So we’re excited to announce something we’ve been working on for quite awhile, The Off Center Crew writes — The Worldwide Classic Boat Show . . .
The lifeblood of this field is provided by festivals, shows, schools, museums, boatbuilders and many other artisans, publications and organizations. The truth is, we haven’t all been as connected and aware of each other’s work as we could be. Then the pandemic arrived and has been creating more distance between us all.
Over the past few months we have been asking this one question over and over:
worldwide reach to help most?”
We are developing a place for us all to connect, inform and inspire each other — a place where we can gather together to strengthen the world of classic and wooden boats so that we come out of this period much stronger than we were before it began. That includes enthusiasts’ awareness of, connection with, and support of organizations and craftspeople in the field.WHEN:
