Louse Point Boat Picnic
Sunday, August 2nd, 10AM - 4PM
 Members will bring their boats and food to share at the Boat Picnic. We will meet at the end of Louse Point road on the harbor side. This year we will have more boats than ever for you to try your hand at rowing, paddling and sailing. We are planning to have town parking restrictions lifted during our event so you can invite family and friends to join the picnic. The 12 1/2 foot Swampscott dory (pictured below) that members have been building at the
Community Boat Shop by volunteering their time will have its first sea
trials at the Boat Picnic. Raffle tickets for the dory are being sold
to raise funds for maintaining the Community Boat Shop.
