“A great show is an understatement, but that is what?s to be expected when you have the right combination of people, wooden boats and weather. Mystic Seaport seemed to attract the "right" attendee; enthusiastic wooden boat aficionados. “Where else can you be standing next to a sharpie from the late 1800’s and, in my case, a skiff finished late the night prior”

~ Edward Sutt, Synergy Boatworks

“We were pleasantly surprised at the mix of boaters and enthusiasts. The venue was great. The boats and location all helped to make the show interesting and successful. We plan to attend next year.”

~ Bob Pattison, Neil Pryde Sails

“The show appears to have been an overwhelming success for us. Everything you are doing is much appreciated.”

~ David Jacques, President, Boatsense Solutions Inc.
