North Island’s Parade of Classic & Wooden Boats – Sat 8th Feb
When an invite to a classic boating event is accompanied with the above photo it would be rude to say no.
So waitematawoodys will heading off to Lake Rotoiti for the 2014 Classic and Wooden Boat Parade. Now this is the North Island event so its just a three hour drive from Auckland.
I have ‘followed’ the event on line for the past 5 > 6 years & its a cracker.
This year is the 17th year it has run & the formula is simple: A parade (on-the-water) to showcase the boats then everyone motors / steams off to a sheltered bay on the lake to enjoy old boats and fine company.

Boating has been used since a long time even our ancestors used wooden boats for traveling and hunting. The difference in those days and today’s boating is immensely high. The purpose of using a boat today is merely for enjoyment and recreation. Hence the older boat models have lost their identity among the younger generation! And to make this new generation aware of these wonderful boats this parade will be very helpful! Wooden Boat USA at http://goo.gl/FdYWq also deals with such amazing boat models with long lasting lives!
