A
pril 2018 will see many important events
fighting for prominence on your calendar and
The Sydney Classic & Wooden Boat Festival
(CWBF) should be underlined and in bold! The
festival of the boatie year is returning to the Australian
National Maritime Museum (ANMM) from Friday, to
Sunday, April 13-15, 2018. The atmosphere will be
colourful from the marina in Cockle Bay full of boats
to model boats scooting around in the basin. Boats
on trailers will be placed from the Pyrmont Bridge,
sprawling all the way along both sides of the museum
precinct down to wharf 7. The water, footpath and air
will be alive with the hubbub of boatie’s scuttlebutt
and pride.
The organising committee’s goals for 2018 include,
having over 150 vessels, great and small, afloat and
ashore for your viewing pleasure, to have many a
demonstration to view, harbour cruises, children’s
activities and plenty of opportunities for young and
not-so-young to be involved! With over 15, 000
visitors in 2016 the organiser’s ‘ashore’ you, 2018 will
be a festival not to be missed.by Dave giDDings
