More highlights from the recent MLA Port Carling wooden boat show:
We’re very grateful to our “secret sleuth” for the following description and photos of the recent antique/classic boat show in Port Carling, Muskoka.
The Muskoka Lakes Association bi-annual boat show once again wowed the huge crowds that swarmed Port Carling, thanks to a mention on the National nightly CBC news broadcast. The beautiful weather made for wonderful sight-seeing of boats like Rainbow III, which has returned home to Muskoka after 25+ years on Lake Tahoe. This year’s Theme was the Era of Elegance and there were many outstanding boats. Of particular note were…
Rainbow III, Miss Canada III, Marmilwood, Rainbow, Wa Chee We, Eaglet II, Res Ipsa Loquitor Adjea, Rambler, Wingberry and Blythwood II.
The Muskoka Sea Flea display, the Maple Chapter of the Antique Boat Motor Society and a number of antique cars added much interest to the show.
