The FLC Boat Show is an ACBS-judged event held annually on the last full weekend of July
The site, in the center of town, is convenient to many shops and restaurants. The Show is hosted by the Finger Lakes Chapter and the Skaneateles Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation. Exhibitors are finding it much easier to maneuver and secure their boats with the docks that replaced the old wooden docks some of them may recall. The slips are two feet wider, the 'fingers' are 24' long and wider as well, and the main dock is a full six feet in width, allowing for safer and more secure footing for all.
The Show affords visitors an exhibit of over 40 antique and classic boats in the water and many land displays with an opportunity to speak to the owners. We encourage owners of fiberglass classics to exhibit their boats. All entries are eligible for judging in accordance with the Antique and Classic Boat Society (ACBS) standards
We feature a popular boat-launching service where exhibitors are met at the launch ramp by our launch crew, who carefully unload their boats and then park their tow vehicles and trailers so they may enjoy the ride to town in their boat, unconcerned about the disposition of their vehicle and trailer. At the close of the show on Sunday, the launch crew can bring vehicles and trailers back to the ramp to reload the exhibitors’ boats again, with the skillful assistance of our launch staff. With the 40 in-water displays and additional room in the adjacent park for land displays, the FLC strives to accommodate many types of boats, which makes for an interesting and enjoyable show for visitors and boat owners alike.
