These pictures were taken on Saturday 23rd April at the 2011 Lake Macquarie Boatfest held at Toronto over the Easter holiday weekend. The day was perfect with some storm clouds on the horizon, however it remained fine. Thousands of boat-lovers enjoyed a fantastic day which continuued on Sunday. Dozens of boats of every shape and size constructed from traditional and new-age materials, were on display or for sale.
The wooden boats were superb, the craftsmanship absolutely stunning!
