The 38th annual Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance will be Father’s Day — June 18-20 — at the Sierra Boat Company in Carnelian Bay on Lake Tahoe’s North Shore.

“We changed the date from August to June last year for the first time, allowing our event participants a full summer’s use of their cherished woodies, and providing attendees with a fun Father’s Day weekend activity,” Dave Olson, chairman of the 2010 Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance and president of the Tahoe Yacht Club Foundation, said in a press release. The Concours offers a unique opportunity for an up-close look at more than 85 antique and classic boats, with great food, live music and exhilarating wooden boat rides all part of the show experience.

In addition to the dozens of restored wooden boats from all makes, models, and years, the Marque Class for 2010 will be “Classic Glass” (up to 1964), and will consist of two subclasses: “Transitional Fiberglass,” to include boats manufactured with wood hulls and fiberglass accessories such as fins, hard tops, or decking, and “Full Fiberglass,” boats manufactured primarily out of fiberglass. Come feast your eyes on early models from Chris-Craft, Century, Arenacraft, AristoCraft and Correct Craft, featuring gleaming afterdecks, ‘vertical’ tails and swooping rear fins constructed of fiberglass.

Proceeds go to educational and charitable opportunities that enhance the expertise or understanding of maritime skills in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

Event details and tickets are at (530) 581.4700.

Now through May 15, discounted ticket prices are $25 for one day, or $30 for a two-day pass, with kids under 12 admitted free.
