The boat show's location on Depot Slough offers a protected and serene spot for sailing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first year "Family Boat Building" became a Toledo Boat Show tradition.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Under the direction of Master Boat Builders Rick Johnson and Carl Chamberlin, above left, participants build their own 9 1/2 foot boat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rick Johnson, right, helps supervise the family-fun event.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then he helps families launch the brand-new boats on Sunday during the show.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Created by Carl Chamberlin, the "Nuf" design is made entirely from one sheet of marine plywood.
