Every two years, this marvellous festival in Hobart, Tasmania in early February attracted 200,000 visitors, 585 boats, a Parade of Sail, sailing and rowing races, countless interesting boats. It added in maritime crafts and talks, art and music, food and drink, but the boats were the stars of the show, and the festive atmosphere.
