7th Annual Beaufort BoatBuilding Challenge
Entering it’s seventh year, the Beaufort BoatBuilding Challenge seeks to celebrate and maintain the long tradition of boatbuilding and other maritime occupations along the North Carolina coast. The event takes place on the waterfront in historic Beaufort, North Carolina.
The challenge is a two-man team competition (and in the first year two all-girl teams entered the fray). Each team builds an identical 12 foot skiff within a four hour time limit. Speed of construction and quality of workmanship are both considered in determining the winners.
