For amateurs: Home Built Boats Weekend Application.
Completing this form helps us know how much dock space will be needed at the event. 

If your boat is over 23 feet, first send us an email and tell us about your boat. There's a great chance we'll say yes. (Again, knowing will help us reserve dock space for your boat.)

Professionals are asked to email tim@timyeadon.com for more information.
