The Lake Brunner Classic Boat Get Together has been designed for like-minded boaties to enjoy more time on the water, each other’s company and of course some boating banter! All generations are welcome – they encourage the sharing of boating knowledge and skills.
“There’s really nothing quite like mucking around in boats!” Powered boats from many eras attend, ranging from the 1920’s through to the 70’s retros and 1980’s crafts. Just get out there and ‘run what you’ve got’, whether it be an original or a restored classic, a new replica or a maintained, runnable retro.
