The original No-Octane Regatta for Wooden Boats is back on Blue Mountain Lake and this time is launching from the new, waterfront home of the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts.
Bring your guideboat, canoe, pleasure rowboat, or small sailboat for a day of “messing about in boats."
Participate in events on the water, talk with other “boat nuts,” and join in the Grand Parade of Boats. Antique wooden boats, modern replicas, adaptations of traditional designs, or modern designs handmade primarily of wood are all welcome. The Regatta is an opportunity to talk with other lovers of small wooden watercraft, show off your boat, and have fun just “messing about.” The day will include several fun and mildly competitive events inspired by American Canoe Association events held in the 1880s in the Adirondacks including Hurry-Scurry, Jousting, and a couple of short races for different types of boats. We hope that everyone will participate in the Grand Parade of Boats. The event is free to participants, but registration is required.
Every boat must carry a USCG-approved life jacket (PFD) for each person in the boat. Children under 12 must wear theirs while on the water. Bring an anchor if you want to compete in the Hurry-Scurry. Helmets and poles will be provided for Jousting.

If you want to make a day (and evening) of it, join us for a ribbon-cutting event at noon, to celebrate our move to ALCA's new lakefront home, and stick around for the first of ALCA's 2025 Weekend Concert Series performances, the Schwarz & Bournaki Duo, at 7:30 pm. For tickets, go to:
