Wooden Beauties Gather Sunday

If the sight of classic boats with gleaming varnish warms your heart, be sure to check out the annual Wooden Boat Show this Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Tiburon’s Corinthian YC. 

Put on by the Master Mariners Benevolent Association as a fundraiser, the show will include dozens of Northern California’s most spectacular vintage yachts and work boats. They all are lovingly maintained by their owners who spent countless hours of labor and an unmentionable amount of money keeping these beauties in museum-worthy condition. 

Walking among them is truly a feast for the eyes, and during the show owners will welcome you aboard to take a closer look at their boats’ fine craftsmanship and antique amenities. 

It’s an event that’s fun for the whole family and will reinforce the importance of maritime traditions in the minds of young attendees. There’ll be live music, model boat building for kids, and food and beverages on the club’s upper deck. Admission is $10; children under 12 are free accompanied by an adult.
