    40th Traditional Boat Festival breaking new records for July 20th/22st 2018

    A SURVIVOR from the Great War and a colourful but unhurried Royal spectacle will be shown their paces when they line up with a World beater at Henley-on-Thames’ Traditional Boat Festival in July.

    Traditional boat festival

    The late Sir Malcom Campbell’s Bluebird K3 hydroplane powerboat built in 1937 to win back the World Water Speed record from America, may not be breaking records at the three-day Festival on July 20-22.

    Bluebird

    Returning from Lake Maggiore on the Italian-Swiss border early in July, Bluebird will be moving at a much slower pace on the Thames as she is taken along the full Royal Regatta Course by owner Karl Foulkes Halbard.

    Three times Bluebird broke the world water speed record piloted by Campbell who between 1924 and 1935 had broken the world land speed record nine times.

    “She will provide an historic photo-opportunity alongside the colourful spectacle of the Royal row-barge Gloriana – at 92 feet the longest ever built,” said Festival co-chairman Lady Judy McAlpine. “We will also be welcoming one of only a few World War I Royal Navy vessels still afloat.”

    Coastal Forces Motor Boat No 9 is thought to be the only surviving WWI torpedo boat – and she will line up with the Heroes of Dunkirk, the fleet of “Little Ships” that sailed across the English Channel to help with the evacuation of Dunkirk during world War II.

    Other special attractions include a Victorian passenger steamer – Alaska, the oldest still in regular service – and there will be the annual illuminated parade when traditional boats illuminated with thousands of lights sail into Henley on Saturday night.

    From Friday midday until Sunday evening the popular Trad Boat Festival will take place at Fawley Meadows, opposite the Regatta Enclosures.

    Trad boat festivalEstablished in 1978 to encourage the restoration, maintenance and use of traditionally built craft, the Festival has Olympic medallist Sir Steve Redgrave as Patron. He said: “The Festival is growing in popularity every year, incorporating the traditional values of many trades and crafts as well as providing a fun weekend for all the family.”

    The Festival starts on Friday 20th July continuing on Saturday and Sunday with packed timetables on all three days. The Gloriana and Dunkirk Little Ships sail-past take place on all three days and,  assuming her safe return from Switzerland, Bluebird K3 will be demonstrated on the Saturday and Sunday afternoons of the Festival.

    Tickets available from www.tradboatfestival.com
