OkoumeFest features an open house with technical seminars on Friday at the CLC plant in Annapolis\, and on Saturday an on-the-water rendezvous at Matapeake State Park on Kent Island. This event is RAIN OR SHINE. Please note that if thunderstorms are detected nearby we’ll bring the boats off the water. \nThe Friday seminars are informative and fun\, but the highlight of OkoumeFest always comes on Saturday\, when we bring virtually everything in our shop over to the beach at Matapeake for our friends to paddle\, row\, sail\, and generally put through their paces. We also encourage fellow boatbuilders to bring their homebuilt watercraft to show and compete for best-in-show honors and various awards. \nOkoumeFest is also a special chance to try some of the boats\, such as PocketShip\, that they can’t usually take on the road with them. You’ll also be able to try out new designs\, such as the Jimmy Skiff II\, Tenderly XP\, and the Waterlust Sailing Canoe. Attendance is free on both days this year\, but please RSVP so that CLC can plan for the hordes. \nFriday [schedule] features an open house at the CLC factory with shop tours\, boatbuilding seminars with experts\, and a cookout. Everything in the CLC store will be discounted\, including boat kits. \nOn Saturday [schedule] the event moves to Matapeake State Park on Kent Island\, where nearly 60 CLC boats will line the beach. They welcome you to try out boats all day long\, or bring your own to show off.
