35th Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival Celebrates “Craftsmanship” September 9-11
In addition to a harbor and grounds
packed with almost 300 woodenboats, this year's Wooden Boat Festival features 125 educational presentations from tool demonstrations to cruising voyages to the latest on new technology, books and gear. Presentations this year showcase top woodworking instructors, authors and craftsmen at a 2nd Woodworking Stage plus more than 40 tool and boatbuilding exhibitors at the Point, Boatyard and Boat Shop including Lie-Nielsen, Lee Valley, Edensaw, Festool and boat or marine trades training schools including NW School of Wooden Boatbuilding, Skagit Marine Technology & Manufacturing, Seattle Community College and IYRS (Intl Yacht Restoration) from Rhode Island. Whether it's your trade, your next
haulout, a new career or the ability to gain skills to work on your own boat,
the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival helps inspiration become reality. Start the Festival with a half-day
seminar with world renowned author Nigel Calder. Limited seating is available for The Energy Efficient Boat: a look at new technologies. Tickets are availble online at
woodenboat.org Thursday evening, 7:00-9:00, join
us for the west coast premier showing of Charlotte, a wooden boat story by award winning producer who lives part time on Martha's Vineyard where the film was shot. The movie documents six years of Nat Benjamin building his schooner Charlotte while life continues at Gannon & Benjamin boatyard through winter storms, summer sun and with shot upon shot of real life boatbuilding. Tickets are $10 online or at the door if space available. Friday morning the festival opens at
9:00 am and continues through Sunday at 5:00 pm. Special evening events feature sailing legends Lin & Larry Pardey with Friday and Saturday night talks on Storm Tactics and The Unstoppable Cruising Boat. Both evening programs start at 7:00. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door if space available. Wooden Boat Festival is an annual
celebration complete with kids activities, races, music, beer and food. It takes place in the beautifully restored historic downtown civic district including the NW Maritime Center & Wooden Boat Foundation facilities and historic Point Hudson marina.
