Meetings

Our meetings are held at the Community Presbyterian Church, 407 Main Street, in Mount Prospect, Illinois, on the third Wednesday of every month from 7:15 pm to 9:30 pm. These sessions include current news in the model ship building community, kit reviews, technical and historical presentations, and a “Ships on Deck” period where members discuss their current projects, and any difficulties they may be encountering.

Guests are always welcome at our meetings. So, if you are interested in model ship building, and want to learn more about the hobby, or just want to be around other individuals who appreciate the beauty of ships, please join us at our next get-together.

Gar Wood and His Boats
By John Pocius

Whether or not you love speed boats, you will be fascinated by John's presentation and the sheer beauty of the many hand-crafted wooden boats from the classic era of boat building. We will be shown a historical news reel about Gar Wood, the legendary industrialist, boat racer and builder and then John will present a history of Gar Wood the man and his racing boats. John has built many models of this type boat, which may inspire you to build some of your own. Be sure to join us for this great look at the art of boat building.
