BAY STATE WOODIES is the Massachusetts chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society (ACBS).

Bay State Woodies Chapter is a group of people with the common interest in vintage boats. They are a small chapter, but with active and loyal members who come together to share fellowship, experiences, and information to maintain and preserve antique and classic boat.

They already have two main events planned for 2018.  The spring event is in May.

Their Annual Show will be held September 9, 2018:



54 International Chapters of ACBS

The Antique and Classic Boat Society has 54 Chapters throughout the United States, Canada, and France. ACBS members who affiliate with a home chapter find a group of friends with whom to share boating experiences, boat stories, and the skills needed to maintain and/or preserve and restore their vintage boats.  Inevitably, the genuine relationships formed at the chapter level are always mentioned when an ACBS member is asked why they value their ACBS membership.

When you click on the CHAPTERS tab in the menu above, a world map will appear showing the location of the ACBS Chapters.  Which one is closest to you?  Or maybe there is a chapter near the lake where you vacation that has an event scheduled which you could attend.

Many ACBS members belong to more than one chapter to extend their network of friends and experiences and to support the work done at a chapter level.  Chapters are welcome to post their events on the ACBS Events Calendar.  You can also learn more about chapters by going to the pages dedicated to each chapter on this website.  You will find those under the CHAPTERS tab in the top menu.


Please share information about your own chapter.  Anyone can do that.  You may email pictures and text to kathyparker@acbs.org.
