Today was the annual Wooden Boat Rally in Launceston. Its a great fun event, with some lovingly restored old, and newly built replica wooden boats. The event is not the large scale extravagansa that is run every two years in the capital city (Hobart), but is a low budget event, put on by a small group of enthusiasts.
Some say the atmosphere is better, maybe having free entry helps...
A rare collection of old outboards, including an old Coventry example....
Always a favourite is the steam launch S.L. Huon, constructed of a rare (these days), slow growing timber, Huon pine. She is absolutely stunning.....
A group of replica Chris Crafts' is another big attraction
I was onboard during a 'drag race', which was a lot of fun and noise...
