Australian Wooden Boat Festival

I love boats, and especially wooden boats (hence wanting to build a boat). I’m an ex-cabinet-maker (if you can ever say you’re an ex anything … it’s not like I don’t use the skills still. Maybe I should say freelance or something!!!) and seeing the time and skill that goes into wooden boats fascinates and amazes me. I especially love the tallships. I’d love to build wooden, but I don’t think it’s practical for what I want. I can still appreciate them though!

I was this close to going to the 2007 Australian Wooden Boat Festival, but money and personal rel’ship issues got the better of me. Now, I’m making it my personal aim to be there in 2009 (it’s a biennial event).

Hobart, prepare for my coming …
