The Association
The Lake Rotoiti Classic & Wooden Boat Association (LRCWBA) is a community organisation which exists to recognise and foster classic and wooden boats and enhance facilities on Lake Rotoiti, North Island.

Membership is only $10 per family per annum. You do not need a classic or wooden boat to join so sign up today.
Our Generous Sponsors
Our Association relies entirely on membership & event fees and voluntary labor - but also the generous support of a number of local sponsors who we would like to thank warmly. We have listed and linked to them here.
Events
The LRCWBA hosts a number of annual events on Lake Rotoiti in the Bay of Plenty, North Island, New Zealand including the annual Wooden Boat Parade, Drift through the Ohau Channel, Dinghies & Family Fun, Lake Circumnavigation & Poker Run, Long Lazy Lunch, Light Parade, AGM & Mid-Winter Dinner, Fishing Fun and Spring BBQ Breakfast, Hot Swim & Cruise.
Register of Boats
See our amazing catalogue of former parade entrants: register of classic boats. The registry is broken into 8 categories. You can also use the search magnifying glass to find a boat or your boat. If your boat is missing pictures or a text description please email our webmaster with the missing content. You can use your boat's page to build a profile, promote or sell your boat.
