Wooden Boat Rendezvous

3-5 September 2018.

Scroll down for details.

Please join us! All wooden boats are welcome: oar, power, sail, and steam. Wooden boats of all sizes attend the Rendezvous including kayaks, rowboats, motor launches, day-sailers, cruising sailboats and historic tall ships. Most boats moor at the Deer Harbor Marina and are available for public viewing at no charge. The Rendezvous is a low-key celebration of wooden boats, held in one of the most scenic harbors in the Pacific Northwest. Activities include the following:

Monday (Sept 3) 

Most boats will arrive by late afternoon. We will hold an informal potluck on the dock at about 6:30 pm.

Tuesday (Sept 4)

- Sailboat race starting at noon on Tuesday (instructions below). Please attend the skippers meeting at 9 am on the dock!

- Paddle/row race, starting at 4 pm 

- Dinner and music! The Rendezvous Dinner this year will be simpler, more affordable, and located on the floats at Deer Harbor Marina starting at 5:30 pm. Grilled salmon, ice cream, beer, and wine will be available at a reasonable cost. Please bring your favorite side dishes to share in a potluck. We anticipate a great time and look forward to seeing many old friends and some new ones too.

Contact the Deer Harbor Marina at (360) 376-3037 to reserve a slip for the Rendezvous.
