The Hodgdon Boat Owner's Rendezvous portion of the event will be dedicated to celebrating boats that have been built by the company over the past two centuries.

"Turning 200 years old is something that we're very proud of," said Timothy Hodgdon, president of Hodgdon Yachts. "The fleet of boats that we've built ranges from the Supermaxi Comanche to the arctic exploration schooner Bowdoin, to Superyachts, military vessels, limousine tenders, small pleasure boats, and lobster boats. We're looking forward to getting as many of these together as possible and celebrating with their owners."
