Noisy Boatyard Short Courses

Short Courses at the 2021 Festival

An exciting new program of short Boating Associated Courses is to be introduced during next year’s Australian Wooden Boat Festival. 

The Wooden Boat Centre in Franklin has an exciting program of short courses ranging from one day to six days.  

Just imagine after six days, you have constructed your 14 foot rowing kayak, and you are ready to load it on your roof rack ready for the water’s adventure, wow.  What about a five day course of oar or paddle making, your own oars or paddle hand crafted by you, with expert tuition? 

May be of interest is a one day course of Fancy Nautical Rope Work, a Canvas Wooden base and ropes bailing bucket, or a one day Boat Lofting course and demonstration. 

It’s all possible thanks to the partnership with the training skills of The Wooden Boat Centre and the Australian Wooden Boat Festival. 

The Boat Festival is also pleased to partner with the Macquarie Point Corporation. We’ll be using the Goods Shed facility on site to conduct the courses during the Festival period.
