The Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle has always had the mission of getting people on the water. Again this year , next Saturday, it is providing free boating on Lake Union. See below for details. Kudos to the CWB. KH
You are invited to The Center for Wooden Boats on Sunday April 28th from 10-4PM to where we will be holding our third annual Free Boating Day! At last year’s Free Boating Day we were able to provide 580 people with free boating experiences.
What To Expect:
- Free Boat Rentals: Enjoy complimentary 1-hour rentals of all human-powered boats, including peapods, rowboats, and canoes.
- Free Sailboat Checkouts: Sailors who have their sailing check out cards with us will take advantage of our free sailboat checkouts
- Public Sail: Free Boating Day will be our first Public Sail of the year! We will provide skippered boat rides on historic wooden boats. Sign up is on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to head outside of the Wagner Education Center early to secure your spot. Public Sail happens the last Sunday of every month from April-October.
- Youth and Family Activities: Keep the little ones entertained with a variety of free activities, including toy boat building, knot tying, woodshop demonstrations, and the chance to try a tool. Plus, Pond Boat demonstrations courtesy of the Pacific Northwest Model Yacht Club!
