The Wooden Boat Society of the San Juan Islands is holding the 11th Annual Wooden Boat Rendezvous on Sept. 3 to 5 in Deer Harbor.

All wooden boats are welcome: oar, power and sail. Wooden boats of all sizes attend the rendezvous, from rowboats to motor launches, and daysailers to historic tall ships. Most of the boats moor at the Deer Harbor Marina, and are available for public viewing throughout the two-day gathering.

Monday, Sept. 3

Boats arrive on Monday, Sept. 3 with a potluck on the dock that evening.

Tuesday, Sept. 4

Sailing regatta: breakfast is held at the Deer Harbor Inn at 8 a.m., followed by a meeting for race participants at 9 a.m. The regatta will begin in the late morning, wind permitting, and will take boats through the scenic islands and challenging currents of Wasp Passage. There will be a paddling and rowing race late Tuesday afternoon, following the sailboat regatta. Everyone is welcome at the evening barbecue. The menu includes locally caught salmon, local organic produce and homebrew beer.
