Muir partners with Australian Wooden Boat Fest 2027

Muir Anchoring Systems joins as Program Partner of the Shipwrights Village in 2027.

It’s a fitting partnership for a Tasmanian company whose story began on the Battery Point waterfront and continues today through marine design, manufacturing and craftsmanship. We’re looking forward to welcoming the Muir team to the festival and sharing more of their story with visitors in February.

Muir Anchoring Systems joins as Program Partner of the Shipwrights Village in 2027.

It’s a fitting partnership for a Tasmanian company whose story began on the Battery Point waterfront and continues today through marine design, manufacturing and craftsmanship. As the festival team put it: “We’re looking forward to welcoming the Muir team to the festival and sharing more of their story with visitors in February.”

For us, the Shipwrights Village is a natural home. Muir was founded in Battery Point in 1968, a short walk from where the festival fills Hobart’s waterfront every second summer. The skills on show in the Village include planning a build, shaping timber and getting the fit right first time. Those same skills still sit behind every Muir windlass and winch we machine and assemble in Kingston today.

Over the festival, visitors will be able to meet the team, see Muir gear up close and hear how a small Hobart workshop grew into a maker of anchoring systems for vessels from 5 m runabouts to 150 m superyachts. You’ll also find us in the Maritime Marketplace at stand PW1 if you have a question about your own windlass or anchoring setup.

We’ll share more on what’s planned in the Village closer to February. In the meantime, we’d like to thank the Australian Wooden Boat Festival for the opportunity to be part of one of the great maritime gatherings, right where our story started.

Since 1968. Built to last.
