years old to those barely begun.

steam, diesel, oars or paddles.

to large boats on permanent moorings.

Both new constructions and
restorations.

Our members variously enjoy
designing, building, sailing, messing about in and talking about
wooden boats.
We welcome
all current and potential wooden boat enthusiasts to our
association. Our subscription is inexpensive, our activities are
varied and interesting, and our
culture is open, friendly and inclusive.
The main aims of the WBAQ are:

in all matters relating to the history, development and future,
and the building, restoration and preservation of wooden boats in
Queensland;
