Bruce and I went to Georgetown's 25th Annual Wooden Boat show today. It is a huge two day affair that completely takes over the town's streets and Sampit River waterfront.
and Sampit River waterfront.
The 25th Anniversary show featured one of the nation’s best wooden boat exhibits There were more than 130 classic wooden boats displayed on land and water.
Smaller Boats on display on Front Street between Orange and Queen Streets included:
Row and Classic Row,
Canoe and Classic Canoe,
Kayak and Classic Kayak, Surf/Paddle and Classic Surf/Paddle and
Sail boats.
Floating dinghy docks projecting into the Sampit River were used to allow people to closely inspect the craftsmanship on larger vessels with drafts up to seven feet.
Of course there is more than just beautiful workmanship to be seen. Some of the boats on display were quite fanciful
...My personal favorite was this lovely Chinese Junk .
Larger vessles filled the Sampit River
Is it any wonder that this event is considered one of the nation’s best wooden boat exhibits?
