In January, the Auckland Wooden Boat Festival Selection Committee will meet to start the selection process for the limited number of spaces available on-land and on-shore. This committee includes experienced members of the wooden boat community: Nathan Herbert, David Glen, Larry Paul, Russell Brooke, Ron Copeland, and event directors Michelle Khan-Stevenson and Tony Stevenson. The committee takes into account the history of the vessel, how keen the owners are to share their stories and welcome people onboard, and curates the selection to ensure as wide a variety are on display as possible. Its a major reason behind why the 2024 festival received a 99% satisfaction rating from attendees and this glowing review from Mark Chew and Southern Wooden Boat Sailing! All boat owners will be contacted towards the middle of January. Expressions of Interest are open now
