Mountainview Woodies Classic Boat Club

...a brief history

MWCBC was originally formed in 1993 when a group of wooden boat enthusiasts met for an afternoon of fun at a friend's beach.  As usual, talk turned to the boats and thus the club was born.    The first Antique and Classic Boat Show consisted of a single rope attached to the Naples Town Pier to which was tied a few of the friends' boats.  In 2003 the club was officially chartered as a chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society.  Last year's show featured 42 entries--the show grows in size and popularity every year.  

2004 boatshowIn the days leading up to the Saturday show, additional events are also held, including a Sebago Lake tour and picnic, a parade followed by a reception, and a charity event in which rides are given to children at Camp Sunshine on Sebago Lake.  Camp Sunshine is a retreat for children dealing with major health issues, and the rides on the vintage boats have proven to be very popular with the children and with the participants alike.  

In 2006 the club held its first annual Foliage Cruise on the first weekend in October.  The Chief Clerk of the Weather smiled down upon us  with a spectacular day in which we cruised the entire fourteen mile length of Long Lake for lunch, and then returned home.
