Our Challenge
Our focus is on spreading that joy, reconnecting the community, inspiring new generations of boat enthusiasts, and ensuring the Festival remains sustainable. As a not-for-profit, we receive some funding from government grants — for which we are incredibly grateful — but this doesn't cover all our needs. It's only with the help of people like you that we can grow and survive.
