BCA Water Wonderland Chapter

Marque Club

Although the Water Wonderland Chapter was founded in Traverse City (northwest region of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula), its members not only hail from throughout the state, but across the Midwest. Our predominant “market”, however, tends to be the western and northern portions of the Lower Peninsula, along with the entire Upper Peninsula. Accordingly, chapter officers and directors make a concerted effort to plan events throughout the region, as to not only appeal to the entire membership, but to visit new and unexplored locales. As is fitting with antique and classic boats, tradition plays an important role in the yearly activities of the chapter. After a long, cold winter of howling winds and drifting snow, members are quite eager to embark upon another season of Michigan boating and activities. By May, spring is in full swing, boats are beginning to find their way from trailer to water and the WWC/ACBS Spring dinner is always a hit. Alternating every year from a northern to southern location, chapter members have enjoyed dinners in as varied spots ranging from quaint country inns to secluded lakefront restaurants. In most cases, a guest speaker will present a program as well. Occasionally, our chapter is honored to have fellow member Chris Smith (grandson of the founder of Chris Craft) as our featured speaker at our dinners.
