Boatbuilders' Show on Cape Cod
|
|
The
Boatbuilders’ Show on Cape Cod will return
to Hyannis this February 8-10 at the Four
Points Sheraton. Last winter more than 2,000
people braved the wind and cold to visit the
first-ever show, more than doubling the
producers’ expectations. This year, boaters
looking for something other than
off-the-rack, production boats will find
more than 30 exhibitors and an even larger
variety of custom-built sail and powerboats
on display in one show, a showcase of
exclusively “Made in Massachusetts” boat
builders. “Smaller builders of custom boats
are often lost in the maze of mainstream
boat shows,” says Scott Dayton of Hyannis
Marina, a key organizer of the Boatbuilders’
Show. “So buyers looking for the kind of
craftsmanship and unique designs usually
found only in limited-production boats have
few opportunities to go on board and compare
workmanship and features. Very much like the
Maine Boatbuilders’ Show when it started
years ago, this is an opportunity for
smaller builders to show off their craft in
a larger venue, some for the first time
outside of their own showrooms.” The
Boatbuilders’ Show on Cape Cod promises
entertainment for the whole family, with
boatbuilding demonstrations, unique boating
accessories on display, plenty of food and
snacks, and beautifully crafted pleasure
boats to whet your appetite for the summer
ahead. Admission is $5. Children under 12
are free, and there is plenty of free
parking. Show hours are Friday 2/8 from 2PM
to 8PM, Saturday from 10AM to 6PM, and
Sunday from 10AM to 4PM.
