Did you know that once a year, right here in Middlesex County on the Middle Peninsula, people from all over the country get together to build a boat — in just a single week? And that they can take this sleek, floating watercraft home?
Would it amaze you to watch families of folks just like yourselves turn these little stacks of raw wood into beautiful, 14-foot skiffs? Would you believe it is happening right here in Deltaville? Is it possible it might be happening within easy driving distance? Could it be a one-of-a-kind event? Is it totally open to the public? Yes!
There is no admission fee.
Watch the “build” families “hands on” with woodworking tools, work as a family team to problem solve, and share a wonderful experience on pristine Mill Creek at Deltaville Maritime Museum’s waterfront. This all happens Monday, June 17-Saturday, June 22. The Great Skiff Race starts at 10 a.m. on Saturday the 22nd, and the trophy presentation is immediately after. Come by road or water.
