The Boat Show
SHOWCASING THE
Chris-Craft SPORTSMAN
MODELS
The Les Cheneaux Islands Antique Wooden
Boat Show, held each year in Hessel,
Michigan, has been a major attraction
since it began in 1978. The show averages
150 entries each year and is one of the
largest shows featuring antique and classic
wooden boats.
Some of the countryʼs finest boats call
the beautiful Les Cheneaux Islands home.
Most of these boats are used daily during
the summer months as a primary mode of
transportation to and from the cottages
dotting the areaʼs 36 sheltered islands.
Les Cheneaux has a rich heritage in boat
building and repair. Our craftsmen
continue to offer some of the finest
restoration and repair services available.
Entries in the boat show arrive each
August from as far as California and
Florida and include dinghies, rowboats,
canoes, launches, sailboats, utilities,
runabouts, large cruisers, racers and
classic glass.
The Antique Wooden Boat Show is
sponsored by the Les Cheneaux Historical
Association, in cooperation with Mertaugh
Boat Works, Hessel Harbor Association
and the Hessel Marina. The Historical
Association uses the proceeds from this
event, along with other contributions, to
maintain and enhance the Historical and
Maritime Museums, both of which are
located in nearby Cedarville.

This year for the first time we will be
showcasing a specific marque and/or
model. In keeping with our Les Cheneaux
history of having the first Chris-Craft
dealership and also being an early fishing
resort community; the Chris-Craft
Sportsman will be featured.
Chris-Craft built their first Sportsman
Be sure to stop by the museums while
attending the Antique Wooden Boat Show
and relive the rich history of our area.
Festival of Arts
models in 1937 and 1938 when the 15.5
foot Deluxe Runabout and the 24 foot
Utility could be ordered without a stern
seat for improved movement around the
engine box when fishing. This model
designation was eventually used with over
40 different boats in the Chris-Craft fleet.
Three Sportsman models: a 14 foot Kit
Boat, the 17 foot, and 22 foot Post War
Utilities had production figures in excess of
2000 each. We will have a special award
for these boats; so if you have a
Chris-Craft Sportsman, please consider
bringing it to Hessel this year.
Held in conjunction with the Antique Wooden
Boat Show is the Festival of Arts. Artists display
and sell a variety of artwork, including photographs, paintings, pottery, stained glass, textiles
and jewelry. Around 70 of the midwestʼs finest
artists participate in this juried show.
