LETTER FROM THE FOUNDING DIRECTOR 1998 was a very good year for The Center for Wooden Boats. Our membership increased by nearly 12%, our youth programs grew dramatically, our adult maritime skills programs were full, with a waiting list for sailing instruction, our volunteer corps doubled from 1997. Wow! How did all this happen? It was a product of a great staff, a horde of skilled and eager volunteers, generous donors and 20 years of service to our community. In 1978, two decades ago, CWB became a non-profit organization. The Internal Revenue Service gave us our 501(c)(3) status. That means we are recognized by the IRS as a public-benefiting organization with "charitable, educational or scientific" purpose. It also means income to CWB is tax exempt and donations to CWB are tax deductible because our income supports an educational mission.
printing, materials for exhibits and meeting refreshments (coffee and cookies have always been the mainstay of the CWB diet). From an almost microscopic fiscal beginning, we have steadily increased our activities and cash flow. What success we have achieved is due to what we do and how we do it. The Center for Wooden Boats has grown in popularity and proportionate income because our environment is as comfortable as grandma's kitchen and our programs are as exciting as learning to ride a two-wheel bike. People enjoy the friendly staff and volunteers and the colorful diversity of the boats. And those who take our hands-on-history programs go away with a glow that comes with the experience of magic moments. Through the process of "doing" maritime heritage, they leave
with a long-lasting memory of maritime heritage in their hands and hearts. This ever-expanding haven of happy people and effective programs exists on our wide base of earnings and our broad spectrum of contributions. Our earnings include rental of our boats and fees for skills instruction. Contributions and pledges in 1998 came from King County Office of Cultural Resources, Seattle Mental Health Institute, Washington State Department of Parks and Recreation, Youth Adventure, Chisholm Foundation, Northwest Yacht Brokers Association, United Way, The Boeing Company, Microsoft, Air Touch Cellular and U.S. West. We received individual cash donations from 203 members of CWB. Our activities this year often made CWB's site look like a speeded-up soccer match. But, at the
Back then, we didn't exactly make headlines in the 1978 Wall Street Journal. But we certainly made waves with our community activities. With a volunteer team of our six Trustees and the CWB membership, we produced the 2nd Annual Lake Union Wooden Boat Festival, spring and fall traditional boat regattas at Gasworks Park on Lake Union, monthly talks at The Old Boathouse (a historic houseboat and our first headquarters) and a series of workshops and technical seminars on maritime heritage skills. These were held at free or cheap sites, including Shoreline Historical Museum, Wooden Boat Shop, Lake Union Naval Reserve Center, Good Shepherd Home and Acme Blacksmith Shop. We took maritime heritage to the people. In 1978 we also published a monograph on the Poulsbo Boat, a Wooden Boat Builders Directory and the inaugural issue of our newsletter, Shavings. By year's end, our financial report showed $500 in grants and contributions received and $1,157.44 in memberships. Our dues then were $7.50 for individuals, $ 15 for organizations and $100 for Life. We reported $1,976.35 in workshop receipts for a total of $3,633.79. We ended the year with $3,062.64 in cash and $95.00 in accounts payable. Expenses included insurance,

same time, there were about a gazillion behindthe-scenes activities that bear on CWB's future. The Maritime Heritage Foundation is planning a collaborative Maritime Heritage Center that will include CWB, the Northwest Schooner Society, Puget Sound Maritime Historical Society, the Virginia V, United Indians of All Tribes and Northwest Seaport. The MHF will coordinate the various organizations' collections, programs, skills and visions. It also will aim to raise funds for planning and facilities that will benefit all MHF members. While MHF was brainstorming its mission and goals, CWB also was in the epicenter of developing the South Lake Union Neighborhood Plan. Through several public process sessions, the planning work was divided into Parks & Open Space, Neighborhood Character and Transportation. Seattle's Department of Neighborhoods provided a grant to develop action plans for South Lake Union. CWB hosted the Parks & Open Space meetings and most of the public review of the overall plan. The completed South Lake Union Neighborhood Plan went before the City Council on December 5. Presentations were made by all the committee chairs. Lt. Peter Puget (Matthew Schmall, who has been portraying Peter Puget in appearances with the replica scale model of Capt. George Vancouver's ship of exploration, Discovery) of HM Royal Navy also came to comment on his viewpoint of his Sound in 1792. One of the plan's recommendations is a Maritime Heritage Center in the soon-to-be South Lake Union Park. The park site will be the former Lake Union Naval Reserve Base, adjoining CWB's west side. The base was decommissioned September 30, 1998, and will be taken over by the City as a park. Peter Puget, in full dress naval uniform, reminded the Council how important it was to preserve our maritime heritage. Although the Council will be studying the plan further, they unanimously endorsed the Maritime Heritage Center recommendation. The Council passed out CWB mugs to the chairs of the planning committees in thanks for their work and to symbolize the educational theme of the
new park. Lt. Puget was especially thanked for "coming so far to the meeting." (There will be a City Council public hearing on the South Lake Union Plan beginning at 6:30 p.m. on January 13 at The Center for Wooden Boats.)
a few acres. They will become a living museum with CWB in the mi4dle, doing our maritime heritage programs. The rest of the site will be preserved and interpreted as a living natural history exhibit.
On December 8, Seattle Mayor Paul Schell conducted a news conference at CWB to announce the South Lake Union Neighborhood Plan. Mayor Schell applauded the concept of a Maritime Heritage Center and has begun steps to implement the plan.
Meetings this year focused on business plans, engineering and architectural plans and permits, construction schedules, program planning and the creation of a Cama Beach Institute to coordinate education programs and a Cama Beach Advisory Committee to be overseers of the Cama Beach development and programs. CWB has been vigorously involved in all phases.
As if MHF and SLU planning weren't enough, this also was a hot-and-heavy planning year for CWB at Camano Island. The State Parks & Recreation Department has purchased the Cama Beach property on Camano Island. Cama Beach was built in 1932 as a waterfront camp of 50 cabins and a boathouse with 50 boats. The State, CWB and the former owners of Cama Beach have participated in the vision statement and master plan for the Cama Beach park. The 450-acre site is mostly forest and 6,000' of beach. The structures cover only
We hope to have some programs, including talks, workshops and volunteer projects, at both the South Lake Union Park Maritime Heritage Center and Cama Beach in 1999. The plan is to have both in full operation after the year 2000 or another gazillion meetings, whichever comes first. Twenty years as a grassroots supported, dotouch museum and we're still on course. — Dick Wagner
CALLING ALL PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE VOLUNTEERS! If you've ever been, currently are or want to be a CWB Volunteer, now's the time! We have two upcoming projects that can't be done without a virtual army of Volunteers. And Volunteer Coordinator Diane Gowman is eagerly waiting YOUR call to sign up for the projects described below. You'll find her at CWB - (206) 382-2628 - from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. And here's why we need you: Our storage space in the old Troy laundry Building must be relocated to the other end of the building. If you've ever been to a CWB garage sale, you know what an accumulation of boats, gear, files and stuff we have. And it's all got to be sorted, moved or dumped pronto. We'll be working at this every day, all day, the last week of December and the first week of January. You don't have to have tons of muscle to be
of help - but we wouldn't mind having a weight-lifter or two around. On the lighter side, once again, the hallowed halls of the Kingdome (actually the "Sausage" outside the Kingdome) will ring with the sounds of youthful boatbuilders at this year's Kingdome Boatshow. Thanks to Northwest Marine Trade Association, which has provided space for the activity, kids of all ages will be able to turn simple materials into the toy boat of their dreams. Materials have been donated by Oso Lumber and Truss Company. The last time we did this we were informally recognized as the "Highest Volume Boat Dealer" at the show, as about 1,500 toy boats sailed out the door. The Kingdome show runs from January 1524. It is sponsored by NMTA, which represents recreational boating manufacturers, dealers, brokers and marine suppliers from Washington, Oregon and around the country. The Kingdome show is the third largest boat show in the country. One of the wooden boats featured at the show this year is the latest product of Legendary Yachts, the 33' Francis Herreshoff ketch Araminta, displayed indoors with sails up. We are looking for volunteers to help set up, take down and/or work at the CWB booth. In addition to our toy boat shop, we also will be showing visitors how to tie turk's heads, fold origami boats and fly without benefit of machinery (just seeing if you were paying attention). The show is a tremendous opportunity to spread the word about CWB to thousands of people who haven't yet been lucky enough to hear about us.

1998: A GREAT YEAR FOR FUN AT CWB If there's anything The Center for Wooden Boats is well known for (besides, of course, the West Coast's largest collection of traditional small craft), it's as a place to have a good time. And we had lots of good times in 1998. People came to row or sail, to admire the boats, to learn a skill, to swap sea stories or just to hang out. Here are some of the highlights:
The biggest crowd came for our annual homage to wooden boats of all sizes: The 22nd Annual Lake Union Wooden Boat Festival Despite gray skies, a steady stream of visitors wended their way along our docks. Marty Loken, whose photos have provided half a dozen memorable Festival posters, got a bird's eye view of the big boats from the roof of the Armory Building (top left below) and captured the grace of the small boats from the shoreline (bottom left). The Festival crowds were treated to an exciting Ed Clark Classic Yacht race on the opening day of the Festival (bottom right). That's CWB's Yankee One Design at left, vying for room at the mark (photo by Ron Callahan).

Toy boat building was so popular we added a winter version in December. Cold and rain didn't deter these kids, who came to meet our holiday seafarer, Captain Christmas, and build an their dream boats with the aid of the Captain's elves, including Volunteer Andrea Denton (left). In September, we hosted the Norm Blanchard WOOD (Wooden Open One Design) Regatta (photos next page). The wind gods smiled on the 42 boats that turned out for some hard-fought races. The competition was fierce among the El Toros, Pelicans and Beetle Cats in the 15-boat small boat class (top left) as they raced a short course easily visible by the shoreside spectators. CWB members made a more than respectable showing (bottom left). Steve Kinnaman's crew
on the yawl Blue Moon (left in photo) and Harvey Nobe's Friendship sloop Amie (right) were friendly competitors in the big boat class. Volunteers Layne Benofsky (left) and Chris Butler, rigging the Concordia (bottom right), were also among the happy racers. (Sara Longley pho-
tos for the Seattle Press). We had a full schedule of workshops and classes throughout the year. One of the most popular was Corey Freedman's Baidarka building class, as is evident on the faces of the October group (top right). Showing off their kayaks
in progress are, left to right, Corey, George Yang, Corey's assistant Doc (kneeling), Aaron Ashby, Janet Yang and Tina Kelley. Tina's story on building her kayak ran in the Sunday New York Times in November, prompting inquiries on CWB's workshops from around the country. Check the Calendar on page 8 for upcoming workshops.
FAIR WINDS, DIERK WELCOME ABOARD, CHRIS Dierk Yochim, our longest-lived Boatshop Manager, is leaving the dusty environs of CWB for other adventures. Dierk took over the 'Shop in March of 1996 when I was moved from there to the Boathouse. Having believed that I did a pretty good job as Shop Manager, it was a little annoying to see how much better Dierk did it. His craftsmanship, know-how and friendly, sometimes sardonic, way with volunteers will be much missed. And the "Pickle," his and Sean Bull's Quick & Daring entry in the 1997 Boat Festival, will go down in history as one of the best Q&D boats ever. Picking up where Dierk leaves off will be Chris Rockwell. The Boatshop Manager is one of the most difficult staff positions to fill; I expect Chris will do admirably. He has been learning boatbuilding for the past
few years at Roy Dunbar's shop in Magnolia, after having worked in home building and restoration for 12 years. Chris has also been rebuilding his own Blanchard Senior and regularly racing on Caribbee, a 58' Rhodes, and Irene, a PC. He's a friendly, easy-going guy, so hoof it on down to the 'Shop to meet him and get your hands dirty working on a boat! - Bob Perkins

THEY KNOW THE RULES! When the kids from kindergarten through third grade at Puget Sound Primary Academy came to CWB for a morning of activities, their teachers told them they would "have to obey the rules." The first activity on the agenda was toy boat building and the kids wanted to know: What are the rules? A f t e r Youth P r o g r a m Facilitator Meg Trzaskoma explained CWB's rules, the kids made up their own version, which we quote verbatim: Toy Boat Safety Rules 1.

She was the 1997 Women's Thistle Champion and crewed on the boat that took third place in the 1998 Thistle Nationals. Ann's been on three winning crews in the J-24 District 19 Championships and she and her dad, Richard Lootens (another wellknown name in Northwest racing circles), twice won the 215-mile Huron Double-Handed Challenge. Year-round she races her Thistle, TTFN, on Lake Washington. February 5, 1999 (Friday) SAILMAKING SLIDE SHOW 7:30 p.m CWB Boathouse As a prelude to the sailmaking class she will be conducting at CWB the next two weekends (see Maritime Skills Workshops listings for details), Ellen Falconer of Sound Sails will present a slide show on the creation of a new spritsail for CWB's Bristol Bay Gillnetter. The black-andwhite slides were taken by Linda Townsend of Port Townsend last year. The presentation, which will last about an hour, is open to all. February 19, 1999 (Friday) THIRD FRIDAY SPEAKER SERIES 8 p.m. CWB Boathouse For thousands of years, the people of the Arc7
tic conceived and evolved the most efficient selfpropelled crafts ever in the history of man. Corey Freedman, who has probably forgotten more about kayaks that we will ever know, will take us on a unique cultural journey of umiaks and kayaks, from Siberia to Greenland, in "The History of the Skin Boat (4,000 B.C. - The Present)." It will be an in-depth look into the evolution, application, form and function of Arctic skin boats. Through slides and on-site replicas, he'll explore these truly remarkable construction methods and how they are applicable in today's world. February 20, 1999 (Saturday) TRADEWINDS - THE AUCTION!!! Bell Harbor Conference Center It's back to Bell Harbor for another spectacular CWB Fundraising Auction, which promises to outdo even the outstanding 1997 Auction.

All sorts of things are needed: nautical and non-nautical goods, services of every kind, vacation getaways, sports equipment, theater and sports event tickets or unique or hard-to-find items. Particularly sought are unique items that will provoke spirited bidding. And we're also recruiting volunteers for the myriad jobs it takes to make the Auction a success. If you have an item to donate or would like to sign on as a member of the Auction crew, call Sue Schaeffer, Auction Chair, at CWB: (206) 382-2628.
