Family Boat Building Week

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.

Space is limited to ten teams and each team is open to family members age nine years old and older.  Hamburgers and Hot Dogs will be provided on Saturday.

Please contact the Museum Office at (804) 453-6529 or by email at office@rfmuseum.org for more information or to reserve your skiff.  Be sure to visit the RFM website: rfmuseum.org, to explore the Museum’s other activities and events.
