Wilson's Boat Yard
Head back to one of the most important historical wooden boat building sites in Tasmania, even Australia. Wilson's Boatyard uses traditional and modern boatbuilding skills to design and maintain wonderful wooden boats. Since 1863, thousands of boats have come and gone through the doors, including AWBF favourites Island Star and Maori Lass. Neilma G was recently launched and Carefree is currently being given a Birthday here. John Alexander and team welcome you, and Jay Lawry once again will share his 40+ years of boatbuilding experience with you. Come with us, on a historical journey through Wilson's Boatyard.
