Welcome to the Columbia Willamette Chapter
WELCOME
The CWC (Columbia Willamette Chapter) of ACBS (Antique and Classic Boat Society) is excited to have you follow our happenings.
Our dedicated Board of Directors almost as large as the original membership, organize Cruises, Boat Shows, Educational Events, and FUN.
Summer is here, and with it comes one of the most exciting stretches on our calendar. Whether you’re a longtime member or just discovering the world of classic and antique boats, there’s never been a better time to get on the water with us.
This summer is packed with opportunities to cruise, connect, and celebrate the boats we love. In July, join us for a weekday cruise from Ridgefield to St. Helens with lunch at the Plymouth Pub, or catch the Sandpoint Antique and Classic Boat Show (July 11–13) and the 3rd Annual Lakeside Antique and Classic Boat and Car Show (July 24–26). One of the highlights of the month is a special weekend cruise along the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, passing the PT boat facility and finishing with lunch hosted by members residing at the Tomahawk floating homes — RSVP required.
In August, we cruise upstream to Champoeg Park for a BYO picnic, head to the Coeur d’Alene Antique & Classic Boat Festival (August 16–17), and wrap up the month with a cruise to the Puffin Restaurant in Camas and the Lake Oswego Car and Boat Show on August 30.
Looking ahead, don’t miss the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival over Labor Day weekend (September 4–6) and the ACBS International Boat Show in Port Huron, Michigan (September 13–20).
And of course, our standing weekly traditions continue all season long — Men’s Luncheon every Thursday at 11:00 am at the Portland Yacht Club, and the Pearl Girls Women’s Luncheon every second Thursday.
We hope to see you on the water this summer. Check the full calendar for details, and reach out to a board member if you have questions about any event.
Fair winds and following seas!
