Family Boat Building - A Fun Time for All!

The Reedville Fishermen’s Museum is once again hosting their annual Family Boat Building Weekend. Your craft, a 9’6” rowing skiff, is built from a kit with hand tools and basic wooden boat building techniques that have been in use for generations on the Chesapeake Bay. The boat is completed and ready for painting at the end of the 2 ½ day adventure. Experienced and dedicated instructors from the Museum’s Boat Shop have created the kit and will be on hand to guide your team through-out the weekend.

This is a great opportunity to spend time with your family in the quiet rhythms of hand tools and ripples from the nearby creek. When you leave on Sunday, you’ll have memories of fun, knowledge of basic skills and a nice little boat as a result of your labors and laughter.

Contact the office at 804-453-6529 for an application, or download the registration form from their website, rfmuseum.org. This is a GREAT opportunity to spend quality time with your kids, grand-kids or other assorted family members!
