Family Boat Building Week
to
Deltaville Maritime Museum & Holly Point Nature Park 287 Jackson Creek Rd., Deltaville, Virginia 23043
2017 Family Boatbuilding Week at the Deltaville Maritime Museum will be held from July 16-22.
The Museum has helped 108 teams build their own wood crabbing skiffs. Our boat shop has carefully designed the kit for the skiffs so no prior knowledge of boat building is needed to complete the project. Some woodworking experience is helpful, but the museum volunteers will work with any team to make sure they complete their skiff. Two is a minimum number for a team, but three or four members make the job easier.
Saturday is race day. The skiffs are launched, rowed by the teams, and awards are presented in a variety of categories.
Sunday - Orientation 1-2 pm
Monday Thru Friday - Boat Building 8-4 pm
Saturday - Race starts at 10:30 am
