News from the Wooden Boat Festival

The AWBF have just sent out their February 2026 newsletter, and you can read it >>here<<. All sorts of stories including an item about the New Norfolk Regatta, complete with historic photo.

It reminded us that once the Shipwrights Point Regatta was just as big, with the steam ferries lining up to let off the passengers from Hobart.
