Seaport Day 2007 and Family Boat Building

The weather smiled upon our six boat-building families at our annual Seaport Day, which also included a wooden boat show, model boat-building, and rides on our Dory boat, the Potomac. Family members of all ages worked Saturday and the following day to complete and launch their boats, the ever popular Bevin Skiff. Some used it as a home-schooling project, others as a chance to reconnect with family members who live at a distance, still others because they just always wanted to build a boat! All were impressed by and commented on the skill and professionalism of our apprentices— always gratifying to hear. Our cadre of loyal volunteers turned out again, after having put in a sterling performance the day before at our Corporate Team Boat Building where they, too, built a boat. Thanks again to Vineyard Vines for providing tee-shirts and to all the many hands who made it possible.
