Boats of all kinds Many of our members have boats, from small canoes and punts to large yachts and working boats. But you don't have to own a boat to be a member — the Guild owns boats which members can use!
Messing around with boats Building new wooden boats, restoring old ones. Learning new techniques and practicing old ones. Or just using wooden boats. It's all part of the joy of it.
People with common interests Meetings with guest speakers; days on the water; information and assistance. We have social activities and hands-on projects. And we're friends...
The Wooden Boat Guild of Tasmania Incorporated was formed in 1994 by a group wishing to keep and support wooden boat heritage and craft in Tasmania. Members of the Wooden Boat Guild of Tasmania see their role as being one of nurturing and educating in the art of wooden boat building and restoration. Tasmania is home to one of the world's finest boat building timbers, Huon Pine, so it's not surprising that it is also home to some of Australia's finest wooden boats. As well as being the destination for one of the world's premier off-shore yacht races, Hobart is also host to Australia's premier wooden boat festival.
