2021 Festival Not Proceeding
August 14, 2020
In the May newsletter we introduced readers to My First Boat, a 2021 Festival project where adult / child teams build a small child-sized boat at home and bring it to the Festival for decorating and first launch.
We hope to get at least a dozen teams to register and build these boats over the September school holidays, in plenty of time for the Festival.

Here are some images of their progress below. Photos by Jemma Killingback.
And to think this is where they started – a couple sheets of CNC cut plywood from Denman Marine.
