On Wednesday, May 20, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., the New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) will hold its popular hands-on workshop, Ready to Launch: A Women’s Boating Class, at Goodhue Boat Company in Wolfeboro.
“We are proud to serve as a statewide resource for all of New Hampshire’s boaters,” said Programs Director Anne Lennon. “This class is about more than just maintenance – it’s about empowering women from across the region to take the helm with confidence.”
Designed for both novice and experienced boaters, the session provides practical instruction on safety inspections, engine fluid checks, battery maintenance, jump-starting, and proper boat storage. In demystifying the mechanical side of boating, NHBM seeks to reduce stress and increase enjoyment on the water for everyone.
“Whether you’re a lifelong lake resident or a first-time visitor, we want to ensure every boater feels safe and prepared for the season ahead,” added Lennon.
Tickets are $30 for NHBM members and $35 for non-members. With limited space, early registration is encouraged. To register or explore NHBM’s complete 2026 calendar, visit nhbm.org.
