View Larger Map As with last year's show, boats will be displayed in and around the historic Old Yacht Basin in Southport, North Carolina.
Visitors will be able to meet and talk with wooden boat makers and owners, and to vote for their favorite boat entrant for the People's Choice Award.
A team of judges will also award three other prizes: Best Powered Boat, Best Non-Powered Boat - Row/Paddle, Best Non-Powered Boat - Sail.
An awards ceremony and dinner for boat exhibitors and vendors and their guests will be held at 5:00pm.
I am perfectly aware that the majority of Wooden Boat aficionados are sensible folk. However, I need to point out that I am an amateur wooden boat enthusiast simply writing in order to try to help other amateur wooden boat enthusiasts. And while I take every care to ensure that the information in DIY Wood Boat.com is correct, anyone acting on the information on this website does so at their own risk.
