Wooden boat festival

[OrcaBoats]

The Vancouver wooden boat festival is back for 2021 after a year in which we all want to just move on from. If you built or restored your own small boat (canoe, kayak, row/sail boat), then sign up for our I built it myself section. Or you can list your boat on our virtual web listing for larger boats as we can not have large boats at the dock since we do not yet know if all restrictions will be lifted and we could not control attendance.

Registration is now open. Vancouver Wooden Boat Society.

Be sure to note here when the border will be open to the USA.

Hopefully soon. Would love to head south to Port Townsend again this year for the festival.

Due to budget shortfalls in funding and lack or registration to date, the 2021 Vancouver Wooden Boat festival has been cancelled.

Such a shame Rod, after all the work on that festival that you do . . .

hey, tell them instead that you'll put on a nice compact 'OrcaBoat wooden boat festival' on some or one of the plazas. It might be nice to see a small wooden boat contingent alternatively to some of the other displays for one weekend.

The society is still organizing a First Nation boat display and carving demo for the full week of August 23- 29. It is sponsored by Granville island and CMHC and will take place in the Ocean Artworks carving area.
