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.
In
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.
