Festival dates: 2-3 November 2024
Enter your boat and share your passion for classic timber boats, at the only dedicated event for timber boats held annually in Sydney. Located on the beautiful Pittwater at the award winning RMYC marina, the festival aims to provide timber boat owners an enjoyable weekend of social activities and opportunities to talk and share about all things involved with timber boats with other timber boat owners and enthusiasts.
The festival’s aim, other than the celebration of the beauty and craftsmanship of timber boats, is to raise money for the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation and Marine Rescue, two critical organisations that support the health and safety of the boating community. We are proud to have the support once again from the National Maritime Museum who will be displaying Duyfken and potentially one other as part of the festival.
The weekend includes opportunities for the boat owners to meet and share experiences, starting with Friday nights welcome drinks in the Marina, festival dinner on the Saturday night, and a closing casual BBQ on the Sunday evening. There are prizes including Best in show judged by members of the Wooden Boat Association of NSW and our RMYC Commodore, People’s Choice Award judged by the general public and some fundraising prizes (Coldest Fridge) where the chances of winning can be enhanced through size of the gratuities found.
If you would like to enter your boat into the festival, please download and complete the entry form HERE.
