If history wets your whistle, the fleet of restored Army
Workboats (AWB) with some 300 plus built during the
Second World War will be a sight to see. Then there
is the Ena which is a masterpiece with a long history
and now being pampered at the ANMM. Plus, of
course, the more the merrier as we would love you to
bring your launch or yacht around to make a weekend
of it with likeminded people who love vintage and
classic boats and the infectious enthusiasm towards
restored boats from yesteryear and masterpieces by
those who love to build boats from wood. Expressions

Planning is well under way for a Quick-N-Dirty Boat
Building Competition. Are you a whizz at designing
and building weird and wonderful boats? Or have you
always wanted to build a boat in two and a half hours?
Then, the festival wants you and your mates to spare
some time on the Saturday to hatch a master plan.
