Festival Poster is Tony Grove’s Wood Block Print A black and white wood block print created by Canadian artist and shipwright Tony Grove was selected as the 2010 Wooden Boat Festival poster art. A native of Vancouver, Tony Grove is a self-taught artist, fine furniture maker, shipwright and father who works on a variety of projects and once illustrated a book for the United Nations. He and his family moved to Gabriola Island, British Columbia, in 1999 where he became an instructor at the Silva Bay Shipyard School. In 2003 he became the school’s head instructor, teaching traditional boatbuilding plus designing and teaching a course for ship cabinetry/joinery. Tony is now working for

himself as a part-time teacher, custom woodworker, boatbuilder and artist at his home shop tucked amongst the trees on Gabriola Island. See a gallery of Tony’s art or have him sign your Wooden Boat Festival poster on second floor at the NWMC’s yellow building during the Festival and attend his presentation on ships’ cabinetry on Friday, noon-1:30. Tony is the first Canadian artist chosen to do the Festival poster but he’s no stranger to Port Townsend, being a regular member of our Festival Faculty.

Director Says ‘Bon Voyage’ I remember the thrill I felt when we “untied the knot” last year and officially opened the Northwest Maritime Center and home of the Wooden Boat Foundation to the community! What a grand sight it was to see so many of you streaming onto the property, encountering the Compass Rose and walking the upper decks for the first time. But we didn’t stop there. In May we opened the Wooden Boat Chandlery, H.W. McCurdy Library and Aldrich’s Galley. We hosted the Port Townsend High School prom and the awards ceremony for the Classic Mariners Regatta on the same evening in June. In July, we opened the catering kitchen and new furniture arrived for the Maritime Meeting Room. If this is your first time visiting since the 2009 Wooden Boat Festival, there are new spaces to explore, new programs to discover. Main Gate Festival grounds at the end of Water Street have received a dramatic facelift thanks to ongoing work of the City and our neighbors. The Landfall Restaurant is mostly gone. PT Foundry is now in the Cupola House. Suva and Pleiades offer charters all summer, expanding the options for people who visit to get out on the water. Around you are people embracing the maritime life, guiding our youth toward promising careers in the maritime professions and trades, and joining a working waterfront here in Port Townsend and throughout Puget Sound of tradesmen, craftspeople, artisans, and water men and women all earning a living from their association with the sea. As I head toward retirement at the end of this year, I will cherish these last four years as some of the best in a career that has spanned four decades. It is time for me to hang up my marlin spike. Bon voyage!

From the Helm ... Welcome! Thirtyfive years ago, Point Hudson Marina was nearly empty, the end of Water Street was an industrial zone, and many downtown Port Townsend buildings were boarded up. A small group of people had a big idea, and 2,000 people showed up for the first Wooden Boat Festival in North America. Look at where we’ve come! This year, we celebrate the Festival’s largest expansion since the founders’ dreams became reality. Together, with all of you attending, we’ve reached another waypoint in the journey of our organization, the journey of our community and your journey here. What started as a dream among friends has become reality; a boat once imagined, many times revised, now anchored on our waterfront. As wooden boat builders, owners and admirers, you can no doubt empathize with our struggles in the building process, the three decades it has taken to get here and the profound horizon, the exciting opportunities ahead. Like any prudent mariner, we have little time to rest. We’ll take our favorite weekend off with you to celebrate and enjoy the voyage just completed. We’ll celebrate our permanent home with doors open wide and another grand gathering of wooden boats. Then, on Monday, we’ll check our docklines, change our oil and pull out our charts. Thank you for your support, suggestions and commitment through the years. You’ve helped us build the boat, the buildings ... now help us plan the next leg of the voyage!

By Patrick J. Sullivan She looks best with her front doors open to the water, wooden decks and windows washed in sunshine. Just off the Compass Rose, the feet of young sailors position sailboats with eyes already on the water. The water. The water. This 34th Wooden Boat Festival celebrates the Northwest Maritime Center’s first anniversary as a fully operational waterfront facility, and home to Festival-hosting Wooden Boat Foundation (WBF). (After the festival, meet in the Chandlery Saturday at 2 pm for a tour). Water frames Port Townsend’s historic place as an international port of call since the 1850s, and well before that with native tribes on canoe journeys. The Northwest Maritime Center has added its foundation: the first new waterfront construction in the downtown commercial core since the 1960s, and the only one with front doors purposely facing the water. Access to the water has allowed the town over time to be many things, and not just one thing. That’s what the Northwest Maritime Center is shaping up to be, a multi-use, year-round facility that serves locals and visitors. Board members describe it as a portal that promotes all local maritime education and marine trade opportunities. It’s also a venue for conferences, meetings, luncheons, weddings and even the high school prom. The center doesn’t have to be one thing, and certainly can’t be narrow and expect to survive as a nonprofit operation. “Our relationship with the

board goal. “Stan did a fantastic job of helping us through a very challenging period when we had to focus so much of our energy on completing the capital campaign and actually completing the nearly $13-million construction project,” said Steve Oliver, now a retired attorney who first brought his wooden boat to the Festival 16 years ago. He’s been on the NWMC board for eight years. “It’s a pretty small organization to take on a task of that size and he put in a tremendous number of hours to make sure those things got accomplished.” This summer, the NWMC began advertising for a new executive director. “Stan’s main focus had to be the capital campaign,” said Carol Hasse, NWMC board member and a sailmaker in PT since the 1970s. “What the main focus of our new director will be is bringing this program piece into fruition and building the bridges with other marine trades.” Oliver said this: “We need an individual who can be sensitive [to the respective similar, yet different missions of the NWMC and WBF] and has the charisma and personality to interact effectively with major donors and people involved with programs

Uniquely Port Townsend Still coming up with a list of what the NWMC is, board members and the NWMC are quick to say what the NWMC is not. For example, it’s not a museum or a place where staff wears costumes to work. There is paint on the boat shop floor and sand being tracked inside by fledgling sailors and young pirates. “It’s not a museum,” King said. “It’s not a place for static displays. It’s not a school with a hard-wired facility. It’s meant to be a portal where you find experiences.” It’s not a copy of someplace else. For example, what works so well at Mystic Seaport, Conn., (billed as the Museum of America and the Sea) is not what’s best in Port Townsend. “Costumes don’t provide real education,” said Carol Hasse. “We actually have an authentic and viable marine trades community and many accomplished circumnavigators and sailors who live here. We are a working waterfront.” Building bridges The marine trades community is a diverse group and skeptical, by nature, due to individual interests and associations. There has been some “rough sailing” along the way while the NWMC went after a lion’s share of the local and regional dollars when it came to the capital fundraising campaign, and that does have short-term impacts on other groups, Oliver acknowledged. “What we hope and firmly believe is the long-term impact for marine trades and the School of Wooden Boatbuilding and those types of marine-related activities in our community will

Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader

be very positive,” Oliver said of the NWMC’s presence. “We intend to use our facility to make sure people gain an understanding of marine trades in the whole community.” King said nonprofits in general need to collaborate and establish alliances to avoid duplication during these hard economic times. “If we are attentive to providing more success for everybody, the perception will go along accordingly,” King said of the NWMC’s leadership role. Certainly other businesses and programs benefit from the Wooden Boat Festival. About a third of the 30,000 expected this year are hard-core wooden boat people, said Kaci Cronkhite, Festival director since 2002 and now senior advisor to the NWMC and WBF. This Festival is one of the top wooden boat gatherings in the world, and unique because of the emphasis on education (as it has been since the 1977 debut). Festival promotion is a longterm investment that pays off whenever people come for a Ron Schmitt sands the canvas deck of his truant boat.

Dick Wagner: The Spirit Is Genetic

Seattle’s Center for Wooden Boats creator draws lifetime achievement award Interviewed by Ross Anderson I first met Dick Wagner some 40 years ago, when I rented a lovely little daysailer at his Lake Union houseboat – a cozy, floating cottage virtually surrounded by wooden rowboats and sailboats rafted three and four deep. Over the intervening 40 years, Wagner moved his fleet to South Lake Union and became a leading voice in the revival of the wooden boat culture that has become a unique facet of the Pacific Northwest character. At the 34th Wooden Boat Festival, Wagner is being recognized by the Wooden Boat Foundation with a lifetime achievement award for his contributions to community spirit and culture. Recently, the founder of the Center for Wooden Boats retold his story. Here’s an edited version of what he had to say:

Seattle in the ’50s The Pacific Northwest is a place where wooden boats have been built and maintained with a high standard of craftsmanship and design. I suppose there are several reasons for this. Part of it was the availability of excellent building materials – cedar and spruce and fir. But it was more than that. There was a lot of competi-

“People were intrigued by old boats and maritime history, but didn’t want to stare at an artifact in a glass case. People wanted to touch and feel the boats.” Dick Wagner tion – dozens of small boatshops and yards that were making their livings building small boats for work and for pleasure. And Puget Sound has always been a place where you didn’t have to be rich to own a fine boat. I grew up on the East Coast, where yachts were very exclusive. Out here, fine boats were available for regular people. I grew up in New Jersey and came west for a summer job.... And I

never went back. There was a can-do sensibility, the spirit of the pioneers, and that’s what attracted me to this place. And that spirit was genetic, passed along from one generation to the next. When I arrived in Seattle, I lived on a bachelor houseboat on Westlake, next to where I live now. I was working as an architect and spent my spare time wandering the waterfront, standing in the doorways of boatshops, asking questions. When I got my own boat, I started sailing on weekends. When the summer came, I would finish what I was working on and tell my boss, “I’m going sailing. Hope there’s a job when I come back.” Seattle in the ’50s was a very different city. The shores of Lake Union were full of industry – shops and mills making shingles, barrels, cement and, of course, boats. I loved Fishermen’s Terminal, which was filled with handsome small trollers and gillnetters. I was stepping back 100 years in time. Along the way, I met and married Colleen. We had been accumulating small boats around the houseboat, and Colleen thought it would make sense to start renting them. The economy was changing, and people weren’t building wooden boats anymore. Colleen said: “Architecture is fine, but you should do what inspires you.”

Summer of 1968 So I decided to try it for that summer of 1968. We had five boats, rowing and sailing, crammed in around the houseboat. I assumed our friends and neighbors might rent our boats, but nobody else. We opened on Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day, and all the boats went out the first day. Newspapers and TV were giving us some attention, and people started knocking on our door, wanting to rent our boats. People would come to Seattle, and they’d get the idea to rent one of our boats. And they liked what they saw – sort of a living museum. We became sort of a cult. It was obvious we were filling a big vacuum. People were intrigued by old boats and maritime history, but didn’t

want to stare at an artifact in a glass case. People wanted to touch and feel the boats. I worked at the architecture firm that winter. In the spring, I went sailing. And that was that. We collected more boats until space became an issue. They were stacked up everywhere. We had 20 boats, coming and going. We’d raft them up, and on weekends, people wanted to take them out, so we became a second home to a lot of people. Old-time boatbuilders came down and pitched in and gave us credibility. These were builders who started as teenagers, sweeping the floors at local boatyards until they learned the craft. Now they wanted to be a part of preserving the boats and the culture. After about 10 years, we decided

we should think about becoming a nonprofit. We had a meeting at our place on a Friday in 1976. And about 40 people came. We asked if we should take this concept to a higher level, and they all said yes. And that’s how it started. We looked for bigger sites, including South Lake Union, the Naval Reserve base.… That shoreline had been neglected. It was a dirty, gritty neighborhood with an old brick warehouse on its last legs, a cement plant and a former asphalt plant on a public waterway, with piles of asphalt and gravel.

A boat show in 1977 We kept meeting and decided to have a big boat show, and we asked the commander if we could use the Naval Reserve Building. He said OK – as long as we did it over Fourth of July weekend. He couldn’t charge rent, but we had to bring our own toilet paper. That was the first Wooden Boat Show, July 1977. We raised a little money and attracted some attention. In the following years, we developed more programs, workshops and seminars … boat maintenance, bronze casting and forging, lofting and how to use of this new stuff called epoxy.… We were building our constituency. In 1980, we decided to build

the new Center for Wooden Boats on Waterway 4, next to the Naval Reserve. That took three years. One thing leads to another. The center has grown into a year-round, 5,000-square-foot living museum, with 2,000 members and 25 employees, and a budget that approached $2 million. Then we developed our other site on state parkland at Camano Island. And the center continues to grow. We will never have all the money we need, but we will continue to expand our program. It’s a style of education that goes far beyond learning about history. People come here to use their hands and their minds together, and they go away feeling better about themselves. We teach sailing to inner-city kids and homeless kids and disabled people – anything to get kids down to the water and onto boats. It’s all about education. We provide alternative ways to keep people in school, to learn the significance of math and physics and history and culture. Some people will never learn these things from a book, but they might get it from putting a chisel or a sailboat tiller in their hands. (Ross Anderson is a Port Townsend freelance writer and sailor.

When I came back to Sidney, a customer wanted a wooden boat, so I agreed to build it. After that, another one. And another. All word of mouth. Some people would come to us with a design and ask us to build it. Others told us what they wanted, and we would put them together with a designer. We built 35 boats in 20 years, about 70 percent cold-molded, mostly about 40 feet, which fits nicely in our shop and takes about a year. Never two alike I never built two boats alike. At first, we kept the molds, because we thought we’d use them again. But we never did. Maybe my favorite was an 8-meter that we built on top of an older, English boat. My friend talked me into it, brought it to the shop. We turned it upside down, laminated three

“Maybe my favorite [boat] was an 8-meter that we built on top of an older, English boat. We turned it upside down, laminated three layers of red cedar, pulled the old boat out, and it turned out to be a beautiful, 46foot boat.”

Here I am with my dear friend Albert. He loves all kinds of boats, has owned quite a few, and we’ve worked on the rigs of all of them. The list includes a sweet little Albin Vega, a gaff-rigged Pinky schooner, a classic double-ended cutter, a fairly tweaky 42’ French-built multi-spreader aluminum ocean cruiser, and – maybe finally – his current boat, a new 34’ fractional rig, racer/cruiser.

I mention Albert because (if you add large square-riggers) his boats just about describe the arc of our expertise. So no matter what kind of boat you have, give us a call when you are in need of some proper rigging. Any kind of rigging. Fair leads, Brion Toss

Bent Jespersen layers of red cedar, pulled the old boat out, and it turned out to be a beautiful, 46-foot boat. We saved the ballast and the mast, but other than that, it was a new boat that is moored today at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. I retired 15 years ago, and my son runs the shop. I go down there every day for coffee. Sometimes they give me a project, but mostly I try to stay out of the way. But I love my trade. We built beautiful boats for people all over the North America. And the best part is that the people we built boats for became good friends and kept those boats for many, many years. (Ross Anderson is a Port Townsend freelance writer and sailor.

2010 Wooden Boat FestivaL • 11

Highlights of Our 34rd Festival Explore Our Two New Buildings This is our first year to have the whole facility up and running! Be sure to walk through and all around the red and yellow buildings. Three rooms are reserved for Festival presenters. In those rooms you’ll need your wristband (Festival admission ticket) to enter, but nearly all the rest of the spaces are yours to explore. In the Maritime Heritage & Resource Building (yellow), you’ll find the Wooden Boat Chandlery where exponentially more diverse products are now carried year round. Festival clothing is available there, but also in two other locations on campus (by Food and by Membership; see Center Schedule Map). Aldrich’s Galley Coffee shop opens early so if you’re at the Main Gate early, enjoy! In the Chandler Education Building (red) visit our Boat Shop for tool demonstrations by Festool and Lie-Nielsen as well as ongoing boat project display. Upstairs, see the “glass” rooms transformed to Kidz Cove, Maritime Make-Believe and next to it, the AV Room. Third floor is where you’ll find Chart Room and Pilot House.

New! Photo Contest & Juried Exhibit Check out the Festival’s first ever Maritime Photo Contest, a juried exhibit coordinated by local professionals Michael Berman, Jeff Eichen and Mitchel Osborne. See their work, along with the work of others from around the region, in the Maritime Meeting Room. Exhibit access is before 10 am and after 4 pm daily or between presentations with your wristband. Be sure to vote for your favorite photo! Winner will receive the People’s Choice Award.

Visit with Festival Poster Artist Canadian shipwright and artist Tony Grove’s large format, brightly colored graphic-influenced wooden boat paintings will be on exhibit during Festival in the Tretter Gallery – open to everyone – at NWMC. Enter the yellow building via center stairs. Access may be limited at times due to crowds. Tony will be signing WBF posters throughout the Festival. Signed posters will also be available in the Wooden Boat Chandlery before and after the event. Tony’s art exhibit starts first week of September and continues after the Festival. To see more of his work, visit tonygrove.com.

Island Star vs. Salish Star Sunday Two replicas of the famous four-oared gig go head-to-head in friendly rivalry at the 2010 Wooden Boat Festival. The Old Anacortes Rowing and Sailing Society debuts its new boat, the Island Star, built by Emerald Marine Carpentry in Anacortes. The Wooden Boat Foundation competes in the Salish Star, built in 1996 by Ed Louchard and Alex Spear in Point Hudson Boat Shop. Both boats were built to lines taken off the original 1824 American Star, by John Gardner in the 1970’s. The Salish Star, undefeated in fixed-seat rowing, is looking forward to a worthy opponent. The gig race takes place Sunday during the rowing races, starting at 10 am Sunday off the NWMC beach.

Ahoy! Bar Harbor, Wee Nip & the Quarter Deck Pub There are three places to wet yer whistle this year with a Port Townsend Brewing Company award-winning beer-on-tap. On Thursday, 5:30-10 pm and daily, 11 am-midnight, Bar Harbor at the Main Tent is open “as usual.” Based on overwhelming thumbs up (or is that bottoms up?) and a killer view location “at the

into Cupola House when the Wooden Boat Foundation moved to the new Northwest Maritime Center. Pete and his crew have done a beautiful job restoring some of the interior, painting the exterior, and they have a wonderful display of bronze hardware – their specialty! Anything you can imagine can be cast by PT Foundry, from bronze to stainless to cement. The giant traditional cleats positioned outside the nearby Pilot House B&B are examples. Art or function or both for your boat, your home or your workplace. Our doors are open at the Northwest Maritime Center, with the twobuilding site being fully used for the ﬁrst time at this 34th Wooden Boat Festival. Come see! Photo by Jan davis

Point,” the Wee Nip Beach Bar is open Saturday and Sunday, noon5 pm. For those who want to take the view option a little higher, head up to the second floor of the NWMC (yellow building) Maritime Room to have a toast while watching Sunday’s grand Festival Sail-By. Nicknamed the Quarterdeck Pub, PT brews and wine will be offered 2-5 pm Sunday only. A portion of the deck on the second level is restricted to 21 and older attendees due to serving of alcohol. Raise a toast! (P.S. Water and Sunrise Sue’s Coffee also are available.)

Get on the Water During Festival Row, haul, tack, reef, paddle or experience a biodiesel or electric motor. There are dozens of ways to get on the water and hundreds of opportunities to learn something new at dockside during the Festival. Row and sail NWMC & WBF longboats, the eight-oared, three-masted historic replica like Captain Vancouver used when mapping Puget Sound. Or, paddle a Chesapeake or Pygmy kayak. Experience the fast and agile northwest classic Thunderbird (26’) with NWMC sailing instructors or steam around on Pufﬁn with Seattle’s Center for Wooden Boats. Sail on one of our region’s historic vessels: schooners Adventuress,

Martha, Suva, Mycia, Merrie Ellen, Alcyone, Odyssey and Lavengro. Sign up early at the boats or check in with NWMC staff at the northeast corner of the marina. Starts 9 am daily.

Steam-bend a Pocock Rowing Shell How do you build a 26’ Stradivarius? Shipwright Steve Chapin steams and shapes fulllength, 3/32”-thick planks of rare vertical-grain Western red cedar, with a historic form that has been used for a century. Point Hudson Boat Shop (rear of Sail Loft Building), 1-3 pm Friday and Saturday. A new Pocock shell is launched Sunday at 8:30 am on the NWMC Commons. Experienced sculler? Ask about a “test drive.”

Cupola House: PT Foundry Hardware & History You can’t talk about the history of wooden boats and marine trades in Port Townsend without learning about the Langleys, and you can’t walk by Cupola without remembering the 16 years it was our home. Pete’s parents and later, his stepfather Van Hope, were legendary mentors for early marine trades people in Port Townsend. Their generosity, passion and skills continue in this generation. PT Foundry moved

Nonproﬁts, Maritime Authors Together Just after the Main Gate you’ll see a big white tent and a bunch of exhibitors. Be sure to go inside as we’ve moved an expanded group of exhibitors into that area. Port Townsend Marine Trades Association and Sound Experience/Schooner Adventuress staffs are there, as well as maritime authors and other nonprofits. Look for Kids’ Boatbuilding, which will help you find the area if you miss it the first time by. Follow the sounds of joy and little hammers.

Spirit of adventure and discovery makes a difference.

The Landfall Restaurant Has Fallen The last Festival was truly the last for The Landfall, first and oldest restaurant in Point Hudson. A military storage shed when it began in the 1940s, the building was turned into a restaurant by marine trades legend nicknamed “Fiberglass George.” Continued on 14

He also had a boat shop at the back of the lot for a decade. The building’s octagonal section – its most endearing feature next to the ceiling of nautical charts – was added in about 1980 and was the first to go. The Port of Port Townsend owns the land and as of this writing, was awaiting City approval to remove the remaining structure. Visit the Port booth at the Marina Office near Pygmy Kayak for the latest information.

Try and buy your own Festool and Lie-Nielsen hand tools this year in the Boat Shop, first floor of the NWMC Education (red) Building. When you enter this space, we hope you’ll remember our founders, the small boatbuilders, sailors and marine trades people who founded the festival in Sam Connor’s boat shop in Point Hudson. That shop and the DeLeo Building (a long-gone boatshop on the other end of the waterfront) were the inspiration for the building design created by Miller Hull Architects. In addition to tool demos, see a year’s worth of boat projects, try hand tool demonstrations and see the Saw Stop called “the world’s safest table saw.” Tool demos also can be seen daily at the Woodworking Stage and at Edensaw Woods tent at the Point.

Kids Boatbuilding is in “Old” Boat Shop Once inside the Main Gate, take a left and besides some great exhibitors, you’ll see and hear Kids Boatbuilding in the Old WBF Boatshop. This year, the kids get the whole boat shop to themselves. Hulls are made from cabinetry remains from gorgeous Westport Shipyard yachts. Mahogany, teak, cherry – our boats are amazing! Thanks to Westport Shipyard, Edensaw Woods, Carl’s Building Supply

and Port Townsend Sails for keeping the shop supplied with the coolest wooden boat hulls of any Kids’ Boatbuilding group in the country. Start your family tradition!

SEA Marine Hosts Our Boatyard Stage Our neighbor “boatyard” and a major supporter of Wooden Boat Festival and our fleet of program boats, SEA Marine is a model for green boatyard practice. As host of Boatyard Stage and Ask A Shipwright, you can also see boats “on the hard,” with work under way, and perhaps even see a travel lift operate. Check the printed schedule or the white board next to the bleachers.

Wooden Boat Question? ‘Ask a Shipwright’ In a town chock full of working shipwrights, boatwrights, ship’s carpenters and people who know the intimate differences, we are proud to give the stage to our diversely talented community. All day, every day of the Festival, you can stop at one of three venues to “Ask a Ship-

Check Out the Sail Loft Shops The historic military armory building, fondly referred to as the “Sail Loft” since Carol Hasse started a sailmaking business there 30 plus years ago, is now home to five thriving marine trades businesses. Port Townsend Sails, Hasse & Co. is upstairs. Downstairs you’ll find Brion Toss Yacht Riggers (author of Rigger’s Apprentice); Point Hudson Boat Shop, also the home of Pocock Cedar Speeders, the legendary single red cedar rowing shells; PT Canvas; and Hudson Point Dive. Visit the working Sail Loft businesses all year and anytime Friday during the Festival. On Saturday and Sunday, the Loft is open for presentations upstairs.

Locations for Ask a Shipwright include: PTMTA Tent near the Main Gate, at the Woodworking Stage and at the Boatyard Stage (near travel lift). There’s a load of talent, heaps of generosity and tons of humor that keep the best of wooden boat culture thriving in this town.

Special Presentations at Marina Room Located in the long white building across the marina opposite the Main Gate, the Marina Room is a venue for lecture and PowerPoint presentations. It’s one of the venues listed in our Festival Program schedule. Enter the Marina Room by walking up the harbor side stairs near Shanghai restaurant, and turn left. Big thanks to Fisheries Supply for sponsorship again this year.

Edensaw Woodworking Stage at the Point Sponsored annually by lifetime WBF members and longtime FSC specialists Edensaw Woods of Port Townsend, the Woodworking Stage is the center of an entire area of wooden boatbuilders, tool demos, schools and woodworking demonstrations. Along with sponsor System Three Coatings based in Seattle and Chesapeake Light Craft from Annapolis there’s a full array of

expertise to round out the handson tool and boatbuilding “at the Point.” Watch shipwrights and craftspeople in action, caulking, steam bending, carving and more. Demonstrations all-day with excellent views of the shipping lanes and regattas. Bleachers and the Wee Nip Beach Bar (open Saturday and Sunday noon-5 pm) make it a great spot to hang out.

Kid Stuff: Messing About with Boats Dreams are launched and lives set sail as children of all ages experience the joy and magic of wooden boats. Young and old, boys and girls, firsttime boatbuilders, adventurous sailors, playful pirates and energetic artists will all find plenty to do. Some programs have been here for decades and others are brand new – an outgrowth of expanding programs for youth at the Northwest Maritime Center & Wooden Boat Foundation.

Kids’ Boatbuilding In our Old Boat Shop, just inside the Main Gate, “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, you forget the noise of hammering, the worries of work. Life slows down while you help hold a nail and share the joy of building a boat with young and old. We’re well into the third generation of “kids” in Kids’ Boatbuilding and it’s because of dedicated people who share their time and talent year after year. This year, say special thanks to Carl’s Building Supply, Westport Shipyard and Edensaw Woods for making magic happen with such beautiful hulls. All kids welcome. Donations kindly appreciated. These funds support youth programs and scholarships.

Fish Printing with PT Marine Science Center No one gets you closer to fish and the underwater side of the ocean than the Port Townsend Marine Science Center. Located just a mile down the beach from Point Hudson in Fort Worden State Park, its natural history exhibits, touch tanks and programs teach us all about the ocean and its life. PTMSC is open daily 11-5. Check the tides and ask about the Orca Project! At the Festival on Saturday (10-4) and Sunday (10-1), create

your own T-shirt art with their staff while learning about fish. Bring your own T-shirt, customize your Festival T-shirt from the Wooden Boat Chandlery or buy a T at the PTMSC tent near North Star Stage.

12th annual North Star Stage Pull up a hay bale and enjoy the 12th annual North Star Stage children’s theater production. The play is created and directed by Port Townsend Children’s Theater and Chameleon Theater artistic director Joey Pipia. North Star Stage was started by pirate playwright Valerie Hahn more than a decade ago and has inspired many young actors and directors. This year’s play, Captain Cloud V in the series, is “Captain Kidd: A Winner-Take-All Fight to the Finish.” Would-be buccaneers of all ages are invited. Come in costume and share the treasure! Saturday at 11 and 3 & Sunday at 1.

The Merry Band of Book Pirates Come hear tales and songs of the sea! Port Townsend teacher and musician Bruce Cowan leads this talented troupe of teachers, writers, librarians, maritime tradespeople and children as they spin yarns, read tales and sing a shanty or two. Saturday 1-3, Sunday 10-11:30 at North Star Stage.

Captain Pirate’s Treasure Hunt At high noon on Sunday, young pirates should “shake a reef” and 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! Noon-1 Sunday.

Voluntary Eelgrass Protection Zone

WELCOME BOATERS! Historic buildings are just one precious resource in our seaport town – below the waters of Port Townsend Bay are acres of eelgrass beds. Eelgrass reduces shoreline erosion and provides critical habitat for salmon, crabs and more. It’s a risky place to anchor – loose sediments provide poor anchor holding and the fragile plants are easily damaged and uprooted. The Voluntary Eelgrass Protection Zone is identiﬁed by seasonal marker buoys most of the year, but when buoys are not in place, please anchor seaward of Port Townsend’s many docks and wharfs. Anchor Out for Safety & Salmon!

Festival Music & Songs of the Sea From tall-ship shanties to rock ’n’ roll, from acoustic guitar to Cajun swing, the Festival Main Stage continues our tradition of offering live music. Stop and experience an important reason why the festival treasures its reputation as the Woodstock of Wooden Boats! Music starts daily around noon in the big tent next to the historic Cupola House. Have an ice cold, award-winning Port Townsend Brewing Co. beer on tap and get right next to the stage. Bring your kids and dance on the “all family” side of the tent. Either way, enjoy the music free all day. Check the website woodenboat.org/activities for links to all the musicians and check the Festival Program schedule center spread for performance times. Three full days of fantastic festival favorites and two evenings to dance, dance, dance – with no cover charge. Check in often while strolling the harbor. Meet old and new friends and take time to buy a beer for your shipwright, a wooden boat owner or Neville Pearsall, our soundman extraordinaire. Music Stage is sponsored in part by Platt Irwin Law Firm, the largest and oldest law firm on the Olympic Peninsula and longtime supporters of the Wooden Boat Festival.

Folk and bluegrass artists Southbound, the always fun and frolicking Tania Opland & Mike Freeman and the Whateverly Brothers make the transition from maritime music extravaganza to Saturday night’s dance band, featuring longtime festival favorites the Delta Rays with a one-of-a-kind blend of dance music from zydeco and R&B to fiddle tunes and Gypsy swing. Sunday favorites Sunday features repeats of many Festival favorites including Baila Dworsky and Lost at Sea, Pint & Dale, Tom Lewis, the Cutters and a finale performance by Water Street Trolley.

Highlights

Continued from 7

Continued from 14

The project took waterfront property that had been a commercial petroleum product bulk storage plant, cleaned up the brownﬁeld, and converted it into something special. Locals and visitors are discovering that the Commons with the decorative Compass Rose and the general water-side area of the NWMC that includes the port-owned jetty are great places for a walk, a talk, a brownbag lunch break, etc. “What I hear, again and again this summer,” Cronkhite said, “is someone standing there talking on the cell phone, saying, ‘I’m in the Maritime Center. This place is incredible.’” Federal, state, county and city government money, along with donations, built the Maritime Center. About 40 percent of the NWMC site is dedicated public space, 24/7, and it includes public restrooms. The City of Port Townsend paid $1 million to secure public access in perpetuity to 15,745 square feet of NWMC property. The $1 million from the City of Port Townsend “gave us the conﬁdence to go forward with

both buildings. We would not be done by now or be open by now without the city’s participation,” King said, because the NWMC board was committed to not have a huge ﬁnancial debt when trying to start operations. King is also a City Council member. The city’s agreement acknowledges the economic factor the NWMC can become in terms of attracting people who use other local services and businesses. Port Townsend is a busy place in July, August and September in terms of festivals, special events and general summertime visitors. (Book your overnight accommodations this year for Wooden Boat Festival next year). What the local economy needs is more business activity the other nine months. “The Northwest Maritime Center is an economic engine for tourism, and the critical byproduct is that young people have the opportunity to get on the water and to live it, cherish it and to protect it, and maybe think being a sailmaker or a rigger or a boatbuilder is something they would enjoy in their own life,” Hasse said. “The opportunity to

work with one’s hands can be a real satisfying thing.” See, it comes back to the water. The Maritime Center is strategically located along historic waterfront, packed with opportunity and fueled by the energy of dedicated volunteers carrying out the Port Townsend tradition of sharing. That’s the focus of NWMC and WBF board and staff: “A longboat is a very powerful metaphor for life,” Hasse said. “It really does take everyone working together to get the boat where you want it to go.”

‘Boat-ocol’

What to do before and after coming aboard First, ask: “Permission to come aboard?” All the wooden boat owners at the Festival will answer “Yes, welcome aboard,” but there may be some specifics they’ll ask you to abide. Keep in mind that small boats can be tippy and larger boats may be the owner’s full-time home. After confirming permission to board, listen carefully to their instructions about where to board and what to grip. You may be asked to remove your shoes; a few workboats may tell you to leave them on! Please respect their privacy if some parts of the boat are closed to public access.

How to move around on a boat Take the owner’s advice about where to board and what to grip. The “shrouds” amidships are often the safest handhold and “stanchions” are often not. Also, keep in mind that your weight affects the stability of the boat for yourself and others. Step lightly and toward the center of the boat where you can. Lastly, make sure your shoes, jeans, belts and rings won’t leave scratches or marks on the decks, rails and seating areas. It is common courtesy to remove your street shoes when going aboard a vessel. If in doubt, ask the owner. Remember, when boarding a

20 • 2010 Wooden Boat FestivaL

boat, you assume full responsibility for your own safety. If you, or anyone else, falls into the water or gets hurt while on the docks or boats, please contact Festival Staff (wearing brown shirts this year) immediately. Bringing people & wooden boats together We encourage you to exchange contact information with boat owners of vessels you particularly like or contact the Wooden Boat Festival anytime year around to track down boats from prior years. We bring people and wooden boats together. Call 360-385-3628, ext. 106.

We love books. Remember the great WBF collection at Cupola House? Well now it’s in the Port Townsend Library circulating collection thanks to H.W. McCurdy and PT librarian Carol Baker. Visit the new expanded library on second ﬂoor in the NWMC yellow building and meet authors at the maritime author tent (sponsored by the Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader) just inside Main Gate. There’s also a great selection of books year round at the Wooden Boat Chandlery (yellow building).

Compass Rose: True North, True Supporters From the upper decks or standing in the middle take a bearing on True North at the Compass Rose. This public art represents some of contributors

to the NWMC’s capital fundraising campaign. Of the 1,500 pavers, 745 are from Port Townsend, 39 from Port Hadlock, 38 from Port Ludlow, 25 from Port Angeles, and 20 from Sequim. There are 117 from Seattle and 43 from California. A few are friends from Canada and Denmark. You can ﬁnd your paver on our website, nwmaritime.org.

Memorial Bell Tolls Sunday Morning We continue the tradition of honoring mariners who’ve passed over the bar this past year. Meet at 10 am Sunday at the NWMC Compass Rose next to the beach. Eight bells, a moment of silence, a few words and the scattering of a handful of rose petals are planned. The Bell Toll is a nautical, non-religious ceremony. Sea Scout Falcon Troop and Captain Ted Pike read the names. Everyone welcome. This is public space open all year and no Festival ticket gate must be crossed to attend this tribute.

We Love Wooden Boats . . .

Wooden Boat Chandlery Celebrates Grand 1st Festival Opening Ahoy sailors, shipwrights, cruisers, book lovers and wooden boaters! Ahoy parents, partners, travelers and friends visiting for the first time! With four times the space the Chandlery now has more quality maritime and wooden boat products, gifts and books than ever. From high quality tools, to highly polished bronze hardware and fittings; polyester rope with a traditional look; marine paint & varnish; boat plans; navigational instruments; chart and tide books; cruising logs; galley cookbooks; instructional guides and maritime novels to Tufnol blocks (from Netherlands) just like the ones you used on boats in your school days. During the Festival, see a miniature fleet of historic boat models from Sail Classics on display in the store, a “Model Boat Marina.” Regional boats like Adventuress are among the fleet. Chandlery (at Main Gate in yellow building) is one of three places you can buy Festival T-shirts during the weekend and is the headquarters for a nice variety of other WBF or NWMC jackets, vest and hats. You can also buy that pirate gear you’ve always wanted to have onboard, the things your kids and grandkids love! Port townsend & Jefferson County Leader

Guide to 34th Festival Boats 10’ Wherry 2009

Allegra 1951

Built at Silva Bay Shipyard School Gabriola Island, B.C. Pete Culler comments “the design follows closely the ships’ yawls of small size. The boat is burdensome, yet a good sailer, using the traditional sprit rig with good area & there is a reef. These little boats are powerful for their size. The wherry keel was used to provide a good landing for the centerboard well & to allow the boat to sit upright on the beach.” Vancouver, BC.

Able (Schooley) 1963 Built by McGruer Yacht Builders in Clynder, Scotland, Able is sloop-rigged with a sail area of 400 sq. ft. She spent her first 15 years on the Scottish coast near Oban. In 1978 she sailed to British Columbia on her own bottom, via the Panama Canal & Hawaii. We purchased her in 2006 & renamed her Able of Friday Harbor. Friday Harbor, Wash.

Absolute 1970 Trumpys were built in Annapolis Maryland & 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 “House” boat design (not to be confused with what we in the Northwest consider a “houseboat.”)

Adventuress 1913 In 1913, schooner Adventuress sailed from Maine to the Bering Sea via the Straits of Magellan. She then served the San Francisco Bar Pilots until 1952, waiting in the rough weather outside the Golden Gate. Since 1989, Sound Experience has provided hands-on education about the region’s urgent environmental issues aboard Adventuress, now a National Historic Landmark. We believe that people will protect what they learn to value. Port Townsend, Wash.

Aja 1974 Aja, a William Atkin schooner design, was built in N. Vancouver by Jack Fisher & launched as Auk. Constructed of cedar on white oak frames & covered with fiberglass, she has recently been restored by shipwright Tony Grove who replaced the deck with marine grade ply glassed with epoxy, added Honduran mahogany brightwork, new bronze deck fittings & made the taffrail carving. Lazy jacks & other design aspects of her sail plan make her a pleasure to handle. Gabriola Island, BC.

Alcyone 1956 Built by Seattle shipwright Frank Prothero for his own use, he eventually sold her to the Hankes, who owned her for 22 years, selling her to Sugar Flanagan & Leslie McNish in 1987. In the 23 years the Flanagan family has owned her, she’s done five offshore passages, including Ireland & New Zealand. She does six-passenger charters with adults or families, & youth sail training. Port Townsend, Wash.

Arroyo 1938

Built as a yacht by Be n s e n Br o t h er s , Vancouver, BC, the Allegra has sailed through the Panama Canal & presently serves as home, art gallery & studio. The Allegra sails to southeast Alaska every summer, where her owner practices wood carving & other art work. Bellingham, Wash.

Aloha 1923 Aloha is a Universal Rule R boat built in San Diego as the flagship for George Gay, Commodore of San Diego Yacht Club. She is being restored to original specifications. The frames, deck & interior furnishings are all new. We intend to race Aloha against Pirate (Seattle) & Lady Van (Vancouver) for the Alexandra Cup, which was last competed for a century ago. Sidney, BC.

Ama Natura 2008 Ama Natura is a new design green motorsailer for Inside Passage & Alaskan waters. Her inception came during the 2005 Wooden Boat Festival; NWSWB needed a large boat project & we were trying to find a bigger/better vessel for the Inside Passage. Power is 100% biodiesel in a 47hp Klassen-Mitsibishi engine with a gaff ketch rig. Her galley stove & salon fireplace both run on B100. The boat’s name is a blending of east & west & means “Mother Nature” or “She loves nature” depending on how one interprets “Ama.” Portland, Ore.

Ancestor V 1971 A classic character 40’ Caribbean topsail gaff cutter, offering an “old time” sailing experience. Built by hand (no power tools) of tropical hardwoods in Windward Carricou, & registered in St. Georges Granada in 1971. Modified in BC in the early 80’s & re in Victoria BC in the For Sale registered 1990’s. Entered in the Swiftsure International Yacht race twice. Regular maintenance & haulouts. Sooke, BC.

Araminta 1974 Designed by renowned naval architect L.F. Herreshoff, she was built in New Zealand’s Bay of Islands in 1974, then sailed to San Francisco on her own bottom. Builder S.J. Ashby used Kauri, spotted gum & teak. She has an auxiliary Volvo MDGA engine. Seattle, Wash.

Arroyo was built in 1938 by Blanchard Boat Company. She won the 1949 Swiftsure Race. Arroyo underwent a major restoration effort in Port Townsend & re-launched in 1998. Construction is cedar planking on oak frames with ¾” plywood decking on mahogany beams. Mast & boom are spruce with both teak & mahogany brightwork. The deck is fiberglass-coated with silica sand. Seattle, Wash.

Aura 1948 Aura is the 5th Blanchard 33 built. She was designed by William Garden in 1946; Blanchard Boat Co. built 9 sister ships 6 months apart in the late 40’s. Aura has been based in Bellingham since 1977. Recent work includes new planks, & sistered lower frames & floor timbers installed along the keel, in the maststep area, & aft to the motor mounts. Deer Harbor, Wash.

Avenger 2 1965 Avenger is a Sparkman Stevens design built in New Zealand in 1965 of cold-molded Kuari wood. She was sailed up to Vancouver as new & had a few off-shore adventures & competitive races during the 70’s & 80s. We still race her in local long distance events as well as classic boat races. She won the Swiftsure (Juan de Fuca race) in 1971. We also had line honors at the Victoria boat show in 2008. I’ve lived aboard with my dog Okie for 6 years now. Avenger has a wood air-tight stove to keep us comfortable on the West coast winter nights. Sidney, BC.

Azure 1954 Motor-sailor Azure was built by & for the owner of Palmer Johnson in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. Designed by Gilbert Dunham, she is a one-off classic with mahogany planking on oak frames with teak decks. She is powered by twin Detroit 4-53’s & carries a small stabilizing main & jib. Cody, Wyo.

Sat. & Sun., Sept. 11 & 12, 11am-3pm

Blue Water 2009 I am a student of Naval Architecture & Yacht Design with a passion for wooden boats. This is the first hull built from this specific design. Once completed & put through hundreds of hours of sea trials in all types of weather, I am confident to say this is a sea worthy vessel. I am constantly working on new designs but have plans to produce at least 10 more hulls of this type. Tahoma, Calif.

Bonnie Doon 1964 FOR SALE Ordered by an Edmonds dentist, she was built by Calkins Craft at the Devil’s Lake Marina. She was ordered with the deluxe (long) For Sale cabin & a P&H diesel & built with African mahogany with the hull & decks fiberglassed. The owner visited the factory during construction & made changes such as paint color. The boat was mainly used at Ilwaco several months per year. In 1973, the P&H diesel was replaced with a 225 Chrysler gas engine that is still in use & running strong. When I purchased her in 1982, George Calkins remembered the boat & owner. He also remembered the changes & the customer’s expectation that painting the inside of the cabin several shades of blue would be without charge. George in his unflappable manner reflected that it was a normal assumption for dentists & engineers. The Bonnie Doon was used for commercial shrimping, sport fishing & cruising until 1992. An extensive overhaul was begun in 1999 & was completed in 2007. She’s now back in use for sport fishing & cruising out of Sequim Bay. Sequim, Wash.

Boondock 2007 Boondock is a locally designed & constructed interpretation of a Polynesian voyaging catamaran. She features a ketch rig, large open bridge deck, secure central cockpit, 6 watertight compartments & private accommodations for a family of 4. Boondock is the second set of hulls launched from the designs of ‘Beau’ Beaubien. She was constructed by a local cabinetmaker & has been finished and rigged by local shipwrights & riggers. Bainbridge Island, Wash.

After 147 phone calls to Beetle Inc., she is here to sail again! Portland, Ore.

Candlefish 16 Kit 2009 She’s a Candlefish 16, easy to build kitboat designed by Sam Devlin & crafted by Emerald Marine Carpentry. She’s a husky utility skiff capable of 20 knots with just a 20hp outboard. The kit is engineered for easy Stitch & Glue assembly. The hull goes together quickly, & the fit & finish is up to you. A Candlefish hull can be assembled in about 12 hours of labor with 1-2 people. Seams are joined & sealed with fiberglass tape & the hull is sheathed in 6 oz. fiberglass cloth. Sanding, filleting & finishing will take 25-50 hours of work depending on your standards. Anacortes, Wash.

Carlotta 1899 The venerable Bristol Channel pilot cutter Carlotta has been owned & sailed by pilots, princesses, lords, criminals, Churchill’s cousin, viscounts, an illegitimate line of the royal family & one-eyed Canadians. The British Army Training Manual was written onboard. Her history includes a daring escape in World War II, hurricane winds that caused her mast trucks to nearly hit the water, a porpoise swimming across her foredeck in a Scottish gale, being dropped four feet from a travel lift, towed around Texada Island by a rowboat, & sailing engineless for the past 40 years. After an extensive five-year refit she is sailing again. Lund, BC.

Carol M 1926 She’s a 56’ house-forward halibut boat built by O.E. Moberg in Seattle. She spent most of her life fishing the waters of the Gulf of Alaska. Although she experienced a fire in her recent past, her previous & current owners have lovingly restored her with extensive help from the awesome crew at the Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-Op. She has spent 2009-10 fishing for Dungeness crab & Albacore tuna & will be fishing for halibut & black cod. She’ll be moored at City Dock, where Mike & Di are selling Albacore tuna. She trolls for Albacore using jigs & poles. She is also a member of the Western Fishboat Owners Association & is certified by the Marine Stewardship Council for sustainable fishing practices. Tukwila, Wash.

Catspaw Dinghy 2002 This classic catspaw dinghy designed by Joel White is based on the Herreshoff Dinghy. This boat has only been used a few hours & is maintained annually by the owner/builder. It is a centerboard sprit rigged sailboat & also an excellent rowing boat. The hull is carvel planked with western red cedar over oak For Sale frames. The seats & transom are varnished mahogany & floorboards are varnished western red cedar. Fox Island, Wash.

Caveat 1963 Built at Nottingham & Co. in Seattle, she’s T-Bird No. 243. In April 1963, Port Townsend’s Jim Daubenberger Sr., Daubie Jr. & Dr. Bill Scheyer departed her Seattle mooring to deliver her to Port Townsend. The delivery crew quickly learned that the “flooding button” is critical on a Seagull motor. Seven hours later, they arrived in PT, where she became a favorite of local sailing families. In 1969, Glenn sold Caveat & she left Port Townsend. In 2005, Caveat – renamed Island Passage – was donated back to WBF. Rechristened at the 2008 festival with her refurbished original nameboard, Caveat now serves as one of two T-birds used for WBF adult Learn to Sail programs. Port Townsend, Wash.

Ceridwen 1994 John Magner & his son Kevin lofted Ceridwen in fall 1982; owners Matt & Stephanie McCleary pitched in to pour the lead keel, steam-bend the oak frames & attach the cabin sides. The owners planked 95% of the boat & installed the tanks, plumbing & electrical systems. Launched in 1994, she made her maiden voyage in August 1996 from Port Angeles to Port Hadlock. Port Hadlock, Wash.

Cheechako 1935 Cheechako, Ed Monk Sr.’s first commissioned sailboat design, was built for a Seattle dentist named Dr. Good, who served rural Alaskan communities & cruised between Seattle, Alaska & Hawaii with his family from the 1930s to the 60s. Since 2009, 5 friends have been restoring the ketch, planning to launch in July, 2010, with the goal of sailing around the world doing humanitarian work & adventure. The boat is truly overbuilt in every sense & the rig is uniquely marked by its upside-down main trysail & large yardarm with squaresail on the main mast. Seattle, Wash.

Chesuki 1986 David built this boat & then single-handed it through California and Mexico. We now sail in the San Juans & brought her up to Desolation Sound. He mainly plays at the festival & races her in the festival small boat races. Renton, Wash.

Contessa 1978 Built in 1977 & launched in 1978, she is a stretched version of a George Stadel Jr. 36’ design with mahogany planking & oak keel & frames. Her original owner kept her in New York, with her second owner moving her to Buzzards Bay, Maine. I bought her there & trucked her to Everett in June 2005. Lake Stevens, Wash.

Coolidge Daysailer 2008 Designed in 1922 by L.H. For Sale Coolidge of Seattle for Falcon Joslin for use at his summer place at Port Madison on Bainbridge Island. She carries 128 sq. ft. of sail & draws only one foot with the centerboard up. Carvel planking is of western red cedar; oak frames & keel; thwarts are of Douglas fir. Transom is Honduras mahogany; bronze fastened; canvas deck. Port Hadlock, Wash.

Coot 2010 I worked on this Sam Devlin-designed Godzilla 25 harbor tug for 3½ years in a leaky tent in my backyard. By making a few major (unauthorized) changes to the design, I was able to add a double-sized bed, a galley, & a full-sized head. Other changes added to onboard safety & ease of movement, with my wife’s mobility limitations in mind. The heated cabin with the 9 large windows, 2 hatches & 4 portholes make it bright & comfortable on rainy wet days. We can use it year-around & it has just enough amenities for a week vacation to the islands or an impromptu overnight trip to the other end of the lake. Bothell, Wash,

Daisy 2005 The Daisy plans were first introduced in WoodenBoat 126 & For Sale 127. This 12’ dory skiff is great to row has partial sailing rig & features a vintage 60’s Aero marine air-cooled outboard. Built with mahogany thwarts, sides, transom on oak frames. Stainless screws & 3M 5200 hold her together. She was built by two award-winning ACBS members. Oak Harbor, Wash.

Dance Me 2007 I’m a 55-year-old silver-haired lady who decided to learn how to sail. I found Dance Me at Sam Devlin’s boatyard. She is one of Devlin’s Nancy’s China designs. With the help of many friends, I brought my boat home. We are a familiar sight on Port Ludlow Bay. Port Ludlow, Wash.

Escale 1959 Escale was the last custom yacht built by the South Coast Company (builder of 57’ mine sweepers for the U.S. Navy) & was built for the Commodore of the Newport Harbor Yacht Club. We acquired full drawings of Escale from the Mystic Seaport Museum. Arlington, Wash.

Dave Lobb of Northwest Classic boats. She’s powered by her rebuilt original Graymarine Fireball 6 cylinder 140hp engine. Purchased by her current owner in 2000 & refinished & reupholstered in 2006, she’s remained bright & shiny due to inside storage, tender care & only occasional use on the Columbia River at Richland where she’s been greatly admired. Richland, Wash.

Dirigo II 1939 The Dirigo II is a Gaff Rigged Topsail Alden Schooner built at the Goudy & Stevens Boat Yard, East Boothbay, Maine. Her predecessor was sunk by a German torpedo, causing her owner to leave her in the yard, not quite completed, until 1946, so as to avoid wartime conscription & a possible similar fate. She was designed for circumnavigation, through any ocean & any weather, & undertook her first such voyage in 1953. She has been in numerous races over the years & recently had her second major refit, led by her current owner & his 2 children who lived onboard, working 12 hours every day for 3 months. She is now available for charter. Friday Harbor, Wash.

Dorjun 1905 Built for the U.S. Lifesaving Service, her design & hull shape are similar to the lifeboats used in Shackleton’s epic voyage. In 1937 she sailed through the Straits of Magellan on a trip documented in National Geographic. She sank in the 1946 Portland flood & spent several years on the mud before being rescued and stored. In 1992 Dorjun was brought to Port Townsend for a loving restoration & relaunched at the 1992 festival. She’s been used for WBF programs since, & after some additional recent work, she’s ready for her next hundred years. Port Townsend, Wash.

Duck 2010 Newly built Puddle Duck Racer (pdracer.com) has a 59 sq. ft. sail with electric trolling motor auxiliary. I have a deck tent to sleep in when on the road, pulling Duck behind my 1992 Geo Metro Convertible! Onoway, Alberta.

Egret 1974 Egret is a 50’ Stephens from the famous Stockton yard & is fully traditional except her galley in the aft salon & a walk-thru shower between the two aft heads. Honduran mahogany was used to match the factory decor. She was built for So Cal & Mexican waters, which explains her painted & stainless exterior. She cruises comfortably at 12 knots, has stabilizers for offshore cruising, & uses 8.5 gal/hr on both engines at cruise. Spokane, Wash.

Elizabeth Anne 1961 Thompson Bros. Offshore Cabin Cruiser Model 1200. I have owned her for 20 years. Upon purchase in 1990, I took her apart to repair the results of weather & resultant rot. She was originally set up for outboard power, but someone had installed a WestBend Sharkomatic, which I repowered with a 1973 Datsun 1600 Pickup engine in 1991. We did a major refit in 2009 & this year are spending as much time as possible on the water. Langley, Wash.

Frank Edmund 1984 San Diego County was captivated by the story of shipwright Leland Parsons & his wife Cecily & the 66-foot gaff-rigged schooner they spent 29 years building. When the Frank Edmund was hauled from Poway to Mission Bay launching, people lined the streets or followed the progress on television. Hull & rigging are copies of Gloucester fishing schooners from the late 1700s & early 1800s. A through section of port to starboard would resemble a wine glass shape with ample tumble home. The Frank Edmund won the 2006 Kohler Kraft’s Wooden Boat Festival’s “People’s Choice” award. Half Moon Bay, Calif.

Festival Boats Continued from 36

Godzilli 2005 Sam Devlin built this whimsical little design for one of his regular customers who was looking for a small boat to use for doing a little log/stump salvage. He also wanted a platform that allowed him to follow his passion of bird-watching on the salt flats. During the building process on hull No. 1, Sam was so taken with the design that he decided to build a sister ship for roughly the same purposes. Godzilli was named after her larger sister tug built 5 years ago & working in the Los Angeles harbor basin. The smaller sister Godzilli has a single bunk forward, full headroom in the pilothouse, a rugged & strong tow bitt & a Yamaha Hi-Thrust 25hp outboard in a well. She is built with Devlin’s Stitch & Glue method & all woods used in her construction were bought from Edensaw Woods in Port Townsend. Olympia, Wash.

Grace 2010 Grace is adapted from Zimmer’s launch design. She is powered with a 6hp electric motor providing a maximum speed of 6.2 kts. At 4.5 kts she can travel over 40 nautical miles. Future plans call for a rigid canopy with windows all around to make her an all-weather boat. Allyn, Wash.

Grace B 1985 Built in Port Townsend by Ernie Baird, her lines & offsets are given in Howard Chappelle’s American Small Sailing Craft. Chapelle took the lines off an existing half model around 1930. He believed the first boats made from the model were built & sailed in Casco Bay Maine around 1900. He named the model for its place of construction (Crotch Island) & its hull shape (pinky – a corruption of a Dutch term for a double ended boat). She’s rigged as a cat-ketch with spritsails. Grace has cruised from Port Townsend to Seattle, Barkley Sound, the San Juans, Gulf Islands & into the Strait of Georgia as far as Lesquite Island. She once made it from Beecher Bay on the south side of Vancouver Island to Point Wilson (a distance of 40 miles) in 5 hours. Nordland, Wash.

Grail 1986 Built in PT in 1986 by graduates of the NW School of Wooden Boatbuilding, she was sailed to the Galapagos by her original owners. The Smith family are her fourth owners; she’s been in the family since Christmas 2005. Vashon, Wash.

Gratitude 1969 A 50’ motor yacht designed by Edwin Monk Sr. & built by the Frank Taylor Boatyards for Mr. & Mrs. R.H. Jones. She was sold in 1982 to John & Doris Clark of Bellevue WA., who renamed her C-Lark. In 1996, third owners George & Marilyn Dumins renamed her Green Eyes because everyone in the family had green eyes. In 2008, new owner Chris Gower-Rees named her Gratitude in honor of all the good fortune that continuously comes into his life. She is now in a process of second-level restoration. Victoria, BC.

Grebe 1965 A Trojan Express cruiser built in 1965 by Amish craftsmen in Lancaster Penn., her hull is mahogany planking & plywood on sawn white oak frames. In 2006 we installed a rack on her hard top, allowing us to carry our kayaks to the San Juans & use Grebe as a mothership while we enjoy paddling. Seattle, Wash.

Grilse 1982 Bill Garden designed her as a camp tender. She was built in Bowser, BC, & it spent most of her life there. I bought her from her second owner in Portland in 2005. Although she has a displacement hull, with a V8 engine she can do 32 kts. Victoria, BC.

Halcyon 1948 Designed by William Garden, she was a burnedout shell when Friday Harbor shipwright Sam Fry began a complete restoration that would ultimately take 12 years. For Sale Over the former fish hold, a new aft deckhouse holds a modern galley; the wheelhouse looks original but has been totally rebuilt. Halcyon was one of several troller conversions featured in WoodenBoat 169. Friday Harbor, Wash.

Halcyon Days 1986 Halcyon Days was built in Lake For Sale Oswego, Ore., & Olympia was her homeport when we bought her in 2001. After 6 years exploring South Sound & the San Juan & Gulf Islands we hauled her out for renovation & upgrades at the Shipwright’s Co-op in Port Townsend, including some replanking, mast repairs, mechanical reworking, upgrades & paint, followed by 4 months & 3,436 nautical miles up & down the Inland Passage to Alaska. Halcyon Days performed flawlessly. Lacey, Wash.

Hama 1941 In 1948 this Peterson designed & built cruiser went out to the end of the Aleutians. For the last 10 years Hama has been a July feature at Hot Springs Cove, BC. Ruston, Wash.

Hvalsoe 16 2001

Jaunty 2010

The Hvalsoe 16 is one in a series of combination rowing & sailing craft from Seattle area builder & designer Eric Hvalsoe. The 16 carries an 85 sq. ft. spritsail & is typically built cedar on oak in traditional lapstrake fashion. Shoreline, Wash.

Jaunty is the result of being past my easy sailing days & wanting to enjoy a slow speed, economical, roomy, & trailerable boat. From the beginning, I envisioned a spacious interior from which foredeck work could be done & the basic comforts of home could be achieved. McMinnville, Ore.

Integrity 1992 Integrity is a twin-diesel 35-ft. fantail motor yacht designed & built by Sam Devlin of Devlin Designing Boat Builders. Integrity is the image of a traditional fantail cruising yacht with modern construction & accommodations; the perfect marriage of classic design & modern technology. Her two Yanmar 3GMF 27hp engines drive her at 8 knots with a cruising range of 680 nautical miles. Olympia, Wash.

Irene 1966 As hull No. 103, Irene was the last Concordia yawl built by Abeking & Rasmussen for the Concordia Co. in Padanaram, Mass. When the great hurricane of 1938 smashed many boats in the Padanaram harbor, one victim hired Concordia to design & build a rugged day sailer to replace his loss. What began as design No. 14, just another Concordia boat became the classic Concordia yawl, one of the most successful & long-lived stock racers & cruisers ever built. Bellingham, Wash.

Iris (Arnett) 1979 I built this Chapelle Peapod in 1979 in Kittery, Maine, & brought her on a trailer to the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival that year. She’s planked with northern white cedar with white oak frames, with apple knees & other components of white pine, cherry, ash, African & Honduras mahogany, & elm. The original was built around 1886, a working boat for lobstermen when sailing qualities were desired. Olympia, Wash.

Irolita 1953

Happy Talk 1962 Happy Talk was Ketteburg 50 hull No. 6; she was christened in 1962. For more than 35 years, the Burnett Family sailed her in Southern California. Charlie DeWeese purchased her in August 2007 & began a full restoration both inside & out. Capt. DeWeese spent the month of March 2008 sailing her north to Lummi Island, where she now resides. Lummi Island, Wash.

Hesitation II 1959 Originally built for Hilton Hotel & sailed on the Great Lakes & then in Miami, Hesitation II (formerly Marty H.) went to Canada in ‘70 & on to Seattle in ’74, & then sat unattended for 2 years until we bought her & started an extensive refurbishing (rewiring, new fuel tanks & generator, etc.). She is a flush deck with 3 staterooms, 3 heads, salon & galley. We raised our 3 children on her & now it’s the grandkids’ turn. Shoreline, Wash.

Hob Nob 1958 An Ed Monk Sr. design, she was built in Tacoma by Marine View Boat Works. The hull is built batten-seam & planked with mahogany on mahogany frames. The Detroit 3-53-N diesel engine has a 900-mile range. Port Townsend, Wash.

Hope 1950 This Swampscott Dory was built by John Gardner’s plans from about 1950, as published in the National Fisherman. It was found in a barn in total disrepair. The transom, bottom, false stem, all frames & rib bands have been replaced. Port Townsend, Wash.

Irolita is a Loki-class yawl. Largely rehabilitated to her original condition by Jensen Motorboat Company, Seattle, she is one of at least 8 built from plans developed by Olin Stephens of Spartkman & Stephens, NYC, for Dr. Gifford M. Pinchot, son of Gifford Pinchot who founded the U.S. Forest Service under President Theodore Roosevelt. Her hull has been grooved & splined & is painted jade green with a sunflower yellow bootstripe. Tacoma, Wash.

Island Runner 1929 Island Runner was completed in April 1929 & transported to Wilmington, Calif. Current owners Doug & Rayma Mery have been her caretakers for the last 15 years. They’ve improved her accommodations & modernized her systems, turning Island Runner into a reliable & comfortable cruiser. She’s been berthed in PT since 1991, & the Merys take months on end enjoying Northwest waters. Port Townsend, Wash.

Jack Tarr 2003 She’s a complete rebuild & renovation of a Ralph Winslow sloop originally launched in 1969. Her original ferrous fastenings had deteriorated significantly. We replaced all fastenings with bronze, including the keel bolts. The cabin was reconfigured with a pilot house, & 2 redundant steering systems were installed. Many frames were replaced & all planking is new with full length mahogany & cherry planks. Seams are splined with Western red cedar. The spars are about 20 years old, & were built by Red Nimphius. A bowsprit was added as well as a Yankee with a furling gear. The sloop has not become a double headsail cutter. Jack Tarr was re-launched in 2003. Kewaunee, Wis.

Jean Alden 2000 Modeled on the traditional Cape Cod catboat, I scaled-up Phil Bolger’s Bob Cat design, added a small cabin, & copied the rig from a Crosby catboat. She was built in my garage & driveway 1997-2000. One Christmas vacation I used a large conference room at my job as a sail loft. The result is a sweet sailing pocket cruiser that has brought our family much joy & satisfaction. Palo Alto, Calif.

Katherine Jane 1952

Lady Van 1928

Built as a pleasure yacht in 1952, she was originally christened Beagle, as her owners intended to sail her from California to the Galapagos, replicating Darwin’s voyage. Although she has not yet made that trip, she spent many years as a private charter yacht in Southeast Alaska & has seen much of Puget Sound & the San Juan Islands. After a complete refit in 2002, she is currently available as either a bareboat or crewed charter. Seattle, Wash.

Katie Ford 1946 Designed by Heine Dole & built at Astoria Marine, her planking & beams are Alaska yellow cedar with steel floors & knees. Her decks & sole are teak. Interior is Honduras mahogany & knotty white pine; spars are Sitka spruce. In 1973, we brought her to Victoria. She’s sailed from Astoria to Alaska & around Vancouver Island. A major 2001 refit by Bent Jespersen repaired her transom rot; Brion Toss refurbished her rig. Sidney, B.C.

Kona Trader 1960 Built in Stockton, Calif., she’s constructed entirely of mahogany. In the 1970s a Seattle coffee importer renamed her Kona Trader. In 1981 she was repowered with twin Detroit Diesel 6-71s. We purchased her in Marina del Rey, Calif., in 1999. We’ve lived aboard ever since & brought her up the coast in 2002-04. We’ve cruised her extensively in the San Juan & B.C. islands. Seattle, Wash.

Kutty 1956 Kutty is a Kutter, the little sister of a Knarr. She was a derelict when I purchased her from CWB three years ago. I rerigged her as a gaffer & added a small cuddy for cruising. I renewed frames & floors below the waterline, & made the spars & sails. She’s now Gig Harbor’s best looking boat. Gig Harbor, Wash.

La Boheme 1926

Townsend, Wash.

Lady J 2009 The Lady J tug was built from the Berkeley Engineering Co. design for their 14’3” tug. I lengthened her to 16’10”, & the cabin by 1’, making room for 2 V berths, a porta potty & small galley. The Lady J is built from plywood embalmed in epoxy & fiberglass, & has a displacement of 2,150 lbs. Her flat bottom & barn door rudder make her very stable & maneuverable. She’s used as a recreational camp boat in the lakes, bays & rivers of Oregon. Albany, Ore.

Christened Kantaki upon her launch in 1938, this vessel’s keel was laid in 1926 in Victoria. After a complete rebuild in 1981, she was relaunched as La Boheme. Port

Lady Anne 1962 A 55’ Chris Craft Constellation For Sale with 871 Detroit diesels, she was first owned by a doctor in Olympia who cruised the San Juans for 10 years & then sold her to a mechanical contractor from Vancouver. He added a flying bridge. Although the exterior was very sound, we painted her & then completely gutted & restored the interior. We have been cruising the American & Canadian Islands to the Broughtons & further north for the last 12 years. My wife let me live my fantasy of living on board for 2 years. Lady Anne is an excellent live-aboard with all the conveniences of home. Seattle, Wash.

Western Canada’s most historic racing yacht, the Lady Van is a version of the R class yacht Endeavor, also designed by England’s Charles Nicholson. This fall she meets the restored Ted Geary R-boat Pirate, of Seattle, to contest the 100-year-old Alexandra Cup. The Boatbuilding Heritage Society of British Columbia enlisted Jespersen Boatbuilders, BC, for the majority of the Lady Van’s restoration, which began mid-2009. Vancouver, BC.

Ladyhawk 1934 Built as a Haikutter (type of North Sea fish boat) in Esbjerg, Denmark. Oak on oak construction, she fished the North Sea & Dogger Banks between England & Denmark for 45 years. She was originally registered as a “sail with helping motor,” a Granaa 2-cylinder, 2-cycle hot bulb type SIMI diesel, 100HP. She was bought out of the fishing fleet in 1977, converted back to a sailing vessel in Denmark, & served as our home until 2002. Port Townsend, Wash.

Lavengro 1927 Lavengro, originally Helen, was built in 1927 by landmark builder & designer Jack Covacevich in Biloxi Miss. She is the last remaining Biloxi Bay shrimping schooner. Her hull is swamp cypress which accounts for her survival & good condition. She once sailed the Gulf of Mexico as well as operating as a charter vessel in Hawaii before coming to the Northwest. Owned & operated by the Northwest Schooner Society nonprofit, she is sailed by volunteers. She is berthed at the Port of Brownsville & is the official tall ship of Kitsap County. Lavengro offers day sails charters & adventures in the Central Puget Sound Area. Seattle, Wash.

Legacy Legacy is the first Classic Cedar Single shell built by Steve Chapin in Port Townsend “in the Pocock tradition.” She was commissioned by Dick & Anne Scheider of Port Townsend & then generously donated back to the Pocock Classic Cedar Singles project. Port Townsend, Wash.

Leslie Jean 2006 Designer/builder Karl Bischoff copied most of her lines from a John Gardner article in National Fisherman. Bischoff built the 15’ Whitehall over 10 years. Each year he took a week’s worth of classes, first at the Wooden Boat Shop in Seattle & then at the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding in Port Townsend. As he learned each new skill, he would complete that part of the project. Seattle, Wash.

Lille Danser 1976

Malabar XV 1955

Built by John Freiburg & Roy West, her lines were taken by W.B. Crealock from an early 19th-century Danish tax vessel. Space originally designed for cargo now provides a saloon & forecabin with head & shower. She has been in the Allen family since 1983 & sailed in many Master Mariners regattas as well as a trip to Mexico. She’s now been passed down to daughter Tami as a boat & breakfast around Puget Sound. Bainbridge Island, Wash.

Malabar XV was designed by John Alden for his personal use & to participate in the Newport-Bermuda race. She was solidly constructed of white oak & mahogany by Graves of Marblehead. I found her nearly derelict in Seattle 5 years ago & have been slowly restoring For Sale & maintaining her. Malabar XV has been featured in both Cruising World & Latitudes & Attitudes magazines. Duvall, Wash.

Marionette 1964

Lionet 2008 I’ve been designing sailboats for 35 years, mostly in Port Ludlow where I built my first boat (the Lionet I). This Lionet is strip-built of old growth cedar, epoxy inside & out with 17 oz. bi-axle cloth. The cedar was collected from stumps found in the woods (don’t tell anyone!). All exterior trim is teak, interior is mahogany & yellow cedar. Sails by Carol Hasse, bronzework by Pete Langley’s PT Foundry. Cambria, Calif.

Lorelei 1969 Lorelei’s hull is strip-planked with 2-&-1/8 by 1-&-1/4 inch strips of red cedar. She has yellow cedar floors, bent oak frames at the bulkheads, a steel arch under the mast & teak for everything else. So far we’ve sailed on the lakes of Seattle, Puget Sound & Washington Sound. Seattle, Wash.

Lorraine 1959 A “Class” Nordic Folkboat, she was built in Denmark in 1959. She was imported by her first owner & raced in San Francisco. Her second owners trucked her to the Northwest where they cruised & lived aboard for 2 years. I bought Lorraine in January of 1979. She was bright yellow with a white house, a plywood companionway hatch & plexiglass ports. At that time she had no anchor grating, forward hatch, samson post, quarter bits, midship cleats, outboard motor mount, or sculling oar. During my 30 years of ownership Lorraine (named after my mother) has had many new planks frames & keel bolts added, & she has had a seagoing interior built as well as an entirely new house. Most recently, she has had her decks (& many things attached to those decks) replaced. The talents of many of Port Townsend’s finest marine trades people are exhibited in Lorraine. A joy to sail, she answers the helm like a dinghy & can handle high wind & seas like a ship. She enjoys northwest summer cruising & has taken honors in Victoria’s Classic Boat Festival. Port Townsend, Wash.

M/V Lotus 1909 An Edwardian houseboat cruiser, M/V Lotus is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Though 100 years old, Lotus remains historically complete. Designed by naval architects Lee & Brinton, she was built in the Sloan Yard in Seattle specifically to cruise the Inside Passage of the Pacific Northwest. Lotus is now operated by the M/V Lotus Heritage Foundation. Port Townsend, Wash.

Magic Wing 2008 A 10’ sailing dinghy designed by William Atkin for Captain Thomas Fleming Day in 1919, she was later called Vintage. The Atkin website gives a history & link to purchase the plans. This boat was built by Eric Hvalsoe in his Shoreline shop, with some help from Marie & me. The cotton duck sprit sail was made by Sean Rankins of Northwest Sails. She’s being thoroughly enjoyed for rowing & sailing from mountain lakes to camping in the San Juans. Seattle, Wash.

We then moved her on her own bottom For Sale from San Diego to Bainbridge Island. Her complete history is unknown, but we believe her design dates from the late 1940s or 1950s. Why the boat was constructed so late remains a mystery, but she evidently was never used for commercial fishing but rather as a deep-sea-fishing pleasure boat. Pender Island, BC.

No Regrets 1974 A 34’ express cruiser, she was For Sale custombuilt by Karl Iverson in 1975 to an unknown design. She’s in excellent shape, turnkey-ready to cruise, with many recent upgrades. Seattle, Wash.

She served the Navy during WW II, patrolling the Pacific Northwest. After the war, she was acquired by the State of Washington for fisheries patrol, but the governor commandeered her as the state yacht. When the governor’s political opponents discovered he had paid more than $100,000 for her restoration, he lost the election. Since then, she has been in private hands, hosting such luminaries as Robin Williams, Disney’s Michael Eisner & Julie Andrews. Mercer Island, Wash.

Onward 2010 Onward was built during the 2009-10 school year by the Community Boat Project, a partnership between Chimacum School District, Port Townsend School District, NWSWB, 4-H/WSU & Puget Sound Voyaging Society. Wayne Chimenti facilitated this project with Marci Van Cleve, NWSWB staff, 36 students, 50+ volunteers. Onward absorbed over 5,000 volunteer hours.

Otonabee 2009 Under construction for 8 years, she’s a strip canoe built of cedar with small amounts of black walnut, cherry, maple & alder. There are no metal fasteners. Structural stability comes from the 6 oz. fiberglass cloth covering the interior & exterior surfaces. Uniquely, the cedar strips are not one continuous piece of wood from stem to stem, which I was told could not be done. A finish carpenter for 45 years, I’ve always dreamed of building a canoe. Battle Ground, Wash.

Out West 2008 She’s a 14’ Mckenzie River drift boat designed & built by Rich Korte of Olympia. Unlike most (plywood) drift boats, her hull is cedar strip epoxy. There are almost no metal fasteners: wooden dowels are used instead. All the trim is ash with curly bubinga accents. Her Cowboy/Indian theme was inspired by Thomas Molesworth, a Cody, Wyo., furniture designer from the 1930’s & 40’s. Olympia, Wash.

Pax 1936 Designed by MSJ Hansen, the “perfectionist” among Spidsgatter designers, & likely built by Karl Thomsen in Kalundborg, Denmark, Pax has an international history.

She was imported to Victoria in the 1960s along with five other Spidsgatters, including Port Townsend vessels Eio & Da Capo. I found Pia nearly derelict at anchor in 1992 in Cortez Island, B.C., & began an intensive two-year repair. Pia’s construction, while typical in Denmark, is unusual in America. She has single-sawn grown timber on station, with steambent frames between. Planking is tight joined, like a barrel. All but two of the original 26 38-square-meter Klasse Spidsgatters ever built are still accounted for & sailing. Olympia, Wash.

Pirate 1926 Pirate is an R-class racing sloop designed by Ted Geary & built in Seattle by Lake Union Drydock. Geary specified there were to be no scarf joints in the stringers, clamps or shelves through the middle portion of the boat. The builders went one better, & all long structural members are full length with no joints of any kind. Geary later adapted Pirate’s design to a 1/12-scale pond yacht. Pirate had a long racing & cruising history in Southern California, eventually returning to Seattle’s Center for Wooden Boats in 1999, just a half-mile from where she was built nearly 75 years earlier. Nearly $70,000 was raised to fund a museum-quality restoration using techniques & materials as close to original as is possible. She’s sailing again & doing tours during the festival. Seattle, WA

Pleiades & the Port Townsend Schooner Co. welcome all ages onboard, encourages guests to get as involved in her workings as they like, whether it be for a 2-hour jaunt around the bay or full-day excursion. Port Townsend, Wash.

Pleiades (Sloop) Unknown Pleiades’ designer, date of construction & place of origin are unknown. In 1979, Kay Robinson purchased Pleiades when she was just a hull – no decking, deck framing or cabin. Her spars were included, as well as a rotten suit of sails. Between 19791987 Kay, her husband Peter, along with an extensive cadre of local talent, completely rebuilt Pleiades. In 1997-2007 she needed extensive haulouts. Even during the haulouts, she has always been a joy to the Robinsons. Port Townsend, Wash.

Rubio Focoso 1958 Built on Lake Union by the Grandy Boat Company, she was designed by Ed Monk & Lynn Senour. Her cedar hull has lived up to the Grandy reputation for quality craftsmanship.

Seattle, Wash.

Sage 2000 Sage was built by Rick Bedard from Jim Michalak’s Jewelbox Jr. design. She has a “Birdwatcher” cabin, providing a large living space on a small boat & gives tremendous reserve stability.

In 1999, the nonprofit Sand Man Foundation hired Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-op to rebuild her hull deck. Now 95% restored, the historic vessel was re-launched in September 2005. Tumwater, Wash.

Sande 1933 Before boat trailers, you’d go to a resort & rent a boat to fish. Sande is typical of those rentals.

Swe’Pea 1950 This little 50’s displacement runabout began life as Jet No. 130. The Jet is a decked International 14 hull with a Snipe rig. In the 1990’s she was too far gone to race, so when we needed a family boat the rot was cut away & she morphed into this cute runabout. She also was driven by a 5hp Honda for some years until our electric conversion. Not a bad second life for a great little hot-molded hull. The new electric outboard is steered through cables connected to the original tiller in the dash. The conversion is 40lbs. heavier than the gasoline setup, but weight distribution is much improved with battery weight forward & lighter outboard aft. With only 1/4 the power available, she still cruises 5-6 knots instead of the 6-7 kts for the 5hp Honda. Range is up to 8 hours at 3 kts - enough to travel from Shilshole to Port Townsend if the tides & winds are not against us. Recharging takes 8 hours. Since most of her use is social, the odorless silent drive is welcome, she’s much more reliable & there are no more trips aft to pull start the old Honda. Swe’Pea’s latest incarnation inspired the creation of the Electric Paddle; check out their booth at the Festival. North Bend, Wash.

Tart 2001 She was built for Allen Savage to use while his 32’ Prospector was being built on Gabriola Island. Students of Silva Bay shipyard school built her over the winter of 1999-2000. Her interior was worked on by the students from the summer ships’ cabinetry course. Tony Grove & some graduate students finished her. Later, Allen donated her back to the school & she was bought by her current owner, a 2000 grad of the course. She’s a Gaff-rig Catboat built of marine plywood on sawn frames with hard chine & centerboard. Gabriola Island, BC.

Tatiana 1966 Built by Ed Rabeneck in 1966 at Wellington, B.C., Tatiana was registered as a fishing vessel. Her present owner Nicholas Rushton tracked down Tatiana’s blueblood history, & Rabeneck’s son & nephew provided him some of her sail plans. Suspecting a connection to the designs of legendary naval architect L. Francis Herreshoff, Ruston superimposed the plans for Tatiana on those of Dulcinea, which Herreshoff used to design his famous racing yacht class Rozinante. Gabriola Island, BC.

Teelok 2003 Teelok has been to Port Townsend twice, once in 2003 for the Festival – which was maiden voyage from Olympia – then in 2004 just prior to Festival. Other than that, we have sailed her exclusively in the South Sound from Bud Bay to Blake Island. She has proven to be a worthy boat in both light & heavy winds well designed & seaworthy. She is a Sam Devlin design called a Wompus Cat. Olympia, Wash.

Thelonius 1953 Thelonius is a traditional bridge deck cruiser, based on an adaptation of a 1928 design. Yellow cedar planking over oak ribs, teak house & trim, with Honduras mahogany interior details. Repowered in 2007 with a Hino turbo diesel 150hp. Interior impeccably detailed by a boatwright who owned the boat in the 1990’s. Seattle, Wash.

Thunderbaby 2008 Thunderbaby’s mission is to promote the T-bird class. Everett, Wash.

Townsend Tern 2010 Design requirements called for a wood-hulled trailerable boat that could accommodate 2 people & be easily rigged & de-rigged. Therefore the choice was glued lapstrake construction a cat-ketch rig & un-stayed carbon-fiber masts in tabernacles. The centerboard was designed for minimal intrusion into the cabin space with the centerboard trunk serving as steps into the cabin & as a seat when working at the galley or at the navigation table. Auxiliary power is supplied by a Torqeedo Cruise 2.0 L electric motor powered by four 6-volt 220 amp hour AGM batteries. An Airhead Composting toilet is stored under the bridge deck. Port Townsend, Wash.

Townshend 1992 A replica of the yawl HMS Discovery carried during Vancouv e r ’s 1 7 9 2 - 9 5 exploration of Puget Sound, the original boat covered 30 to 40 miles a day charting these waters. NWSWB in Port Hadlock built this replica in 1992 to celebrate the expedition’s bicentennial. Eight rowing stations carry 14-foot oars, letting her cruise at 4 to 6 knots. Townshend, the original spelling for Port Townsend, serves as a floating classroom & living museum for the Wooden Boat Foundation. Port Townsend, Wash.

Tu-Tutsh 1961 Nice sailing T-Bird built by the current owner’s grandfather; her hull number is 39. She was faithfully built to the design & features mahogany trim & many original fittings & parts. Over the years she’s has taught the young to sail & seen many of the nooks & crannies of the Salish Sea. Lynnwood, Wash.

U & I 1956 Recently donated to the Silva Bay Shipyard School Society, M/V U&I is being restored as a show piece for the school. At the time of this writing, Marine Cabinetry & Joinery students were working on 9 individual projects. After the course is over, volunteers take over to apply new paint & tune up the systems before she visits various festivals. The U&I was built by Henry Meyers as a classic west coast commercial fishingstyle pleasure vessel, & subsequently modified to centre cockpit & aft cabin by Bill Ploughman & family. Gabriola Island, BC

Va Verde 2009 She’s a 21’ Redwing camp cruiser, begun as a father & son (& friends) boatbuilding project in October 2008 & launched in June 2009. Built using plywood & epoxy construction, she’s powered by a 20hp outboard. We’re bringing her to inspire others to build simple boats in their garages! Anacortes, Wash.

Varya 1940 Built in San Diego by Paul Kettenberg to a design by Phillip Rhodes. She was raced in San Diego for many years & remained competitive into the late 1970s. In 1988 we brought her to Victoria, where she underwent a 23-month rebuild. Varya has been extensively cruised in local waters since that time, to the great enjoyment of her crew. Victoria, BC

Viking Mariner 1955 Winner of the Best Workboat For Sale & Best Engine Room awards at the 2007 Victoria Classic Boat Show, Viking Mariner (christened Mar Brothers) was launched in Ladner, BC & worked as a drum seiner on the waters of the inside & outside coasts of Vancouver Island. A renowned skipper once referred to her as “one of the best sea boats I ever skippered.” From 2001-07 she was refitted & restored for a life of pleasure, sparing no expense, while faithfully maintaining the lines of her original design. Sidney, BC.

Vita Maris 1998 She’s a cold-molded centre cockpit cutter built in Bamfield on Vancouver Island’s west coast. The design was reviewed by Joel White in the October 1991 issue of WoodenBoat magazine. I have been sailing her for several years now & have attended the show with her a few times, but never as an exhibitor. Since this year Bent Jespersen is being recognized for his great contribution, I would like to show her off as a nod to Bent. Over my career as a boat builder, Bent’s encouragement & generosity have been inspirational. Brentwood Bay, BC.

Vito Dumas 1933 Designed by Manuel Campos & built by Jose Parodi in Buenos Aires, Argentina, she’s carvelplanked of virraro on lapacho frames. She came north from South America on her own bottom in 1975. Port Townsend sailor Alex Spear bought her in San Diego in early 1976 & has owned her for more than 30 years. She races actively in Port Townsend & cruises extensively in the Northwest. Vito has been in almost every Wooden Boat Festival. Port Townsend, Wash.

After her launch, she sailed to Mexico & back through the Panama Canal up the east coast & into the Great Lakes. She survived Hurricane Rita & the harsh sun in Key West & St. Thomas. Finally she was returned to Seattle by freighter & trailer. Now she is steadily being brought back to Mckiernan condition. Seattle, Wash.
