T

he Oriental In-Water Boat Show was originally scheduled for April 17-19. But it was hard to hold a boat show with a legal gathering limit of 10 people. Oriental’s boat show is one of the few events that has been re-scheduled with hard dates – it is now set for September 25-27, 2020.

Meanwhile, there is way you can show your colors, and keep the boat show spirit alive.

You can get an Oriental Boat Show burgee. From Boat Show organizer, Sam Myers:

While we must wait until late September for the 12th annual Oriental In-water Boat Show, we don’t have to wait for this spiffy new boat show offering.

Manufactured by Prestige Flag & Banner Company, the Oriental Boat Show burgees are heavy-duty UV-treated nylon with brass grommets and are printed on both sides.

Be the first kid on your block to fly one by visiting Nautical Wheelers or The Provision Company, or by contacting the Rotary Club’s Boat Show Headquarters – email director@orientalboatshow.com or call 252-249-0228.
OBS burgees are $27 at our retailers; add $5 more if you need one mailed.

Here’s the burgee, modeled at the town dock by a visiting Dutch hand model.

The burgees are well made, ready to withstand a small craft advisory.
