Madisonville, La. Wooden Boat Festival
Oct 25th-26th, 2003



These are pictures from the Madisonville, LA wooden boat festival. I didn't go, but my friend Ken Abrahams did and sent these pictures. They have a "Quick and Dirty Boatbuilding Contest" where boats are constructed on Saturday, and then on Sunday they parade them on the way to racing them. Propulsion is sail and/or paddle, includes two directions of sail.
