Saturday August 9th: Wooden Sailboat Lecture

Re-making History: The Sound Inter Club Restorations and Reintroduction to Lake George. – August 9, Saturday, 7:30 pm, MGM Church

The fast and powerful 1926 Sound Inter Club sailboats were raced and sailed first on Long Island Sound, but as many as 10 of them were brought to Lake George in the late 1930s and 40s, where they were enjoyed for decades by the rich and glamorous on Lake George. Of the 28 ever built, only five remain today. Wooden boat builder Reuben Smith tells the story of the painstaking, careful restoration of two of these boats, as well as the historic reintroduction of the class to Lake George.
