Boat Exhibitors

Wooden boats of all shapes, sizes and designs - historic and ultra modern - are invited to exhibit at the Wooden Boat Festival. Boats can be displayed on land or in water. In water boats are docked and rafted together in Point Hudson marina or on the historic waterfront docks. On land boats can be on stands, trailers or hauled out in the Boat Yard Stage area. Interaction between boat owners and the people who attend is a hallmark of the festival, so all boat exhibitors must be open to public boarding and/or discussion.
