About 70 classic wind and power-driven pleasure craft from all over the Pacific Northwest will take over the Inner Harbour this weekend.
If you’re looking for Romance, you might want to attend this weekend’s Victoria Classic Boat Festival in the Inner Harbour.
This is the 44th year for the classic boat gathering, hosted by the Maritime Museum of British Columbia. The event attracts vessels from both sides of the border, with up to 10,000 visitors expected to view the boats, moored by the public docks along Wharf and Government streets over the Labour Day long weekend.Anya Zanko, events and development manager with the Maritime Museum, says what sets Victoria’s festival apart is the sheer variety of classic vessels.
Take a moment during the festival to step aboard China Cloud, a 45-foot junk-rig sailing vessel built on the beach with a handsaw and axe by Allen and Sharie Farrell in 1982. The ship’s current owner, Eden Murray, is this year’s recipient of the Abernethy and Gaudin Boatbuilders Young Boaters Scholarship.
