38th Annual Victoria Classic Boat Festival: Sept 4th-6th 2015
The Pacific Northwest on both sides of the border is blessed with an enormous number of traditional boats of all descriptions. The wonderful craft – both yachts and workboats – are cared for by their owners and a supportive community of boatyards, trades people, and admirers.
They are also fortunate to have some amazing maritime non-profit organizations throughout the region, including the Maritime Museum of BC, Port Townsend Wooden Boat Foundation, SALTS, Seattle Centre for Wooden Boats, Cowichan Bay Maritime Centre, Victoria Tall Ships Society, Silva Bay Shipyard School and the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding to name a few. These dedicated organizations provide opportunities for education, training, skills development and economic growth in their communities.
The boat owners and those that support them are why classic boaters are still celebrating their maritime heritage after 38 years. Enjoy this year’s Victoria Classic Boat Festival from September 4th – 6th, 2015 in Victoria’s beautiful Inner Harbour.
