 Join
families in all 50 states and many countries during this great event for
wooden boats and family fun!
It began in 1998 when 60 families built and launched their own boat in beautiful St. Michaels, MD.
Since then, this family boatbuilding event has spread
throughout the world! And you can be part of it in Plymouth—
North Carolina's only location for the event this year!

 You'll
be guided by master boatbuilder Marvin
Spencer as you and your family build a beautiful little Bevins skiff,
perfect for more family fun on the water!
An added bonus is that you'll build your boat next to the new replica of
the Roanoke River Lighthouse and the Maritime Museum.
The Bevins skiff,
designed by Joe Youcha of Alexandria Seaport Foundation, is a flat
bottomed rowing skiff with moderate rocker and a handsome sheer. At 11'
8" in length and 4' 6" in width, this skiff rows exceptionally
well, is stable and well suited for sheltered waters. She is framed in
Douglas fir, has marine plywood sides and bottom, and cypress seats. She
is fastened in bronze and can be finished to your taste when you return
home with her. She's a potential family heirloom and at the very least, a
great memory maker!
The $755.00 kit
includes oarlocks and sockets and a set of sawhorses. Oars are
available. Call for pricing. Requirements: MINIMUM of 3 for each
family or group.
Limited to 15 groups. Call 252-793-4777
or 252-793-3939 today to sign up or get more information.
