Australian Wooden Boat Festival

Hobart is home to the Australian Wooden Boat Festival, a spectacular four-day celebration of maritime culture and craftsmanship. In 2009, over 500 boats of all shapes and sizes will congregate on the city’s historic waterfront. This amazing scene of colour and activity provides the perfect setting for an extensive program of dockside entertainment, music, demonstrations, and displays. Opening with the wonderful Parade of Sail on Friday, there is action aplenty on the water throughout the weekend including wooden surf boat racing, a classic 18-foot skiff challenge, and the ever-popular “Quick ‘n’ Dirty” kids boat building and race.
Come and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of this unique event which offers more than just a taste of Tasmania’s best food and beverages.
The biggest maritime event of its kind in the southern hemisphere, the Australian Wooden Boat Festival brings together the best of Australia in the heart of Tasmania.
