Wooden Boat Centre

This engaging, sea-centric spot is a unique institution running accredited courses in traditional boat building (from one week to build a kayak, up to eight weeks for a dinghy), using Tasmanian timbers. A volunteer guide will walk you through the centre, where you can watch boats being cobbled together and catch a glorious whiff of Huon pine.
