Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Boat Auction

[Floridagent]

As a member of the museum, I wanted to let my colleagues on CPYOA know about this annual event.  No Com-pacs in the auction but plenty of other interesting craft.

The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (CBMM) is hosting its 18th annual Charity Boat Auction on Saturday, September 5, 2015 with proceeds benefiting the children and adults served by the museum. The live auction begins at 11am along the museum's waterfront campus, where more than 100 boats—ranging in size and performance from sailing dinghies to cabin cruisers, and everything in between—will be auctioned off to the highest bidders.  The event also includes a flea market-style tag sale from 9 a.m. till 11am in which visitors are able to purchase a variety of used boating gear, including ground tackle, electrical equipment, hardware, rope or chain, ladders, fishing tackle, motors, and more.

Beginning at 10:30am, beer and barbeque will be available for purchase. Boat sales are on-going throughout the year, with all auction boats subject to sale prior to the auction. Auction boats will be available for inspection at the museum, several days prior to the auction.
