West Falmouth Library

Lifelong sailor Bill Womack visits the library with a fascinating look into the history of the Beetle Cat sailboat on Wednesday, July 22 at 5 p.m. Free and open to all.&nbsp;
This program is brought to you in partnership with the <a href="https://www.chapoquoityachtclub.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Chapoquoit Yacht Club</a>.
Join the owner of Beetle, Inc. at the library for this unique opportunity to dive into the history of the Beetle Cat, from the Beetle Whaleboats in the 1800s in New Bedford to the boat’s present-day construction at the Beetle Cat Boat Shop in Wareham, MA.
Growing up sailing Beetle Cats in the 1950s out on Onset Harbor, and a life-long love of traditional wooden sailing craft, made the opportunity to own and work with these timeless, classic boats perfect for Bill Womack. In addition to childhood experiences and personal interests, Bill also served in the United States Navy with Seabee Team 1110/1114 in South Vietnam from 1966 to 1970. A degree in Civil Engineering and over 40 years working in heavy highway construction as a Professional Engineer and Operations Manager, helped to prepare him for the important task of preserving the art of traditional plank-on-frame wood boat construction at the Beetle Boat Shop.
