MATTAPOISETT – The Mattapoisett Yacht Club is holding a boat parade to support the Mattapoisett Boatyard, which was recently destroyed in a six-alarm fire. 

The yacht club’s invitation is to all community members to join them in a boat parade around the harbor on Sunday, Aug. 28 at 5 p.m. There is no registration required, and any vessel may join. All are welcome. Those not sailing can view the parade from the shoreline or the Town Wharf.

The starting area will be at the Mattapoisett Yacht Club, mark “H” in front of Ned’s Point. They instruct that sailors monitor Channel 71 for instructions. 

The invitation also promotes two GoFundMe pages, one for Phil Macomber, who was injured in the fire, and another for the Mattapoisett Boatyard.
