The 47th annual Victoria Classic Boat Festival was scheduled to take place in Victoria’s Inner Harbour over the Labour Day weekend, featuring up to 100 heritage vessels. Anticipation for the event included the public debut of a 19th-century, 16-foot Royal Navy skiff-gig, which was preserved through community stewardship. Following the event, which ran from September 4 to 6, 2026, it was reported that the festival hosted more than 50 historic and unique vessels. Highlights included the 130-year-old Dorothy Skiff and the Rainbow Row skiff-gig, described as potentially the only Royal Navy skiff-gig in existence. The festival, hosted by the Maritime Museum of BC, allowed the public to tour vessels and interact with owners to celebrate British Columbia’s maritime heritage. Specific vessels noted during the showcase included the Faranda, a 40-foot pleasure boat built in 1937 that underwent a full renovation by owner Dave Craig, as well as the Dorothy skiff, a cedar and fir vessel built by JJ Robinson.
