Tony Mollica will lead an informative presentation on the historical design and engineering techniques of popular boat builders. On Sunday the presenters will hold a panel discussion with recommendations for properly winterizing your boat as well as preparing it for a new boating season. Participants in the symposium will also have a private tour of the Doebler Building which houses almost half of the Museum’s Collection, led by Emmett Smith, Curator of Watercraft.
