Show Highlights
The C. Thomas Clagett, Jr. Memorial Clinic and Regatta
A non-profit organization named after the late C. Thomas Clagett, Jr., a U.S. Navy, WW II veteran who loved to sail on the Chesapeake Bay. In his youth, Tom suffered temporary paralysis from a bout of meningitis; an experience that left him with a deep respect for the accomplishments of people with disabilities.
Mark your calendars. In-person Trawlerfest events, presented by Passagemaker, are officially back, starting in an exciting all-new location: Newport, Rhode Island, August 24-28, 2021.
The Trawlerfest Events Team is excited to bring your favorite boat show and seminar series to Newport, a historic town deeply rooted in maritime tradition. With New England being such a popular destination for summer cruising, we have always felt that Newport was a natural fit for a summer Trawlerfest location. Plus, you can’t beat the late-season weather in Newport—and we hear the chowder’s pretty good, too.
With all that this iconic Rhode Island seaport has to offer, the Newport International Boat Show is a great reason to visit September 15-18, 2016, at Newport Yachting Center, Oldport Marine, Bannister's Wharf and Bowen's Wharf. From the event website: more
