About the event
This is a biennial event and is always a well attended and popular weekend. On land or on water, there are so many opportunities to see these magnificent boats up close and in action over the weekend. On Saturday, the Grande Parade features all boats available on water as they sail past the crowds and through McMillan Strait into the open waters of Lake Victoria. Plans are underway for many feature events to be held all weekend as well as cruises on a tall ship. Take your own boat out at your leisure for a trip on the Gippsland Lakes and return to share stories with other boat lovers.
