Priscilla II 392 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Wonderful celebration of NZ wooden boat history on display so get off the couch and get down to the Viaduct. Sadly nothing Maori or Polynesian of any substance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Terrific. Well worth a look a rare opportunity to see the only existing Maori mainsail sail complete with soft shackles. https://www.aucklandmuseum.com/visit/exhibitions/te-ra Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sudden5869 17 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 The Wooden Boat Festival was fantastic. Hopefully, the level of interest warrants it becoming an annual or bi annual event. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't been to a boat show for years as they are just a massive yawn with Powerboats predominating and maybe a few production yachts. I only missed this Wooden boat show as I was sailing but I hope there is another ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
