Florida Gulf Coast Traditional Small Craft Festival

The 12th Annual Great Florida Gulf Coast Traditional Small Craft Festival will be held on April 21-23 at the Sarasota Sailing Squadron. The Sarasota Sailing Squadron will be hosting the festival in partnership with the Florida Gulf Coast Traditional Small Craft Association.

Saturday will include a boat building demonstration by Bedard Yacht Design, and talk by Halsey Herreshoff. A Squadron provided dinner will be available for a nominal ticket price. Amenities available at the Squadron include camping, limited RV options, clubhouse, bar with snack foods, large porches and meeting pavilions. There are plenty of launching options including beaches, ramps and a hoist.

Registration is free but required so Squadron management can designate a location for your craft. To help with planning we request that you email your intentions with number of people attending and boat details to: fgctsca@gmail.com
