Thread: Who's coming to the Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart????

YEP, a group of us are going.

Not taking any boats, as it is too expensive.

Look forward to meeting new people as we usually do.

Paul.

I'll be there.

I won't have a boat but a friend who lives in Hobart will.

I'll be there from the 5th to the 11th.

I'm not a boatie but I've been to the wooden boat centre at Franklin a number of times, I'm looking forward to it. Staying with a friend who works at/with the living boat trust so expect to have quite a few day trips lined up.

I've never been so I don't know a good meeting place.

I'll have a WWF cap on & I'll wear my WWF shirt a couple of days but I doubt it will last 4 days.

At the T&WWW shows there are usually agreed meeting places & times that are pre-arranged, anybody got any ideas?

I can PM my mobile number to anybody interested.

I'll be going over to have a look and am looking forward to it. I am a new forum member in the process of deciding which small boat to build.

.

If you do wear your WWF shirt for 4 days, we should have no trouble finding you after, say, day 3

I might be snowing again too & I might be wearing a jumper over it.

I'll be there til Sunday off and on. No boat, unfortunately. Maybe next festival or the one after that. Rick

So who's back from the Wooden Boat Festival?

I'm not a boatie but I was fascinated by it all.
I went along to all 4 days and managed to find something new every day. There were many exhibits worth a second (or third, or fourth) look.

I took about 500 photos over the 4 days so SOME of them must have turned out OK. I'll post a few of the more successful ones that may be of interest for the woodworking content.

I was lucky enough to be in Hobart when the festival was on.

A lot of boats!!!

Lots of lovely boats actually.

I had a good chat with a few of the plan suppliers and the cooper making barrels.

Very enjoyable.

I'm back, went on 3 days, saw a few blokes from the Cairns WBC but I didn't find any forum members.

I have several photos to post but I have a stck of work piled up so I'm just a bit busy at present.

I went, I saw, I did... what a great show. i think there was something like 550 boats. a great display.

if you look at the photo's that scally has put in his post (above) you might recognise my signiture picture. i was running the Boatcraft exibition where this one was being built and now i'm at the same level with my own of these boats

I missed it by a day but did get to go to the boat building school in Franklin, that was cool, I spent a couple of hours there.
