Wooden Boat Assoc.

The Wooden Boat Association of North Texas

Welcome to the hands-on wooden boat club!

Wood is Good!

Join us in our various activities all designed for the enjoyment of antique and classic boating. Our Club, founded in the 1980s, is an active, involved and dedicated group. We meet monthly and sponsor or participate in a number of in-the-water shows and events.

The Purposes of our Club are:

  • To provide a means of sharing a common interest in antique and classic boating

  • To promote the restoration and preservation of wooden boats.

  • To educate and inform the public about the historic significance of our antique and classic boats.

Club Membership Benefits:

  • Hands-on repair and refinishing of each other's boats

  • Monthly meetings with special presentations

  • Member-to-Member Lending Library

  • Rendezvous and picnics on area lakes

  • Show of classic and antique wooden boats to the public

  • Fellowship

  • Yearly banquet for awards and recognition of club officers

  • Our Constitution and By-laws

WBA Monthly Meetings are on

Thursdays. Don't Miss It!

Meetings are usually held on Thursdays at 7 p.m. at Two Guys from Italy at 11637 Webb Chapel Road, just south of Forest Road in Dallas, TX.

Meetings are a great opportunity to socialize with fellow WBA members and to talk shop on questions on everything from paint and varnish to carburetor kits. The meetings usually feature a presentation by someone related to the industry.

As always, we'll have generous helpings of fellowship and Italian food.

Join us for a light meal and moderate libation at 5:30 p.m. at Two Guys from Italy prior to the meeting. We encourage you to join us for dinner, so we'll always have the required minimum number of diners to avoid a room charge.
