I BUILT IT MYSELF - Boat
REGISTRATION


Do you have a small wooden boat that you either built yourself or restored?  New feature at this year's festival is our "I Built It (restored it) Myself" feature.

Share your love of wooden boats by sharing the story of the one you built, with festival goers and perhaps capture the hearts of new and future wooden boat enthusiasts.

The feature is to inspire others in the idea that they can build a small wooden boat too.

Boats are displayed on land and it can either remain on a small trailer or sit on stands.  Boats can include row boats, canoes, kayaks, skiffs and daysailers.

Your boat does not need to be in "show contest" condition as there will be no judging of your efforts.  Every wooden boat carries with it the passion of the owner.

Rules are simple:

  • All boats must have a wooden hull
  • Boats must not be for sale - NO for sale signs
  • The boat must be able to be on site all days of the festival - (security is provided so no boats may leave the site without permission from the festival director)
  • The owner need not be in attendance at all times
  • The boat shall display information about the build or restoration

Simply fill in the registration form below and click submit and then we will contact you regarding your acceptance as there is limited space available.  You will need at least one photo of your boat to upload from you computer before you can complete your registration, so have your best ones ready.
