Meet at the Beach/Connecticut Kayakers Picnic

Join the casual gathering of kayak builders and kayak users at Bluff Point Stated Park.
Is a fun gathering which gives us a chance to meet other builders and paddlers and talk shop a bit. People generously let others try out their boats. It is great fun to see the variety of designs and techniques used. There is everything from very traditional skin-on-frame Greenland style kayaks to innovative new skin-on-frame hybrids, as well as strip-built and stitch-and-glue.
The gathering is free and open to all. It is held in the sheltered waters beside the state park suitable for beginners and novice paddlers. A short paddle brings you to the open waters of Long Island Sound. People will start showing up around 10:00 am and stay until they are tired. You do not need to bring a boat. The event happens rain or shine.
For more than 20 years kayak builders have gathered to see each others new projects at the beach. It has become an annual rendezvous of local to Connecticut paddlers of all sorts even if you don't build kayaks.
Bring your kayak, go for an easy paddle, bring some food to share, sit around and talk to old friends and new.
