Georgetown Wooden Boat Show, October 20th
The Georgetown Wooden Boat Show is a great family event and has been a big success.
Front Street is blocked off and filled with spectators, music, food, and other vendors. Beautiful wooden boats can be admired on their trailers and at the docks.
This is a fine event worth attending.

Both young and old will enjoy the Georgetown Wooden Boat Show. This celebration of the maritime heritage of South Carolina’s third oldest city and second largest port features a wooden boat exhibit with more than 100 classic wooden boats displayed on land and water, a wooden boatbuilding competition, children’s model boatbuilding, knot tying, maritime art and crafts, food, music and more!

Your support in the past has not only made this show the most shipshape of its class on the Southeast coast, but has also allowed the Harbor Historical Association of Georgetown to launch the South Carolina Maritime Museum in the Fall of 2011. Since getting underway, the Museum has been attracting increasing numbers of landlubbers and old salts alike, even though only about one-fourth of the available exhibit space is being utilized. The ship’s officers of the Museum have decided not to opt for deficit financing; adding the proper exhibits will come as the funds become available. That is where we hope your generosity will help to ensure smooth sailing for the Museum.
Wooden Boat & Commercial Exhibits | More Info
An estimated 100 classic wooden boats will be displayed in the water, along the boardwalk and on Front Street. Vessels ranging in size from kayaks to large yachts will be exhibited in twelve categories: row, canoe, kayak, surfboard, sail, inboard power, outboard power, classic sail, classic inboard power, classic outboard power, owner designed and built, and century class. Visitors will be able to meet and talk to wooden boat craftsmen, manufacturers and owners. And a fascinating variety of marine vendors, businesses, artists and craftsmen whose products or services are relevant to boaters will be represented.
Boatbuilding Challenge | More Info
The boatbuilding competition will begin at noon under the big tent on Broad Street. Two-man teams will race to build a rowing skiff within a four hour time limit. At 5pm the competitors will test their completed skiffs for seaworthiness in a rowing relay across the Sampit River. The teams will be judged on speed of construction, quality of work and rowing ability. The Dynamite Payson National Championship Award will be presented to the winner of the National Boatbuilding Competition. The top three winning teams from last year’s Boatbuilding Challenge in Georgetown and Beaufort NC are eligible to compete for this prestigious award. These teams will also be competing in the Georgetown Challenge.
