Port Orchard, Washington – The beautiful and historic town of PortOrchard, Washington will come alive Thursday, July 9 through Sunday, July 12 2009 with the arrival of a fleet of some of the world’s most prized pleasure boats. This event is a true highlight of summer on the water in the Pacific Northwest.
According to John Deane, chairman of the Pacific Northwest Chris Craft Rendezvous, more than one hundred of the classic boats are expected for the event, with four days of food and fun, free to the public. “Chris Craft owners are encouraged to bring their boats, whether in perfect condition or not”, he said. “Part of the fun is seeing the progress boat owners make from year to year.”
He added that there will be a swap meet and a lot for boat owners to learn. “If their boat is a ‘showboat’ already, it will be in good company”, Deane said. Boat owners should register in advance to ensure moorage and participation in the gathering’s many activities. For the 20th annual Chris Craft Rendezvous, the entire guest moorage area of the Port Orchard marina has been reserved exclusively for the four day event.
The collection of varnished mahogany, polished stainless steel and the good vibes that seem to emanate from any large collection of wooden boats will be hard to miss! Scheduled activities include live music each day, a nautical swap meet, the popular Saturday Port Orchard Farmers’ Market and food, food, food.
