Come join AWBF as we head over to New Zealand for the second biennial Auckland Wooden Boat Festival held along Auckland's vibrant waterfront from 13-15 March 2026.

Founded in 2024 by Tony Stevenson and Michelle Khan-Stevenson of the Tino Rawa Trust the three-day festival celebrates the craftsmanship, heritage and community spirit of New Zealand's classic boats. New Zealand has the largest fleet of classic yachts still actively sailing in the world.
