wooden boat centre印象

A wonderful insight into the history and importance of boating on the Huon River. It is a recommended stop for everyone, not only for boating enthusiasts.

A great opportunity to be able to see up lose the time, effort and craftmanship that goes into building a wooden boat. I have built fibreglass boats so it was a privilege to see this very "old School" approach being taught and passed on. If I had the time I would certainly enroll for one of the courses. It is well worth taking the tour and seeing this up close. There are also some interesting vessels moored at the neighbouring jetty.

The displays are interesting and the tour through the workshop is very informative with information on various techniques, woods and fixings.

My husband a keen sailor loved this place. He loved the tour we did around the wooden boat building school. Informative tour with lovely exhibits of wooden boats being built on site.

I took my husband to the boat centre recently as he is a small boat sailor from way back. This is actually a boat building school as well and students build a timber boat from scratch. Our guide took us through and spent a lot of time with us answering all our questions and we got to get up close to all the boats. I was very impressed as well even though boats are not my thing, and it was great to see a tradition being continued.

The centre runs short tours, on an unscheduled basis, through the workshop for $9 per person. The guides provide information on timber species, hull design, manufacturing methods etc. The commentary is pitched between the casual interest of a non boat person up to the novice who knows a little of the basics. For those with more in depth questions there is usually a qualified shipwright on hand who is happy to explain the details. There are some spectacular examples of very fine craftsmanship in timber. About 1 hour is probably enough to set aside for the centre.

I feel quite privileged to have happened upon this place - an attraction for sure, in that this is one of a handful of places in the world offering this level of tuition, that's right - its a school & a workshop, and as such should be approached with due respect.For the price of a sandwich one gets a tour of the workshop and an understanding of the technology . As an amateur boatbuilder its fascinating as a father its a worthy example of that 'working of an art' for the sake of custom.Peter B

Franklin is a pretty area but we discovered the Wooden Boat Centre by talking to locals. Well worth a stop to see how wooden modern day sail boats are made by hand - you can even enrol in a course. Very interesting

we dropped in on our way to see Hastings caves after another tour we were on recommending we drop in we were pleasantly greeted by a lovely lady at the desk and led into the visitors centre to look around the display before they showed us around inside the workshop we were then greeted by one of the volunteers (Grahame) he was a charming older man with a wealth of knowledge and passion for the old craft of making timber (wooden) boats he showed us around in great detail of each step of the tour was of great interest even my wife found it very interesting enough we will return one day to see the old steamer at the docks returned to its former glory of having its original Steam engine refitted
