area and have a chance to talk with them about their craft.
