The Wooden Boat Association of Queensland is open to all owners, builders, restorers and lovers of boats made of wood (not surprisingly). The Association meets at 7:30 pm, the second Tuesday of each month, except January, at the Queensland Maritime Museum.  As well as general show and tell and a boasting/confessing session, a guest speaker or practical session is arranged for most meetings to talk or demonstrate topics related to wooden boats and boating. Meetings are preceded by a BBQ meal. 

Members range from inexperienced amateurs to professional boat builders who have been practicing the art since the 1930's and who are pleased to share their skills. The Association also runs a boatshed at the Queensland Maritime Museum, documenting and restoring various historic Queensland Maritime Museum boats and running wooden boat building and repair workshops.

Members enthusiastically support wooden boat shows, festivals and Classic Boat Regattas in and around Brisbane to showcase member's and Museum boats.
