Welcome to our 38th Festival
No ships in bottles
Working Boats, Not Museum Exhibits It is my pleasure to find myself in the role of chief evangelist for the Port Townsend Wooden Boat festival. For all the work, planning, late nights and logistics that go into this weekend, it is truly my favorite three days of the year. There are the people that are like family, the boats, the bands, the presentations. Like choosing between children, there’s no favorite part for me, but the entirety resonates with a certain kind of magic that is uniquely West Coast and entirely Port Townsend. I recently visited Mystic, Connecticut and the Maine Windjammer Fleet – hallowed ground for maritime heritage junkies like me. Their museums and their festival gather incredible boats and artifacts, and attract an adoring public who gather to bask in the glory of long-held traditions. Our Festival is neither a lesser or greater tradition, but I think it’s a hell of a lot more fun. The entire town of Port Townsend comes to life in this maritime celebration and there is a vibrancy that stems not only from our tradition, but also our culture reinvention. Boats here are still in active service, getting ready to go, or newly returned, from an ocean crossing. If you walk down to the boatyard, no doubt you’ll find someone hauling out a wooden fishing vessel just returning from another successful season in Alaska. These aren’t museum exhibits; these are just great boats! Our Festival isn’t for ships in a bottle, but for artistry that
continues to get used and enjoyed. We have boats large and small: perfect examples of craftsmanship, earnest first a t t e m p t s , Jake Beattie and everything in between. Port Townsend has an incredible concentration of world-class talent, and for one weekend a year the greater community completely embraces our maritime culture. For one weekend a year the sawdust-covered heroes from the boatyard mix with the sunburnt voyagers and the admiring public to celebrate, truly celebrate, our own nautical traditions – and we do it in our own way. This isn’t a festival that golf-claps in appreciation, we say thanks by dancing until the band stops at midnight. Our Festival is a chance to connect, learn, dance, reflect on craftsmanship, daydream about the maritime lives we could lead, get re-inspired about our own nautical bucket list, and reengage with the craftsmen and vessels that are now our standards for excellence and what should be. Thanks for being a part of the West Coast wooden boat celebration. Enjoy!

Come aboard!
Festival Directors, Volunteers are Ready We’re delighted to welcome you as the 38th annual Wooden Boat Festival gets underway! This Festival marks our third as directors. Our first two Festivals were pulled off in no small part thanks to a cadre of patient staff, terrific volunteers and experienced volunteer captains who DID know what they were doing. The details that go into putting on this event are limitless, and planning for next year’s Festival pretty much starts Sunday night as the current Festival closes. This year we finally felt comfortable enough with the logistics to start adding in some new ideas. We’ve made some changes to the layout and rearranged some vendors. You’ll have an opportunity to spend more time with several of the Festival headliners in a special Thursday workshop. We’ve added music to the Balcony Wine Bar. We’re excited about the Pete Seeger sing-along Friday night at the Pope Marine Building, with the Adventuress bobbing gently just outside the window. We’ll be presenting adventure sea stories at PT Shorts Saturday night – a new collaboration with the Key City Public Theatre. You’ll find some delicious new food vendors, enjoy a unique presentation venue aboard the regal Virginia V, and find more opportunities than ever to get out on the water!

With the Festival closing in on four decades old, the most important part of our job is to continue to honor the Festival’s original spirit: the love of all things related to wooden boats. This isn’t a Festival that one “directs” so much as “shepherds”; the heart and soul is in the owners who share their boats, the presenters who share their skills, the volunteers who share their time, and the community who joins together each September to throw a fantastic party. Our job is simply fine-tuning the process each year. We invite you to enjoy this year’s fine-tuning and feel free to provide feedback. We welcome your suggestions for changes, additions – and things to keep sacred. Whether this is your first festival or your 38th, thank you for joining us, and have a great time!

On the Cover: Luke Works His Magic Jefferson County resident Luke J. Tornatzky is the Wooden Boat Festival poster cover artist for a second time: he did the art for the 24th festival, along with this 38th annual event. “Sometimes I think I have the perfect job,” he says. “When I am at my easel painting, at least on the day when it’s going well, I get lost to the rest of the world. Values, shapes, colors, edges take over and replace all the day-to-day hassles with something that I control. A vision begins to form out of the brush strokes. Shapes solidify and gather meaning. Light differentiated from shadow. A center of focus is established, brought to focus using contrast and edge manipulation. Secondary elements are added, not to compete, but to support. The painting develops using time-honored methods of oil painters. A lifetime of learning, practicing and seeing. “At this point the image is beginning to represent a place, with meaning and feeling. I am in the home stretch. I am not sure if I am telling the painting what I want it to be, or if it’s telling me. Get out of the way, or take charge? If everything sings in harmony, magic can happen. Seeking this magic is what keeps me going. I

can’t wait to see how it is going to end. “When it ends well, I know I have the best job in the world.”
Volunteer spotlight: Thanks to Joyce and John Joyce and John Mottola started volunteering at the Wooden Boat Festival in 1999, and have only missed four years since then, while they were off boating. Since 2007 they’ve planned their boat trips around the Festival and haven’t missed a year. They started out providing information at the Boatyard Gate and then went on to cashiering, greeting, running the Will Call desk, etc. From the beginning they have both worked all day, every Festival day to help cover unfilled shifts and provide continuity at the Main Gate. Asked why they volunteer year after year, John and Joyce say, “Because we’re nuts! Actually, we see this opportunity as a way to give back to the community without incurring a year-long obligation. We know what our commitment is and plan our schedule around it.” The Mottolas are a wealth of

Adventure Abounds for Kids Throughout the Festival!
Ahoy kids of all ages! Go for a longboat ride, sail a Thunderbird, build a boat, do oceanography on the dock! We’ve got crafts, treasure hunts, a carousel and more. Dance at the main stage, sing sea shanteys, and learn about creatures under the sea! Wooden Boat Festival is for kids – fun, education and inspiration surrounds the harbor full of wooden boats. Dreams are launched and a lifetime of opportunity is all around you! Just inside the Festival Main Gate is a world of fun for pirates and mermaids of all ages – Kids Cove – but there are fun activities for kids and families throughout the Festival grounds as well. Kids’ Cove
Boatbuilding. Kids of all ages can design, build, rig and sail away with their own small wooden boat. Pick a hull, a mast, some sailcloth… before you know it, life slows down while you help hold a nail and share the joy of building a boat. The kids boatbuilding area has been a favorite for years, and continues to be a family favorite. YMCA Activities. Jefferson County Family YMCA hosts kids crafts, with Face Painting, Sand Art, and more! Young and old will enjoy the expanded craft offerings. Carousel of the Sea.

Oceanography on the Dock The new Oceanography on the Dock program, led by Port Townsend Marine Science Center staff and volunteers, gives anyone with curiosity and enthusiasm the opportunity to be a scientist! It provides the opportunity to get familiar with basic principles of oceanography by teaching how to use actual testing equipment – measure parameters such as salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and more. The data collected during the program helps participants and scientists understand the health and characteristics of our local waters. Saturday, 10 am-2pm on the Maritime Center dock. 10 • 2014 WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL
16th annual North Star Stage A Festival highlight for years, this witty and charming play is directed by Port Townsend’s own Joey Pipia.

It’s a “don’t miss” for any age. Captain Pirate’s Treasure Hunt At High Noon on Sunday, young pirates from near and far make their way to the Jolly Roger flag at the Cupola House. Captain Pirate “aarghs” in with a longboat full of consorts, rowing and sailing through the harbor to land at center dock. Anyone dressed like a pirate can join the hunt, scouring the grounds and beaches for the “X” that marks the spot of buried treasure. Sunday, Noon to 1 pm.

2014 WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL • 11
Special Honors for Barcott, Daubenberger, Bishoprick The Lifetime Achievement Awards presentation is Thursday, Sept. 4 in the Maritime Meeting Rooms at the Northwest Maritime Center. Doors open at 5:30 pm and awards start at 6 pm. This Festival tradition is hosted by WoodenBoat Magazine and is open to the public.
The Wooden Boat Foundation Lifetime Achievement in Wooden Boat Community Spirit & Culture
Jim Daubenberger
In 1937, at the age of 13, Jim Daubenberger wanted to go sailing. He borrowed his dad’s pup tent to use as a sail, lashed a couple of poles together to fashion a rig, and rented a row boat on Discovery Bay, where he rowed upwind, set his rig and sailed downwind using an oar for a rudder. Many years later, in 1959, with a young family, his dream of sailing was rekindled: Jim (Many of us know him as Daubie) bought his first of many boats, an 18’ Seagull-class sloop. With no instruction, he began what became a lifelong passion. In 1962, in collaboration with his lifelong friend and sailing partner, Glenn Abraham, Jim started a sailing school for kids. For 25 years Jim and Glenn taught hundreds and inspired thousands.
The Wooden Boat Foundation & WoodenBoat Magazine Lifetime Achievement in Boatbuilding & Design
Stanley Bishoprick
Stanley Bishoprick was born March 23, 1937, in Portland, Ore. Vancouver was his home except for his toddler years in China and his college years at Oregon State University, where he earned bachelor’s degrees in forestry and business. He took graduate music studies at Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. There, in 1963, he met his wife, Nancy McCracken, while both were performing in Verdi’s Aida. Stan established Exterior Wood Inc. in 1977. With this success and his ever-ambitious drive and curiosity, he formed Windy Ridge Farm, a thoroughbred racehorse training and breeding facility.
Ed Barcott Being on the water is in Ed Barcott’s blood. Born into a fishing family in Anacortes, he was working on the water by age 11. He spent many memorable years in the 1940s and 1950s seining the waters of Puget Sound and Southeast Alaska. Later, the experiences of both World War II and Korea prompted Ed to attend Western Washington University. In 1958 he came to Port Townsend to teach at the state Department of Institutions Diagnostic & Treatment Center at Fort Worden. He also met and worked with Jim Daubenberger (Daubie) at his clothing store on Water Street. Daubie introduced Ed to sailing, and he was hooked. Ed sailed with and learned from Daubie for over a decade, then bought his own boat, a Pearson Renegade, which soon gave way to his current Pacemaker, a Cal 33, which Ed has skippered on innumerable races and cruises. Following in Daubie’s footsteps, he has and continues to enthusiastically share his knowledge and love for sailing with family, friends, crew and even competitors.
12 • 2014 WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL
In 1994 he founded a classic wooden boat building business, Legendary Yachts. Stan “retired” in 1996 to sail his 72’ ketch, Radiance, (sister-ship to Ticonderoga) the vessel that launched his yacht company. He took the family on a three-year ocean voyage spanning half the globe. Guided by Stan’s vision, Legendary Yachts built many breathtaking wooden sail and power boats. His passion for building these wonderful vessels was only outweighed by his love of being on the water aboard them. As a true Renaissance man, he was an enduring supporter of music and the arts, becoming the president of the board of the Portland Opera Association and also a member of the board for the Vancouver Children’s Opera. He was a cantor in several Jewish temples, past choir director at First Presbyterian Church, sang with Portland Opera, Bravo!, and Young Audiences in many musicals and plays in the Portland/Vancouver area over the years. Stan even donned costumes and performed alongside his granddaughters in several ballets, supporting their love of dance. One of his most recent ventures included raising registered Angus beef at his farm. Tragically, Stan died Oct. 25, 2013, at the far-tooyoung age of 76. Members of his boat crew said they could not believe Stan was gone. “We were just chasing cows with him yesterday.” Stan was larger than life and an inspiration to those who knew him, daring us all to think big and dream. He left a giant hole in many hearts and is sorely missed by so many. He was a caring and loving man with great faith and warm hospitality. Like the yacht company name, Stan was legendary.

Dorjun: There and Back Again
Surfboat Turned Adventure Boat, with Educational Rudder By Vince Welsh It was at the Explorers Club in New York that Amos Burg – National Geographic writer, lecturer, and photographer – hatched his ambitious plan to voyage the coastal waters of Chile and Argentina in the fall of 1933. His two-fold intention: to photograph the indigenous tribes of the area for the national magazine and to follow in the historical wake of the Beagle, the ship that had carried Charles Darwin through the Tierra del Fuego archipelago in 1834. Burg’s most important immediate task was to find a boat worthy of such a challenging voyage. Burg’s search led him to his home state of Oregon. In Coos Bay on the central Oregon coast, he purchased an aging 26-foot, self bailing Beebe-McClellan surfboat at auction for $40. Built in 1905 in Greenport, Rhode Island for the United States Lifesaving Service, the oar-propelled boat had served, and then outlived, its purpose. Burg had the boat shipped to Superior Boatbuilding Company on the Willamette River in Portland to be refitted. Modifications included decking, a step-mast, rowing hardware, modification of the hull for a removable keel, and the construction of an inboard motor well for a thirty-five pound, four horsepower Evinrude. By August 1933 the boat was finished. Burg named it Dorjun, after the two Fleis-

chmann children – Dorette and Junior – whose parents he had befriended on the roundthe-world voyage aboard the luxury yacht Camargo three years earlier. Burg and the Dorjun departed San Francisco aboard the freighter SS West Mahwah
This historic photo of Dorjun shows her with the companion dory, Cabo de Hornos . Photo courtesy of Wooden Boat Foundation 14 • 2014 WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL
Sept. 21, 1933 bound for Magallenas (present day Punta Arenas), Chile. Burg and apprentice seaman Roy Pepper spent the next several months voyaging through the archipelago as far as Cape Horn. In May 1934 the Dorjun (and Roy Pepper) were shipped back to Portland aboard the West Mahwah. (Burg’s account of the voyage would appear in the December 1937 issue of National Geographic). The summer and fall of 1936 saw Burg and Pepper aboard the Dorjun voyaging the Inside Passage from Seattle to Skagway. By now Burg was traveling the world on assignment for National Geographic and various educational film companies. After the Inside Passage voyage and throughout World War II the Dorjun remained moored at Gaults Harbor on the Colum-
bia River outside of Portland. Burg was overseas when the Memorial Day Flood of 1948 struck Vanport, a public housing project outside of Portland. The Dorjun was loosed from its anchorage at Gaults Harbor and swept onto a nearby mudflat where it lay abandoned for nearly two years. In 1950 Burg and his childhood friend Andrew Yunker retrieved the boat and hauled it to Yunker’s home in Oak Grove. In 1958 Burg sold the Dorjun to Yunker for one dollar. Much to the dismay of Yunker’s wife the Dorjun remained in their yard for decades while her husband, a dentist and armchair sailor, tinkered with it. In 1988 Yunker sold the Dorjun to his son-in-law, Bruce Garmin, for one dollar. Four years later Bruce and his wife Virginia brought
the Dorjun to Louchard’s Boat Shop in Port Townsend, Washington for restoration. On Sept. 13, 1992 the Dorjun was launched at the Wooden Boat Festival. Restored at the Northwest Maritime Center boat shop and relaunched in 2007, Dorjun continues to serve as an educational and training vessel for youth. At last report Bruce Garmin and friends are planning a commemorative voyage in the Dorjun to celebrate Burg’s 1936 voyage along the Inside Passage (Port Townsend to Juneau). The voyage is scheduled for May 2015. Stay tuned for more information.

Port to Port
Ludlow is Connected to Townsend By Patrick J. Sullivan Port Ludlow’s connection to Port Townsend is historic and modern, all at the same time. The timber trade tied the towns together starting in the late 1800s, with wooden boats the trade link. Today, the 38th Wooden Boat Festival is another landmark for Port Townsend, and Port Ludlow is involved. Trade is still at the heart of it, with Ludlow residents and Resort at Port Ludlow guests having a year-round connection to the city of Port Townsend Bay. For the second consecutive year, the Resort at Port Ludlow is sponsoring the Balcony Wine Bar at the Northwest Maritime Center. It may be the best vantage point at all to watch boats come and go, especially during the Sunday afternoon Sail By. “It is absolutely one of the most spectacular places to view what is going on,” noted Debbie Wardrop, general manager, Resort at Port Ludlow. Even better, the resort (owned by Port Ludlow Associates) has a year-round sponsorship with the Northwest Maritime Center. It includes money for big things (program) and little things (the Adirondack chairs at the Commons). “We are trying to do things that support the tradition of wooden boatbuilding, and to help people learn about the opportunities available with the Northwest Maritime Center and our local
The Resort at Port Ludlow includes a 300-slip marina, with transient moorage plus room for boaters to anchor-off and come to shore. During the Wooden Boat Festival weekend, a free shuttle bus transports people between Ludlow and Port Townsend. 2013 Leader photo by Patrick J.Sullivan, flight by Collin Klopfenstein
marine trades and boating community,” said Wardrop. The Resort at Port Ludlow includes a 37-room inn (with Fireside restaurant), and a 300slip marina on Port Ludlow Bay that is overlooked by an 18-hole championship quality golf course. There is a Village Center business district, and housing opportunities. Kayak rentals (singles and doubles) have been a mainstay at the marina; new this year are paddleboards.
The boating community may be as familiar with Port Ludlow as with Port Townsend. Almost any weekend of boating season, a yacht club visits Ludlow. Guests this year have included Poulsbo, Port Madison, South Whidbey, Corinthian of Edmonds, Everett, Tacoma, Mukilteo, and the Signature Yacht Small Fleet Rendezvous. “We have a rendezvous every weekend from the opening of boating season through Wooden Boat Festival,” Wardrop said.
FESTIVAL SHUTTLE In terms of the Wooden Boat Festival, which is one of the top three visitor draws all year on the Olympic Peninsula, accommodation reservations need to be made well in advance. “We always sell out. It’s a very popular weekend and we encour-
age people to make reservations in advance,” Wardrop said. By popular demand, this year the resort is sponsoring a free shuttle bringing people from Ludlow to PT, and hopefully, PT residents to Ludlow. It’s for resort guests, and open to people who – Continued on Page 17

want to get into PT on Festival weekend – first come, first served. The free shuttle operates Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon, Sept. 5-7, between Ludlow and the Wooden Boat Festival grounds. (See schedule on page 29). The intention is to depart Ludlow every two hours (even hours) with a 24-passenger stepon van (space for bicycles, but not wheelchairs or scooters). The main stop in Port Townsend is along Monroe Street just outside the Festival Main Gate (look for the sandwich board sign). Jefferson Transit no longer offers Sunday service, so that’s a gap the Ludlow shuttle helps to fill. “It’s a great new development, having the shuttle bus,” said Jake Beattie, Northwest Maritime Center executive director. “It’s especially nice for boaters who want to come to the Festival, but can’t find a spot in Port Townsend. They can dock in Port Ludlow and catch the free shuttle.” The shuttle accommodates the resort’s sold-out guest list, and also boaters who can moor or anchor-off in Ludlow, community members, and others who wants
to visit the Festival. “We have people who fly in from Kenmore Air who want to get to the Boat Festival.,” Wardrop said. People from town can also use the shuttle as a free ride for a day in Port Ludlow. “I would really love it if we could get Port Townsend people to go this direction, too,” Wardrop said. “People tell me that while they appreciate the Festival and may have even done their stint as volunteers, sometimes it’s OK to get away from the busiest weekend in town, and come to Port Ludlow to hang out and see what we have to offer here. There are opportunities to golf, stand-up paddle board or kayak in the bay, have a drink or a meal. There will be games on the (resort) lawn, and ample room to relax.” LUDLOW COVE COTTAGES Jennifer Lampe, PLA marketing director, noted that the master planned resort community is more about being a destination, and less about being a resort. “The connection to the water is one of the reasons people choose this as a destination both for visiting and for living,” Lampe said.
“Port Townsend is a big part of life here in Port Ludlow as well, and it’s important that we are connected.” A waterfront residential community is Ludlow’s newest thing. Ludlow Cove Cottages is the first new construction in Ludlow in a number of years. There are 42 single-family home cottages available in three styles: woodland, parkfront and waterfront homes along Anchor Lane. The floorplan choices range from those in the 1,800 square foot range (The Townsend and The Chimacum), to the 1,500sf range (The Quilcene) and at 1,480sf (The Bainbridge, The Kingston). Construction is underway on the first of three model homes. Prices start in the upper $300,000 range and rise to the $600,000 range for waterfront. Learn more at ludlowcovecottages.com. Port Ludlow has a lot in common with Port Townsend, especially the scenery, fresh food and a connection to the water. “This lifestyle is not available in too many places in the world,” Lampe said. “We are glad to share it with others in Jefferson County, and with our visitors and potential new residents.”
Wilder Auto Helps on Sea Providing an opportunity for youth to learn on the water is the keel of the Wooden Boat Foundation mission. Wilder Auto Center is one of the businesses that allows the annual youth sailing and rowing programs to happen. “Wilder has made it possible for a lot of kids to get on the water,” said Jake Beattie, Northwest Maritime Center executive director. “We’re able to grant 100 percent of all scholarship requests. If a kid wants to get on the water, cost is not a barrier for them.” Youth ages 6 to 18 from across the North Olympic Peninsula have been enrolled in a variety of summer camps, including sailing and boatbuilding. This is the second year that Wilder has been involved, although the company has assisted the NWMC in other ways, too. “We believe in educating our kids and investing in them, and the Northwest Maritime Center is an incredible place,” said Dan Wilder, Sr., head of the family business. “We are just really fortunate to have the Maritime Center here on the Olympic Peninsula.” Wilder Auto is a new and used car, truck, and SUV dealer based in Port Angeles, Washington, and serving Bremerton and the Olympic Peninsula. Dan Wilder has been in the automobile industry since 1966, and has owned a dealership in Port Angeles since 1977. Today, Wilder Auto Center and Wilder Toyota-Scion employ more than 100 people. There may be no more generous community business owner on the North Olympic Peninsula. Wilder has a proven track record of service to Peninsula College Board of Trustees and the Olympic Medical Center Foundation board. Health care, education, youth athletics, church and community service. “We want the people of Port Townsend and Jefferson County to know that we appreciate their business and we continue to invest in that community because our family believes that we invest in the people who invest in us.”

Festival Headliners Steve Callahan Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to hear Steve Callahan recount his survival story - 74 days adrift in a raft. He reveals the stages of survival, strategies that successful survivors use to solve problems, and how to transcend our traumas and crises to build a foundation for a meaningful life. Callahan has a 40-year career in a variety of marine services, from design, construction and consulting to equipment testing, boat deliveries, and filming. Along with his survival story, he presents an insider’s view in the making of the Academy-Award–winning film Life of Pi and how his survival and other offshore experiences helped to make the ocean into a major character in order to bring authenticity and believability to this allegorical fantasy and ground-breaking movie.
Lin and Larry Pardey Lin and Larry Pardey are among America’s (and the world’s) most knowledgeable and recognized cruising sailors. They are known as “America’s first couple of cruising.” Together, Lin and Larry have sailed more than 200,000 miles, including two circumnavigation, east to west and west to east, aboard self-built, wooden, engine-free cutters under 30 feet. Author of a dozen books, countless magazine articles, and co-creators of five cruising documentaries, Lin and Larry have shared their sailing experiences with tens of thousands around the globe prompting many to take up the sport and live the dream of the cruising lifestyle. Their motto has always been, Go Now!
Halsey Herreshoff D i s t i n guished as the most active Americas Cup sailor during the 12-meter era, for more than 25 years Halsey C. Herreshoff was bowman, crew boss, or navigator in six campaigns and sailed in four Americas Cup matches. A veteran world wide sailor, member of America’s Cup Hall of Fame and third generation of Herreshoff naval architect and engineer. But perhaps his greatest contribution to sailing has been his development of the America’s Cup Hall of Fame at the Herreshoff Marine Museum. The museum along Narragansett Bay, in Bristol, Rhode Island, is deemed one of the nation’s most important historic maritime treasures. It hosts classic yacht regattas, sponsors symposia on classic yacht design and restoration, and operates a sailing school for youth and adults.

Spend the Day with Callahan & the Pardeys Thursday Brings ‘Boating Skills Intensive’ Seminar
Join Wooden Boat Festival headliners Steve Callahan with Lin and Larry Pardey as the adventurers present an all-day line-up of some of their most popular talks. The day ends with a roundtable Q&A where attendees can ask some of the most well-known and well-travelled adventurers in the world anything they’d like! Choose from the Thursday morning session (9:30 am-noon), the afternoon session (1 pm – 4:30 pm), or the whole day. The seminar is staged in the Pope Marine Building, at the foot of City Dock. Seating is limited. Reserve tickets at nwmaritime.org/bsi. Sponsored by the Northwest Maritime Center, the Boating Skills Intensive schedule is as follows: “Aquatic Caveman” with Steve Callahan 9:30am-11am In this seminar, Steve draws on his own experience of having been adrift in 18 • 2014 WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL
a life raft for 76 days and talks about the stages of survival, strategies and techniques that successful survivors use to solve problems. Survival skills, equipment, and the psychology of survival are addressed. A Q&A opportunity follows. “Storm Tactics” with Lin & Larry Pardey 11am-Noon To survive storms with your boat and confidence intact, you must have the right equipment, practice, and a plan. This seminar helps you create that plan and overcome the fear of strong winds. You are shown Cape Horn-tested methods to help any type of boat, classic or modern, ride out extreme weather. Even if you think running or lying-ahull are effective storm tactics for you and your crew, the Pardeys prove you still must learn to heave-to. Gear selection is discussed along with hints so you can create a sea-anchor using gear you already have on board. The seminar goal is to help ensure rough weather becomes an
interesting incident in your life, not the end of your cruising dream. Noon-1pm (Boxed lunch available for purchase) “The Adventure that Shaped My Life” with Steve Callahan 1pm-2pm The sea and the dramas that play out on it give us the chance to get away from the “normal” everyday and hectic society to gain a clearer look at our life and to reevaluate our values and priorities. Steve shares insight into an adventure that changed his perspective and helped shape his life. “The Adventures that Shaped Our Lives” with Lin & Larry Pardey 2:30pm-3:30pm Every life has defining moments. Join Lin and Larry to share the most momentous adventures in their long lives together. From the blowing sands of the Sahara desert, to the desolate waters off Cape Horn you’ll see how

2014 WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL • 19
Virginia V Steams Up the Festival Historic Passenger Craft a Rare Treat in Port Townsend By Robin Dudley One of the grander dames of the 2014 Wooden Boat Festival is the 125-foot Virginia V of Seattle, the last operating wooden-hull steam vessel of the Puget Sound Mosquito Fleet. Owned by the Virginia V Foundation, the ship was listed as a National Historic Landmark Vessel in 1992 and in 1995 began a six-year, $6.5 million restoration. Since 2002, Virginia V has offered public excursions, private charters, and visits to local maritime festivals. The Virginia V hasn’t been to the PT Wooden Boat Festival since 2006, when it docked at the Northwest Maritime Center’s new dock. This year it’ll tie up inside Point Hudson. “We’re hoping bringing the boat into the marina is both safe and feasible,” said Heron Scott, executive director of the Virginia V Foundation. “We’re testing the idea.” Scott, a 2001 graduate of the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding, is the Foundation’s only full-time employee. “I am sometimes the plumber and sometimes the grant writer,” he said. “I’m also the volunteer coordinator” for 200 volunteers, he said. Typical crew is 10 (eight is the minimum required by the Coast Guard). Volunteers fill all but the two Coast Guard–licensed positions: Captain (with a 100-ton license) and Chief
Engineer, with a 400-horsepower license and Steam Engine endorsement; the latter is the hardest of the two licensed positions to fill, Scott said; there’s not much call for steam engineers these days. One of their four engineers, Ross Abbott of Bainbridge, will likely be around during the Festival. HISTORY Matt Anderson built the ship of local old-growth fir in 1922 in Maplewood, on the Kitsap County side of Colvos Passage, for the West Pass Transportation Company of Lisabeula, which is on the Vashon Island side of Colvos Passage, also known as West Pass. It’s still powered by an oilfired steam engine built by Heffernan Iron Works in Seattle’s Pioneer Square in 1904; the 400-horsepower engine, boiler and condenser were transferred to Virginia V from Virginia IV on April 2, 1922; Virginia IV sank that night because the loose engine-mount bolts let water into the hull, but it was later raised, fitted with a diesel engine and used as a cannery tender. Virginia V was put to use by the West Pass Transportation Company, which provided transportation and deliveries to outlying communities all over Puget Sound. On June 11, 1922, Virginia V made her maiden voyage from Elliott Bay (Seattle) to Tacoma down the West Pass, stopping at far-flung Kitsap and Vashon
Virginia V suffered damage while attempting to dock in Olalla, Washington, during a storm on Oct. 21, 1934, and was repaired in under three months at the Lake Washington Shipyard in Houghton.

communities. Known to many as “Virginia Vee,” she made this trip nearly every day until 1938. A 1934 storm caused severe damage; she was rebuilt at the Lake Washington Shipyard in just three months. She also ferried people and goods to Fort Worden in Port Townsend, when it was the U.S. Army Coast Artillery’s headquarters for the Harbor Defense of Puget Sound, and for a short time was a ferry on the Columbia River between Portland and Astoria, Oregon. During World War II, Virginia V ferried workers between Poulsbo and the Keyport Naval Torpedo Station, and after the war began life as an excursion vessel with the Puget Sound Excursion Company, showing tourists all around Puget Sound. In 1968, enthusiasts formed
the Northwest Steamship Company and bought the ship. It was placed on the National Registry of Historic Sites in 1973, but the owners had difficulties maintaining it as a commercial venture. The Virginia V Foundation bought the ship in 1980 for $127,000. VIRGINIA V IN PT Volunteer docents are aboard to greet visitors during the Festival. In the main salon there are knot-tying demonstrations by Bill Dengler and talks on caring for compasses and sextants by Bill Haimes. The vessel has three levels: cargo space, engine rooms and heads on the lowest deck; a large, open main salon on the main deck, and the wheelhouse up on the top deck, open to the elements; only 42 people are
allowed up there at once, Scott said. Overall capacity is 150 passengers. During the Festival Sail By on Sunday, the Virginia V is scheduled to take NWMC donors. It’s a great platform to watch the Sail By, Scott said, because the decks are so high up. “You’re so tall, you have this amazing panoramic view.” Designated a City Landmark by the City of Seattle, Virginia V has a permanent arrangement with Seattle City Parks to moor at Lake Union Park in South Lake Union. It typically does three-hour excursions, often to Lake Washington. They try to get out into salt water at least once a year, Scott said. “We typically don’t do overnight trips,” he said. The sixhour trip to Port Townsend is “one of the longest trips we do this year.”

$10 K Prize, Motorless Boat Race from PT to Alaska NWMC Sponsors a June, 2015 Race; Second Place is a Set of Steak Knives
By Patrick J. Sullivan A winner-take-all boat race for $10,000 is being launched in 2015 by the Northwest Maritime Center. The “R2AK” is a venture for a person or crew to sail, row or paddle the 750 miles from Port Townsend to Ketchikan, Alaska. It’s open to any boat of any size without a motor of any kind on board (not even a “just in case” motor). “It’s the longest adventure race of its kind and the only one that pits different boats against each other,” said Jake Beattie, Northwest Maritime Center executive director. “It may also be the biggest [prize] purse in its class in North America.” First prize is $10,000. “Second place is a set of steak knives,” Beattie said. “It’s kind of a Gold Rush thing. If you get there first, you win 10 Grand.” The race is slated to start at 8 a.m. June 4, 2015 on Port Townsend Bay. Stage I is a 40-mile crossing from Port Townsend to Victoria, British Columbia, on Canada’s Vancouver Island. People are invited to do this stage without being committed to go on to Alaska. Participants who make it to Victoria without needing to be rescued qualify to continue northward. That race starts June 5. There is no limit to the number of crew, but all crew who start the journey must finish - no swapping out along the way. Beyond the Strait of Juan de Fuca crossing, there is no race support network. There are a few waypoints, but people are basically on their own. “There is not a race specific safety net, intentionally,” Beattie said. “We don’t want people who need one.” Each participating boat car-

ries an electronic tracking device to be followed via website. Fans can follow the progress, and race officials would be in Ketchikan to verify the first to finish. As soon as a champion is declared in Ketchikan, a “sweep” boat starts out from Port Townsend and covers about 75 miles a day. Racers have the option of getting a ride on the boat, or finishing the journey on their own after being tapped out. Beattie believes the substantial first-place prize should attract Olympic-class rowers, sailors, and people who do a lot of voyaging in small boats, and know the Inside Passage tides and currents.

“It’s kind of a Gold Rush thing. If you get there first, you win 10 Grand.” Jake Beattie executive director Northwest Maritime Center
“A lot of people do this in small boats every year, but there’s never been a race,” Beattie noted. “Our goal is to do something cool, that pays for itself, and which helps to raise awareness about accessibility to the water.” Beattie conveys a tone of fun, but the race is a serious effort. Necessary items to meet
race and government requirements are a SPOT tracker and subscription for emergencies, VHF radio, sound signal, navigation lights, flares for signaling distress at night, an approved PFD for everyone on board, and a throwable flotation device. Successful race applicants should be proficient in navigation, first aid, able to row/ paddle/sail for long periods of time, radio use, collision awareness and avoidance, trip planning and voyage logistics, and have necessary repair skills related to their vessel. Participating vessels are subject to evaluation by design and construction, inherent buoyancy, stability and safety equipment.
“Do you have it?” the race promotion asks. “If your idea of a good time sounds like blisters, mild-hypothermia, and the catharsis of accomplishing goals that others would dismiss due to their sheer magnitude, Race to Alaska was made for you.” Learn more at the official website, racetoalaska.com.

High Stakes Tetris: Festival Harbormasters Make it Fit By Libby Urner Looking out over the acres of varnish in the Wooden Boat Festival harbor, with gleaming classics filling every available cranny, it’s hard to imagine that for much of the year, Point Hudson’s 70-odd slips lie empty. Working behind the scenes for months, the Harbormaster team is a big part of what makes the magic happen. Beginning in March, the boat acceptance team meets weekly to go over boat applications – the complex dance of creating a rich, varied collection of boats that actually fit in the harbor. Adventuress Captain Daniel Evans has been at the helm as the Capital-H Harbormaster since 2010. Boat registrar Libby Urner herds the cats, and makes sure we have vessel specs, photos and descriptions, with a lot of help from Northwest Maritime Center staffer Catherine Leporati. We aim for a mix – old, new, huge, tiny, shiny and salty. In an average year, the Festival has about 170 boats in the water in a harbor designed to
hold no more than 70. Getting them to fit on paper is just the beginning! Working from detailed harbor measurements and annual soundings, we plug the data into RhinoCAD and start arranging. Then rearranging. Harbor layout is always a work in progress – if a boat cancels, it creates a ripple effect. Someone breaks their ankle and needs to be dockside. Someone installs new davits, and when they arrive, they don’t fit. Concierge Melissa Groussman calls everyone with a “time window” to arrive – contrary to popular notion, arriving really early will NOT ensure you a dockside slip, but will keep you motoring in circles for hours. We need to park the big boats first – leaving room in the turning basin, and placing the “anchor” boats that hold the raft-outs on the linear dock. In six hours, a crew of 25 pushboat crews and line handlers will park more 5,000 linear feet of boats, ranging from 8’ prams to 125’ steamers. Most of the drivers hold Masters’ licenses, and all have literally thousands of hours of

close-quarters maneuvering experience. It’s an incredibly complex skill set – database jockey, CAD geek, radio operator juggling five calls with a smile, pushboat cowboy, dockline load manage-
ment – all with zero margin for error. We’re playing high-stakes Tetris with irreplaceable, fragile works of art. Safety is priority No. 1 – if the Harbormasters ask you to
do something (or to stop doing something), there’s a good reason. We’re justifiably proud of what we do. And, looking out at that acre of varnish, we think you’ll agree that the end result is worth it.
We Shall Miss ‘HarborMasher’ Doug Rathbun For the first time since the Clinton Administration, this year’s Wooden Boat Festival will not be graced by longtime “HarborMasher” Doug Rathbun, who finally figured out a way to get out of doing the harbor layout. (Doug, 60, died on June 11, 2014) Doug was a genius at computers and geometry, with a dry wit and an encyclopedic knowledge of boats big and small. It was Doug’s crazy idea to park ‘em sideways,

fitting eight in the space of four. If Doug said it would fit,
38 • 2014 WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL
it would fit. Though battling cancer for the past several years, he continued to wrestle with the CAD layout all night, and still get out and park boats all day in a thunderstorm. From using a dinghy jib as a waters’l for mighty Team Dorjun, to literally raising Caine, to managing to get himself fired on Festival Friday, Doug kept things interesting around here. Fair winds and following seas, HarborMasher. You’re incredibly missed.

2014 WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL • 39
Guide to 38th Festival Boats Absolute 1970
Trumpys were built in Annapolis, Maryland, and were only afforded by the very wealthy. This boat was originally built for Bayard Sharp of the Dupont dynasty. Trumpys were coastal cruisers, not passage makers. Absolute is a houseboat design (not to be confused with what we in the NW consider a “houseboat”). Frederiksted, U.S. Virgin Islands.
Ada Wynn 1964
One of several Herreshoff-designed Rozinantes built by Giles at NorthShore Yard in San Francisco. Yellow cedar planking, bronze fastened to white oak frames with a marine ply deck. Many recent upgrades inside and out, including new 5hp Honda, new running and standing rigging, and Hood roller furler. Port Townsend, Wash.
Adventure 2005
Adventure is a large, heavy sailing pram designed for training people how to sail. She is a masterpiece of design by the late, great Pacific Northwest boat designer William Garden. Port Townsend, Wash.
Adventuress 1913
The schooner Adventuress, built in East Boothbay, Maine, is owned and operated by the non-profit Sound Experience. She sails throughout Puget Sound and the Salish Sea to educate, inspire, and empower an inclusive community to make a difference for the future of our marine environment. Port Townsend, Wash.
Alcyone 1956
Shipwright Frank Prothero designed and built the schooner Alcyone, an 81’ gaff-rigged topmast schooner. She was built in six years as a backyard project and launched in 1956. Her construction is carvel planked red cedar on steam bent oak frames, with her backbone and decks made from Port Orford cedar and bulwarks made from yellow cedar. Her spars are clear vertical grain fir. Port Townsend, Wash.
Allegra 1951
The Allegra was built as a yacht by the respected Bensen Brothers yards in Vancouver, BC. She has sailed through the Panama Canal in the past and presently serves as my home, art gallery and studio traveling to SE. Alaska every summer to pursue my wood carving endeavor and art work. See www.victorcano. com Bellingham, Wash.
Anna D 1968
The Anna D is an excellent example of the fine design of William Garden combined with the boatbuilding skill of Bill Richter of Meridian Boat Works. Her keel was laid in 1968 and launched in 1974 out of Moss Landing California. We started the conversion in 2010 and have a ways to go. Sean and Robyn Ryan welcome you aboard. Tacoma, Wash.
Arctic Tern 2014
A stretched version of Iain Oughtred’s Arctic Tern design, she features an enlarged gunter sloop rig with decks and bulkheads fore and aft. Originally designed at 18’2” in length, the person commissioning the boat preferred the longer length of the Caledonia Yawl, and the narrower beam of the Arctic Tern. Thus this is a hybrid of the two. Allyn, Wash.
Argonaut II 1922
Argonaut II is a 73’ classic wooden yacht featuring a narrow beam canoe stern design. The hull is cedar, the decks are painted fir and the house and 6” wide rails are teak. She is powered by a single Gardner 6L3 Diesel which uses less than 3 gallons per hour at full speed. This engine was installed in 1940. Seattle, Wash.
Ariel of Victoria 1980
Built and designed by Ronald Hunt, a refugee from the oil fields of Saskatchewan who moved out to Vancouver Is-
40 • 2014 WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL
land and fell in with a “rather salty crowd” in Nanaimo and decided to build a boat. Built over “7 years of madness” (his words), Ariel is planked with Alaskan Yellow Cedar on White Oak frames. With Western Red Cedar decking, Sitka Spruce mast and booms & powered by a marinized Perkins 4-236 from the Alaskan railroad. His first and only boat, a full keel with a round, lifted transom akin to local fish boats, she is a wonderful sea boat. Doug and Jane Bond from Victoria were the second owners, raising two boys aboard and playing an active role in the sailing community. We bought her in 2009 and have been sanding ever since (and planking, and corking, and fastening...). And sailing. She is quick and handy, sails with 2, but accommodates 14 for dinner (no reservations required). Seattle, Wash.
Arrow 1974
Arrow was inspired and built from John Gardner’s National Fisherman (1960’s) St. Pierre Dory Lines & Offsets and from builder Karl Sebastian’s involvement with North Pacific halibut dories around Kodiak, AK. Arrow was built as a self directed apprenticeship effort and upon completion, was reviewed by John Gardner as being the handsomest one he’d seen. Since 1977, Arrow has been used as a family “camp” boat all around Puget Sound. She combines seakeeping, simplicity and sheer beauty that has a historical reputation of returning. Port Townsend, Wash.
Arroyo 1938
Big Food is a sail & oar campcruiser. She is outfitted as a lug yawl, with a balanced lug main and a sprit-boom mizzen. Seattle, Wash.
Bobbie 1956

Camp Skiff 2014
19’ stitch and glue camp skiff, built of marine and exterior plywood. Electric powered. Bellingham, Wash.
Carlyn 1996
S/V Carlyn is more than a sailing vessel that takes youth into wilderness areas to explore. She is more than a inquiry based science platform. She is more than just the idea of adventure - she is “Adventure.” Deer Harbor, Wash.
Flat bottom skiff built by the Northwest School of Wooden Boat Building’s Small Craft Class of 2013/2014. Port Hadlock, Wash.
Carousel 1953
Aura 1948
Aura is a the 5th Blanchard 33 built. She was designed by William Garden in 1946; Blanchard Boat Co. built nine sister ships six months apart in the late 1940’s. Aura was owned by Norman C. Blanchard, son of the builder, from 1952 to 1977. She is in her fourteenth season of skippered charters with Classic Daysailing at Deer Harbor on Orcas Island. See www.classicdaysails.com Deer Harbor, Wash.
Azulita 2013
FOR SALE
Bandwagon 2001
The Hvalsoe 16 is one in a series of combination rowing and sailing craft from Seattle area builder/designer Eric Hvalsoe. The most recent rig option is an 80 square foot balanced lug mainsail with 10 square foot mizzen. Bandwagon was built cedar plank over oak ribs in traditional lapstrake fashion, and is actively camp cruised. Plans are available, as well as commissions for new construction from the builder.

Compadre 1929
Carolina Skiff 2014
Built by Blanchard Boat Company as We’re Here, she won the 1949 Swiftsure Lightship Race. Arroyo was restored and rebuilt in Port Townsend, including ribs, deck, deck beams, cockpit, electrical, engine, electronics, prop, shaft, exhaust, galley and hull refastening. Re-launched in 1998, Arroyo has participated in Wooden Boat Festivals in both Port Townsend and Seattle. Seattle, Wash.
Built by the Northwest School of Wooden Boat Building’s 2013 Contemporary Boat Building class. Port Hadlock, Wash.

Built by owner Matt McCleary, Ceridwen was lofted in the fall of 1982 with help from John and Kevin Magner. Stephanie, his 1st mate, joined the endeavor in 1985. Ceridwen was launched in 1994, and made her maiden voyage in August 1996, from Port Angeles to Port Hadlock, which is now her home port. The McClearys along with their children Kelsey and Carter, have spent many summer vacations sailing in the San Juan and Gulf Islands, and participating in the Captain Raynaud International Schooner Race. Port Hadlock, Wash.
Chesuki 1986
I love the way she sits so low, when sitting on the floor boards with the water and the shore passing by there is such a sense of movement and speed. It makes it easy to slip over the side to cool off in the heat of the day also. You may think that low hanging boom is a bother but she is more stable with a low sail and the scramble adds to the fun. There is a bit of challenge to rigging her and adjusting the sails just right, so you won’t get bored easily and the reward is a thrilling ride at her best. If your timing is right I may take you for a spin! Renton, Wash.
Chinook 2001
She’s a Sam Devlin Chinook 21 design, built by Devlin Designing Boat Builders in Olympia, Wash. using the marine plywood and epoxy, stitch-and-glue construction method. She is powered by a 20hp Yanmar water-cooled diesel with a sail drive with a cruising speed of 6 knots @ half a gallon per hour. Burien, Wash.
Columbia Sailing Dinghy 1925
Built by Portland, Ore., ship chandler The Beebe Co. and designed by Naval Architect Walter Howell. She’s spruce on oak framing, deep and heavy enough for sailing on the Columbia River despite her small size. She was built for the Failing family, Portland pioneers and early prominent citizens. Completely rebuilt 2014 by Mike Thacker, a boat carpenter and craftsman who works for Brusco Tug & Barge, in Longview WA. Portland, Ore.
Compadre is a 43’ bridgedeck cruiser, one of only three with the galley and saloon forward. Her hull is Port Orford cedar on white oak frames, and her house is Burmese teak. She is currently powered by twin Chrysler Crowns. Her interior layout and cabinetry are nearly all original. Compadre is her original name. Bainbridge Island, Wash.
Contessa 1977
Contessa is a 38’on deck, 47.5’ LOA gaff topsail schooner. Designed by Geo. Stadel Jr, and built by G.I.”Sonny” Hodgdon in East Boothbay Maine. White oak keel and frames, with Honduras mahogany FOR SALE planking, and teak decks. Ballasted with lead, both internal and external. Lake Stevens, Wash.
Czarinna 1991
Czarinna is a 30’ x 8’6” fantail cruiser built in Olympia by Sam Devlin. From 19912006, she was a frequent visitor to the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival. Since then, she has been exploring the wonders of the Northeast’s inland waterways, from her home port in Rensselaer, NY. Czarinna is returning to Sam’s shop this summer to upgrade her electrical systems and have a general going-over. While she’s in the area, I know Czarinna will be delighted at the opportunity to see old friends and make new ones at the WBF in September. Rensselaer, New York
Dolores M. Jackson 2007
She’s a Murray Peterson gaff rigged schooner. Bainbridge Island, Wash.
Draiodoir 1935
Draiodoir was built by Hugh Garrett and designed by Ed Monk Sr. The owners are Mishawn and Danielle Ewart, and this is the first year participating in the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival; they are looking forward to the boating experience, the fun, and the enjoyment of being with fellow wooden boat enthusiasts. Grapeview, Wash.

Draft is only 12 inches. Salem, Ore.
Duo 2014
Duo is a 2 sheet plywood dinghy that can be rowed or sailed. She can be built in 20-25 hours and at 50 pounds is light enough to cartop . A nesting version is also available. You can build her using plans from Woods Designs. Saturna island, BC
El Mistico 1927
El Mistico was on the leading edge of technology in her day. From a contemporary magazine article in Pacific Power Boat: “The application of the low powered oil engine to the propulsion of medium sized yachts and workboats is a comparatively new thing.” She was originally equipped with a Fairbanks-Morse four cylinder 40hp at 650 RPM two cycle type diesel. She’s proudly serving as the committee boat for this year’s festival races. Shelton, Wash.

Festival Boats – Continued from Page 40
Ellie 2011
Ellie is a John Welsford designed Navigator yawl built by Joel Bergen in Mukilteo, Wash.. She sports a Gunter rigged main, roller furled jib and sprit-boomed mizzen, all rigged for easy access from the cockpit. Her anchor well and large watertight storage locker under the foredeck make her an ideal camp cruiser or daysailer. Mukilteo, Wash.
Elsita 1935
She’s a William Hand designed staysall schooner, privately owned and family maintained. Port Hadlock, Wash.
Emily 1973
Designed and built by Bill Garvie in 1973, a traditional double-ender. Bronze fastened African mahogany on oak, lead keel, Sitka spruce spars, teak FOR SALE decks. We purchased her in 1997 and departed for a 3 year, 17,000 mile Pacific voyage, to 15 countries including Panama, Easter Island, Pitcairn Island, French Polynesia, Samoa and the Marshall Islands. We now sail the Pacific NW. Snohomish, Wash.
Fable 1978
Fable is a take-off from a Chapelle design, originally designed as a Cat Ketch spritzel rig. Her beam was determined from Baila’s criteria of living aboard, being able to solo sail, and have enough room for 3 Dreadnaught guitars to play (at the same time). With no centerboard and shallow draft, she can go almost anywhere at any tide (not too fast). Fable’s rig was redesigned by Carl Chamberlin as a gaff sloop with a tabernacle mast. Sails are by Port Townsend Sails. Many exceptional boatworkers have had a hand in her design and care, including Bruce Tipton, David Acorn, Nick Benton, Ernie Baird, Kit Africa, Miguel Winterburn, Doug Rathbun, Jimmy Blakelock, John Zimmer, Jim Daubenberger III, Julia Maynard, Bryan Wentzel, Antonio Salguero, Walter Tilsdale, and Brion Toss. In her lifetime Fable has sailed in the Nehalem River (Oregon), Port Townsend Bay, Lake Union, and the San Juan Islands. Port Townsend, Wash.
Friendship 2006
A Friendship Sloop designed by Jay R. Benford and built by Paul Miller. The hull is cold molded red cedar, approximately 9/16” thick. Her loaded cruising displacement is 300 pounds and she carries 260 square feet of sail. Cowichan Bay, B.C.
Gem 1932

Owner Peter McCowin built this 19’ gaff rigged topsail sloop to recreate the sailing qualities and look of a typical turn of the century sloop in an affordable scale. Constructed using the philosophy that a small boat can be built as meticulously as a high class yacht. Peter confesses to having spent far too much time sanding, varnishing, and fabricating the many small details from portholes to mast fittings. Based on a Stevenson design, the sloop incorporates many changes such as a combination of a traditional ballasted keel and retractable exterior fin. Since late 2004, the Kaitlin can easily be found exploring the many waterways and small bays of southern Puget Sound on most summer weekends. Enumclaw, Wash.

La Boheme 1926
La Boheme is an Atkin Eric design. Her keel was laid in 1926 in Victoria and she was launched in 1938. She was completely rebuilt, stem to stern, in 1981 but her mast is absolutely original! The rebuilt hull is Port Orford Cedar on oak frames. Brion Toss gave her all new rigging and Sean Rankins provided her with a fresh suit of sails. This past winter’s project was a completely wooded and refinished mast. Woah, that was a lotta sandpaper! La Boheme frequents the San Juan and Gulf Islands as well as local sailing on Port Townsend Bay. Port Townsend, Wash.

Festival Boats – Continued from Page 42
Lita Alv 2012
Iain Oughtred has skillfully captured the essence of the Os-Elvar using marine plywood for the planking and laminations for the new frames. His design improves on the beauty of the traditional Os-Elvar by introducing a more pronounced sheer line and the taller “horns” at the stem and stern. He called his design “Elf” (Alv in Norwegian) and there’s something impish about this boat, stating “Hey, I’m mischievous and proud of it”. Bellingham, Wash.
Lorraine 1959
Lorraine is a Nordic Folkboat built in Denmark in 1959. She was imported for racing in San Francisco then trucked to the Northwest for cruising. I bought Lorraine (named for my mother) in 1979. Many of Port Townsend’s finest marine trades people have (and continue to) contributed their skills to maintenance and retrofits of Lorraine. A joy to sail, she answers her helm in light or heavy wind--a wonderful Salish Sea day sailor or cruiser! Port Townsend, Wash.

Merry Wherry 2010
This stable, user-friendly kit boat has long proven herself to be excellent for recreation, exercise, or competition. At 35 pounds, she’s easy for one person to cartop and transport and quick to respond to every stroke. Carbon fiber oars or lightweight wooden oars built from plans complete the sliding seat rowing rig. This wherry’s a joy to row. Anacortes, Wash.
Merry Wherry Two 2010

Orenda 1979
This was the favorite boat of the infamous builder of wood/ epoxy yachts, designed and built by Vic Carpenter. As Marlin Bree described her “The wheel was handcrafted of alternating strips of mahogany and spruce. I grasped it; the boat felt alive, almost ready to fly away. Belowdecks was a woodworker’s dream. Everything was bright-finished. Bunks seemed to grow out of the cabin sides. Overhead handrails were sculpted into the cabin top. In the stern was a magnificent navigator’s saloon, in varnished wood and full of natural light. The chart table was big enough to open up a chart. As I got ready to leave, I couldn’t help but slip behind the wheel again and imagine what it was like to drive 1,200 square feet of sail piled on that golden mast.” Nanaimo, BC
Orion 1934
Launched as Edlu, Olin Stephen’s design #35 was built for offshore racing. Orion won the 1934 Newport to Bermuda race and many others in the 30’s and 40’s. During WWII, she served in the Coastal Picket Patrol, sailing the Eastern Seaboard in search of U-Boats. After a trip through the Panama Canal and a circuit of the South Pacific, Orion has found her way to the Pacific Northwest via Southern California.

In 2007 she went on the San Francisco Maritime National Park gunkholing cruise up the Sacramento River with the Schooner Alma. Rio Nido, Calif.
44 • 2014 WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL
A classic double-ender (Spidsgatter) designed and built in Denmark. Built for comfort and speed, these buxom boats feature wide beam, deep keel, great volume below decks with extra tall masts. Pax was designed by MSJ Hansen and built by Karl Thomsen in Kalundborg, Denmark. She was exported to California in 1961, and restored in British Columbia in the 1980s. Former Wooden Boat Festival Director Kaci Cronkhite brought her to Port Townsend in 2007, and has been tracking down her history worldwide ever since, as recorded in her book Finding Pax. Port Townsend, Wash.
Peter Kagan 1977
She was purchased new and trailered to Southern California by a retired Naval Officer. I found the boat in 1985 after searching several years for a Beetle Cat located anywhere on the West coast. I’ve replaced the cockpit coaming, canvas and rub rails several times over the years, with a new centerboard last year. She’s frequently found sailing on Lake Union in Seattle. Kenmore, Wash.
Pia 1938
Designed by Danish marine architect Aage Utzon, Pia was built in Denmark in 1938, but was not commissioned until just after the end of WW2. She was imported into Victoria, BC in the early 1960s along with five other 38 square meter Klasse Spidsgatters, including Port Townsend vessels Eio, Da Capo and Doxy. Alerted by Da Capo owner Scott Swantner, I
Pacific Swift 1986
Patamar 1937
She’s a bridge deck cruiser designed by Jake Farrell and built in Seattle by Carr and Stone. She sleeps 2: eats 4, and drinks 6+. We’re longtime members of the Classic Yacht Association, the Wooden Boat Foundation, Seattle’s Center for Wooden Boats, and the Seattle Yacht Club. Seattle, Wash.
found Pia at anchor near-derelict in 1991 in Cortez Island, BC. An intensive two year repair began, including new deck covering, cabin top, eyebrows, rails, cockpit, rudder and tiller, aft end of cabin, companionway, both forward and companionway hatches, skylight and the entire interior including engine beds. The hull, floors, framing and deck beams were in excellent shape and entirely original. Pia’s construction, while typical in Denmark, is unusual in America. She has single sawn frames on station, taken from naturally shaped grown timbers with two steam bent frames between. Her frames stop well short of the keel and are bolted to massive grown floor timbers, shaped from the crotches of trees, whose ends, rather than being cut flat, reflecting the crotches they are taken from, are shaped to follow the frames well up the sides of the hull. The planking is tight joined, like a barrel. She isn’t caulked. Instead, a strand of cotton was twisted and laid on the plank edge before the next plank was installed. Frames, backbone and beams are all oak. Hull, deck, cabin top and spars are Danish pitch pine. Aside from the powerful construction, these are no doubt the main reason for the Klasse Spidsgatters’ noted longevity. All but two of the original 26 38 square-meter Klasse Spidsgatters ever built are still accounted for and sailing. Olympia, Wash.
Plaisir 2009
She’s a Haven 12 ½ built by the Northwest School of Wooden Boat Building and used just three summers in Montana. Her hull is western red cedar hull, white oak ribs, vertical grain fir spars, lead keel, stainless steel center board, mahogany FOR SALE transom and seats, bronze fittings, with trailer, sail covers, mooring cover, trailering cover. Missoula, Mont.

Her hard-chined, plank-on-frame construction is unusual, with transverse planking on the bottom and longitudinal planking above the waterline, similar to Chesapeake Oyster boats. Her accommodation is enormous for a 26’ boat, with a raised deck and small pilothouse giving standing headroom in the galley. As far as we know, she’s the only Quadrant Sloop to make her way to the West Coast. Port Townsend, Wash.
Since 1988, Wayland Marine has offered kits to build stable, user-friendly rowing shells for one or two rowers.

Pocket Ship 2008
A small cruising sailboat, meant to sail well, provide dry camping accommodations, and tow behind a 4-cylinder car. The enclosed cabin area is identical to an average four-man tent, but drier, more private, and more secure. A typical amateur builder might require about 30 weekends and occasional evenings to see this one through. Plans comprise 11 pages of architectural drawings and fullsized patterns for nearly every part in the boat. PocketShip is stiff and fast and tacks through 90 degrees. We are thrilled with performance and handling---all expectations have been exceeded. Annapolis, Md.
Providence 1903

Puffin (CWB) 1906
Steam Launch Puffin was built by the Truscott Boat Works in St. Joseph Missouri. She was powered by an early gasoline engine, though her hull design, a “Compromise” model, was originally intended for steam power. Her construction is oak planks over cypress frames. She was found derelict, restored and converted to steam power in 1975. She was eventually donated to Seattle’s Center for Wooden Boats by Bob Evans of Missoula, Mont. Steam launches like Puffin were popular in the 1880’s, when the only other options for propelling boats were rowing and sailing. Her boiler burns wood, usually scrap from the Center’s boat shop. A bushel basket of wood propels her for about an hour. Puffin’s original boiler wore out in 1999, and was replaced with a duplicate built to current boiler codes. Her original steam engine was damaged several years ago and was replaced with the current one in 2001. Volunteer machinists built the current engine from a commercially available kit. Puffin’s power plant, while modern, closely resembles a typical power plant used in steam launches in the 1800s. Seattle, Wash.
Rabannah 2014
Rabannah is a home-designed, home-built cruising sailboat. She is the culmination of many years of dreaming, a year or so of planning, and two years of construction. She was built in Salt Lake City, and launched into the Great Salt Lake in 2013. Salt Lake City, Utah

Most of her wrought iron floor straps have been removed, cleaned, re-finished, and re-fastened. Spars are Sitka Spruce, with a fractional Marconi rig. Designed by an unknown British Navy admiral, she has been documented in home ports of Hong Kong, Southampton England, San Francisco, Coos Bay, Port Townsend, and Bellingham.

Silva Bans sure is a great boat to cruise in; she has taken us on many enjoyable, safe explorations of the islands. When we pull into a quiet small bay for the night and row ashore with our daughter, no one runs us off. And we’re glad when people come down to the beach to chat and bring us cookies (OK it happened once as I was still aboard sanding). Heck after a fine day of sailing when we do ancho,r we just relax aboard and swing or read and enjoy the beauty of the boat on the water. Some spots are so pretty, and inviting we will just jump in, then crawl out to lay on her warm wood decks and admire our surroundings and her too.
