About the Wooden Boat Guild of Tasmania Inc.

Why the Wooden Boat Guild of Tasmania?

Given that Tasmania is home to one of the world's finest boat building timbers, Huon Pine, 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 show.

The keepers of wooden boat heritage and craft in Tasmania are the Wooden Boat Guild of Tasmania who see their role as being one of nurturing and educating in the art of wooden boat building and restoration.

 
Membership, meetings, etc

The Guild meets on the third Monday of each month at the Mariners Cottage, 42 Napoleon St. (on the river side of the park near the slips), at 19:30 hrs. New members are always welcome.

Members keep in touch through the journal "The Rudder" and the monthly News Letter "The Skeg" and regular rowing and other boating rendezvous.
