The AMATEUR BOAT BUILDERS ASSOCIATION of WESTERN AUSTRALIA (ABBA) is a group of
home boat builders building in timber, aluminium, fibreglass and other materials. About half the members
currently have projects under way, ranging from dinghies to ocean going yachts and historic rebuilds. Others
have either completed boats, are restoring classics or just have an interest in things nautical.
ABBA was incorporated in 1972 so this year we celebrate our 50th Birthday as an association.
Meetings We meet on the FIRST WEDNESDAY of every EVEN month
(Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct & Dec) at the South of Perth Yacht Club, 7.00 pm for a 7.30 pm start.
These meeting usually involve a guest speaker on a relevant topic with time to socialise and network with others.
Toolbox are visits to members' projects, practical demonstrations at
commercial premises or other events of interest take place at the beginning of every ODD month, usually
on a Saturday afternoon.
Web Site This website is continually updated with details of upcoming events
and other information. Have a look at the JOURNALS section to see the wide range of informative topics
that have been covered, the varied and interesting places we have visited and the diverse range of projects
undertaken by our members.
Interested? ABBA welcomes new members hopefully we can all share advice, techniques,
experiences and other information. To join us, just come along to a meeting or contact 0419 508 785 or cadeefamily@bigpond.com
