Port of Toledo's Family Boat Build, 2013
March 25-29 2013 (Spring Break)

The Port of Toledo is hosting a Family Boat Build at the Toledo Community Boathouse


This year, we are building QT Skiffs - excellent little boats capable of carrying two adults and light enough to be transported on top of a car.

This event is open to any family or team that can

  • pay the $200 Participation Fee
  • commit to fielding at least four (4) participants - 12-years-old or older - each day of the event

There are no additional costs - for $200, you and your team get to build, paint, and go home with a real, functioning, boat.

Interested? Contact the Port of Toledo with your check for $200 and your list of participants.
