Georgetown Wooden Boat Show

The Georgetown Wooden Boat Show – always held on the third weekend in October – offers fun for the whole family. The show will feature one of our nation’s best wooden boat exhibits with more than 140 classic wooden boats displayed on land and water, a wooden boat-building competition, children’s model boat-building, knot tying, maritime art and crafts, food and music. A special attraction will be Saturday’s Wooden Boat Challenge, when teams of two race to build a rowing skiff within a four-hour time limit and then test their boats for seaworthiness in a rowing relay on the Sampit River.
