Note to potential visitors: this isn’t a dress-up event, so it will be frowned upon if you rock up wearing an eyepatch and with a parrot perched on your shoulder.
The Australian National Maritime Museum has announced it will host the Classic And Wooden Boat Festival this year, providing those interested with an incredible opportunity to see over 100 beautiful boats up close.
Better still, the festival will also include a series of talks, focusing on historical vessels and featuring a lecture from internationally renowned sailing extraordinaire Lin Pardey.
There’ll be live music too, with established reggae and roots artist Declan Kelly and The Rising Sun headlining the event, supported by Stu Tyrrell and Bill Hunt. Landlubbers need not apply: this one’s especially for for sea-faring folk.
The Classic And Wooden Boat Festival runs from Friday April 15 through till Sunday April 17 at the Australian National Maritime Museum. More information is available from the website, here.
