- ...Members of the Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society will display a number of finely restored classic wooden boats. The boats on display will include a 1927 Chris-Craft runabout and a 1947 Ventnor Class E runabout named "Hurry Home," which got its name at the height of World War II when coming home was on the minds of soldiers and their families. Visitors can experience the restoration process first-hand and talk with ACBS members and local restorer George Hazzard of Wooden Boat Restoration in Millington.

If you're a fan of classic boats, a history buff or simply appreciate fine craftsmanship, be sure to stop by this display of classic wooden boats owned by members of the Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the Antique & Classic Boat Society (ACBS). Lovingly restored powerboats, ranging in size from a small outboard to a top-of-the-line, three-cockpit runabout, give you the chance to see a bit of history up close and offer insights into the long and storied tradition of boating on the Bay.
The NMMA Baltimore Boat Show
- "If you are keen on antique boats, classic wooden boats owned by members of the Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the Antique & Classic Boat Society (ACBS) will impress you."

Have You Checked Out Our Events Calendar for September? |
September is hands-down the busiest month in our area for antique boat shows and events. This year we have 9 classic boating events on our calendar, ranging from ACBS International's Annual Meeting to our Chesapeake Bay Chapter's " SeptemberFest". Most of our Mid-Atlantic sister chapters will also sponsor popular activities this September, like the Philadelphia Chapter's 11th Tuckerton Seaport Boat Show and the Smith Mountains Lake Chapter's 20th Festival. And then there are also non-ACBS events that we love, including the unique "weekend gathering" in Reedville, VA.
You'll find our calendar listings under the "Events & Activities" tab, accessible from any page on our website. Better yet, go to the lower right side of our Home page and you'll find a preview of all of our calendar events within the next 30 days. Just click on whichever one(s) interest you and the link will take you inside to the calendar details.
We look forward to seeing you at one of these many September events. |

Our Oktoberfest becomes SeptemberFest This Year |
|
It's tough trying to have an enjoyable river cruise in a downpour. And unfortunately our chapter's Okoberfest the last several years has fallen on some pretty inclement days.
So we're morphing Oktoberfest into "SeptemberFest" this year, in search of better boating weather. The date for our 2010 fall party will be Saturday, Sept. 18.
Otherwise if you've attended before, you know the drill.
And if you haven't joined us before, you'll want to put it on your "Don't Miss This" list.
Either way, here are the basics:

New Launch Ramp Selected as Departure Point for Choptank River "Scouting" Cruise on Aug 28 |
|
Note the Location change...
This cruise is a test run--we're planning to organize a similar excursion
after our 2011 St. Michaels Festival next summer.
Join us on Saturday, August 28 when we'll depart at 10 am from the launch ramp
at the Choptank Marina on the Eastern Shore. Lunch will be at a local restaurant.
Everyone and ALL boats welcome!!!
If you're interested, let us know as soon as possible.

Dear Members and Friends:
As many of you already know, our Annual Boat Festival was a tremendous success. We would like to thank all who participated.
We were privileged this year to have professional photographer Charles Milsap document our show.
We would like to thank Charles and his staff for "capturing" a truly quality show. He has offered to allow us access to download some of his work for future Chapter publicity projects.
I encourage everyone to visit his website: www.chessiephoto.com. There may be a great shot of your boat there! Please join us in supporting his efforts. I'm certain that Charles would appreciate your business.
Warmest regards,
Maryann Fiaschetti
President ACBS/CBC and
2010 Boat Festival Chair
