Jam packed weekend in Camden.

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

The Camden Windjammer Weekend, and especially the Build-a-Boat Contest and Race, was lots of fun last year, where kids got to build a boat and then race it in Camden Harbor.

Happily, it’s on again this year with all kinds of clever events — contests for kids, a puppet show, a boat parade, an outdoor concert, drawing classes, a Lobster Crate Race, the Build-a-Boat contest and race, and even a Schooner Crew Talent Show.

Besides just plain having fun, you’ll learn lots about the history, arts, crafts, skills, food and wild stories that accompany the beautiful Windjammers you see all over the coast of Maine.

Here are some links: — to photos taken last year — to this year’s schedule of events.

Tomorrow these three stunning Herreshoff Buzzard Bay Thirties will be launched at the Belfast public landing at 1:30 pm. Young Miss, Quakeress II, and Lady M have been fully restored by the very talented firm of French and Webb to their 1902 glory. Soon they will grace the waters of Finland, Martha’s Vineyard and Lake Michigan. These guys really know how to make a splash.
