This very informal gathering is for
people of all ages - everyone is invited. Just show up and enjoy the day down by the water. We'll have all five of our boat shops
open for public tours, as well as our welding shop and blacksmith shop. Of course, there will be plenty of Boat School boats to see and enjoy as well as a wide variety of visiting boats, many built by the Boat School and our alumni over the past 30 years. This year we're hosting a steak and
hotdog grill for a nominal cost. The Ajax Cafe will host a beer garden at their restaurant across the street from the School, and Mystery Bay Seafood will be on site to sell seafood. Boats built by our accredited
Community Boatshop program over the past three years by local high school students and community volunteers will be in the water to take participants out for short sail and row cruises. The Northwest School of Wooden

Possession Point State Park Closure
The Washington State Parks and
Recreation Commission has closed Possession Point State Park on Whidbey Island, to replace the seawall as of July 18. The project will include removing the plank bulkhead and replacing it with a buried rock trench to allow better long-shore transport of beach materials for improved salmonid habitat. Work is expected to take 60 to 90 days for completion. The park is open to those arriving
by wind- or human-powered watercraft only and is popular with scuba divers.
Quantum Sails NW is in new hands.
Dan Kaseler is setup and rocking at 6319 Seaview Ave NW in Shilshole. Quantum Sails NW is a full service loft with the most robust toolset in the PNW, including a carbon arm Autometrix plotter for chopping out tapes and numbers, an Ultrabond glue gun, ten sewing machines, and everything in- between.
Kaseler says, “Coupling with the
Quantum product range, we have exactly the right product for here in the PNW. I was a Quantum customer myself before pursuing ownership. You just can’t beat the longevity of the Quantum laminations, and their downwind designs are excellent.” Many know Kaseler from his
20-year history in the sailmaking business, made famous for his ground- breaking work in windsurfing and kitesurfing, as well as de-throning Yellow Pages and holding the WSSRC outright 500m speed record at 48.7 knots, from 2004-2008. Additionally, Kaseler’s designs have found success on numerous boats and dinghies, including the ultra- competitive foiling Moth class. Together with his wife Jacque, and
his three-year-old son Cascade, Kaseler is an avid family sailor who calls Port Madison Yacht Club his home turf. With lots of victories at local events, and some solid finishes on the road, one can count on Dan for knowledgable sail and boat advice. For a couple weeks in the summer, during the lull in the racing season, you can find Dan and family sailing and exploring up in the San Juans. Kaseler states, “People expect
prompt, honest service, and products that are competitive and durable. Stepping into the Quantum family gives us access to a well-organized loft network, with deep design resources. On top of all the design time, I have a ton of experience in hands-on sail work. Give us a shout at (206) 634-0636, or stop by the loft to check us out.”
