WELCOME!
The 2021 Worldwide Classic Boat Show is an online gathering of great
classic boats, festivals, organizations, and people from around the world.
Location: Online at ClassicBoatShow.com
Dates: February 19th – 28th
 
WHAT COUNTS AS A “CLASSIC”?
In our view, “classic” has many meanings and our selection process will be more inclusive rather than less. A great boat that’s a bit funky and has a good story can be just as “classic” as a perfectly-varnished yacht. We will lean towards hand-crafted boats (made of any hull material), but won’t be including modern production fiberglass boats. True “classic plastic” boats are definitely welcome.
SUBMITTING YOUR BOAT(S) IS EASY AND FREE:
1. CLICK HERE to get started
2. Then click “Create an Account” and fill in your desired login info
(this is a different website than OCH so you’ll need to create a new account)
3. Then complete the Boat Entry Form as best you can
4. Make sure you click “SUBMIT LISTING” at the bottom and wait for confirmation that your submission is saved!
5. You can keep fine-tuning (editing) your boat’s page after submitting it
NOTE: Boats selected for the show will be notified before the show
HOW TO EDIT/UPDATE YOUR BOAT’S PAGE:
1. CLICK HERE to return to the Show site
2. Log in to your account (if you’re not already signed in)
3. Click “Profile” in the top right corner of the page
4. Click “Edit” on the listing you would like to update
5. Make sure you click “SUBMIT LISTING” at the end to save your changes!
COMPLETE ENTRIES WILL BE PRIORITIZED:
Please read our emails carefully — they should contain everything you need. Since our tiny crew won’t have time to go back and forth with hundreds of boat owners regarding incomplete submissions, we’ll need to prioritize entries that are completed with the following:
– Three or more good/quality photos, and preferably 6+ photos (we need to see your boat well!)
– The information and specs requested in our form
– A thoughtful and informative description (Where did this boat come from? Why do you love it?)
– Good supplements are an optional plus (e.g. videos/clips, blogs, or social media links)
COST:
There will be no fee for boats to be included in the show, and if accepted, your boat’s inclusion will earn you one free ticket (login) to the Show. Off Center Harbor is funding all costs of the Show this first year. We’re not accepting sponsorships or advertising, and tickets are just $5 for full access. Our hope is to create something that is beneficial to the entire wooden/classic boating field around the world. That said, many have suggested that we create a “tip jar” for voluntary contributions/donations and we may do that.
SAMPLE:
Here’s a sample boat profile to give you an idea of what your boat’s page at the show could look like…
