Model Boat Show 2009: Photographs

The historic waterfront village of Woods Hole, MA, provides handsome settings for boat models at The Community Hall, The Marine Biological Laboratory Club, and The Woods Hole Historical Museum to name a few sites, all within a short stroll of each other and always in view of the water.

Yachts, tugs, scientific, historic and military vessels of all sizes, with exquisite, and sometimes whimsical details on display represent many regional and national boat building clubs and a few international clubs, in addition to many individual enthusiasts.

American Model Yachting Association display
The American Model Yachting Association is devoted to promoting the designing, building, racing, and preservation of all model sailing yachts. The AMYA was founded in 1970 through the efforts of the famous "nine", who were scattered across the country and Canada and represented a different class of yacht along with their Association duties.
