Our annual Boat Show weekend is July 11, 12, 13, 2008 and once again promises to be
one of the most significant wooden boat shows in the northeast. Annually, some
75-85 boats appear at the village dock at Alex Bay and represent some of the
finest "in use" classics to be found anywhere.
As you will read elsewhere, our unique judging system- awarding multiple
equal prizes within the same class- is becoming the new standard for
wooden boat shows all over the country.

dock plan much easier to arrange.
