43rd Wooden Boat Festival Program

LET'S get FESTIVE

Welcome!

LETTERS FROM THE DIRECTORS Welcome to the 43rd Wooden Boat Festival—a year not to miss! The Wooden Boat Festival feeds the soul. Where else can you be surrounded by such beauty, craftsmanship, and people who love boats and the sea? Once again we have an incredible line-up of boats, presenters and activities. This year we are very excited to include the Japanese boat building theme into the mix. The culture of Japanese boat building brings a whole new dimension of education and experiences to the weekend. Planing contests, boat building apprenticeships where the students don’t speak, Shinto launchings, and the history of Japanese boat building in British Columbia will add a special flavor. You can also see boats that were confiscated in the war, and the last boat built in Murakami Shipyards in BC. I hope you enjoy all that Festival has to offer and that it feeds your soul!

Hello friends! I don’t know about you, but I could use a little Wooden Boat Festival. I want to be around craftsmanship.

I want to be in crowds of curious people with intention and skill. I need to stay up too late and dance my ass off in the beer tent with the community of Port Townsend and the community that joins us once a year. I’m excited to race the races, pour over the incredible boats, go to as many classes and talks as I can, ogle the beautiful tools. I’m excited, and I hope you’ll join me for what is shaping up to be one of the best festivals in recent memory. I mean—look at the boats in here, the talks, the bands. Gonna be great— let’s celebrate!

See you on the docks, Jake Beattie Executive Director, Northwest Martime Center

uring a recent residency with the Jefferson Museum, I had the pleasure of pouring over POSTER hundreds of old maritime photographs. SIGNING It stood out how much the world around Saturday, 12 pm - 2 pm us has changed, while the experience Merchandise Tent of working with wooden boats remains steady. The clear exchange of our effort and time into the resulting curve of a piece of wood, the gleaming shine of something well oiled, well worn, and well loved. Every sailor knows (or dreams of) that moment when you stand on the edge of the dock finally ready to set out, whether it has taken a month of work to get there or a decade. I wanted to capture a glimpse of that timeless experience that ties us together through the generations.

I envisioned a father sharing his knowledge with a growing daughter preparing to set out in her first “big boat," a young couple nervously readying for a grand adventure, two good friends familiar in their work and excited to enjoy another summer of evening races, and a retired couple working together to reclaim wandering ways that had been set aside in lieu of gardens and carpools. All are parts of my own sea story, and all the characters share that same anticipation for when the work of the yard gives way to become their dreams and days. The horizon is always a brilliant sunrise when looking from the sawdust and spilled paint of the yard.

While my own sailing life has waxed and waned in the flurry of activity that is life, craft, and motherhood, I will always be a boatyard kid at heart. Born into it from day one, I lived my first years along the docks and under a blue heaven of tarps and sails strung between hauled out hulls. I enjoyed all the magic of it and none of the callouses. Over the years I’ve climbed rigs and scraped bottoms in yards from Penobscot Bay to Patagonia and set out expectantly from Port Townsend on many craft. A scow,

EXPERIENCE JAPANESE BOATBUILDING

W

hen you step into the Boatshop you will step into the world of Japanese boatbuilding. Amid the sawdust and shavings lie treasures of history and tradition. This culture differs from ours in so many ways, it fascinates and intrigues. Under Japanese values, humility trumps ego. A builder tells the story of how he could always tell when a mistake was made, or something wasn’t right, as traditional builders would carefully avoid that area on their visits to save him from “losing face.”

But traditional Japanese boatbuilding faces a threat similar to the one currently faced by traditional wooden boatbuilding. The last generation of Japanese boat builders today is aging, and almost none have apprentices. A strong tradition of secrecy in Japanese crafts adds to this dilemma.

Boat builders leave almost no written records of their designs, and drawings they may produce often intentionally lack essential information.

This secrecy shows up in one of the most interesting phrases in Japanese crafts: nusumigeikko, or “stolen lessons.” Most traditional craftsmen can tell stories from their apprenticeships of being forced to “steal” important secrets from their masters. If a teacher was not a family member, very often the student’s education would be incomplete. The master may have needed cheap labor but did not want to create a competitor. Without a generation of trained apprentices, the traditions and secrets of Japanese boatbuilding could be lost.

woodenboat.org

Douglas Brooks, a visiting instructor here at the Festival, has apprenticed with seven boatbuilding masters in Japan, and is the only person to have done so with six of them.

You might call him a master, but he would not like that. At the least, however, he surely rates as a rare authority on Japanese boatbuilding. He has been honored as a significant contributor to the preservation of Japan’s maritime culture by the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs, and has written four books on Japanese boat building. Brooks hopes to continue to find support for his research so he may continue documenting the work of these craftsmen by interviewing more boat builders and producing detailed construction drawings of their boats.

Prior to Festival, he and his students will be crafting a Japanese river boat in the Wooden Boat Foundation Boatshop, using traditional Japanese tools, techniques, and methods. Brooks will expose the students to a taste of apprenticeship in Japan. A hallmark of learning a craft in Japan is that, when you are in the learning stage, there must be absolutely no speaking. A Japanese apprenticeship consists, first and foremost, of an internal process, and therefore a silent one. Students must develop values of patience, observation, humility, obedience, and perseverance. Only then do they have the means to learn from the master. It is, at root, a values-based education, and one conforming to Buddhist principles of Zen Monastic training.

September 6-8, 2019

SHINTO IS THE NATIVE RELIGION of Japan. In brief, Shintoism is the ritual worship of a spirit—called kami—that pervades all things animate and inanimate.

Japanese craft products such as boats undergo their own spiritual ceremonies. Various shrine objects are used including mochi (rice cakes) and sake (rice wine). Essentially the ceremony is an act of purification of the boat and even the boatbuilders. While a priest can conduct the ceremony, most often these ceremonies are led by the boatbuilders themselves.

All ceremonies have a local flavor based on traditions of the region or even an individual town. In some ceremonies a small shrine is placed on the boat. Often this is no more than a mortise in which significant objects are placed. Once the boat is in the water it may be rowed in particular motions signifying good luck. After the ceremony gifts are often thrown to spectators, usually candy or small crackers.

To do.

SPIRITUAL BASE

JAPANESE TOOLS IN THE 1570S YOITA-CHO, a small town on To do. the island of Honshu, was primarily home to Watch amazing blacksmiths who specialized in making swords for planning contests the Samurai elite. At the end of the Samurai period the talent of the blacksmiths was redirected and in the Boatshop, all weekend, hosted by the families of Yoita-cho branched out to produce high quality hand forged tools for temple builders Kezurou-kai USA . throughout Japan. Today, the unbroken legacy of excellence continues to be passed down through the generations, with products from this small town being highly treasured by woodworkers and craftsmen around the globe. Suzuki-ya Tools, now based in Berkeley, CA, carries Inomoto plane blocks and Yamamoto planes which will be exhibited in the Boatshop all weekend.

Because traditonal Japanese carpenters did not use sandpaper, they smoothed everything by planing. As a result, planing contests in Japan have become competitions of art, skill and craft. The contestants sharpen their planes for a whole day in preparation for the contest, and some store the planes in a cooler to hold the temperature and humidity so the blocks don’t change shape until the competition begins.

EPIC JAPANESE-CANADIAN BOATS THE HISTORY OF JAPANESE BOATBUILDING comes very close to our home in the Pacific Northwest.

In the early 1900s many Japanese people immigrated to British Columbia for fishing and other economic opportunities. Japanese boatbuilders became widespread and very successful in BC in the pre-World War II era. Despite the many obstacles they faced, boatbuilders of Japanese heritage led the way in innovation and adoption of new technologies during a golden era of West Coast Canadian boatbuilding, where their influence can still be felt today. We will be showcasing two Japanese-Canadian built boats from that area.

t wasn’t until after Team Platte Canyon High School (PTHS) was accepted into SEVENTY48 that I saw the sign hanging in the classroom where they built their boat, Credimus.

“No one outside this room believes you will succeed.”

The sign reminded me of the comments I would get when telling people we were starting a race to Alaska, or those who mocked SEVENTY48 as too dangerous and too long for a human-powered boat race.

SEVENTY48 and Race to Alaska are two races born from improbable thought; created amidst a swirl of doubters and pessimists. So I wasn’t surprised to see the sign hanging in Kip Otteson’s school room. What he wanted to do was improbable at best, but incredible, too. He called to ask me if he gathered some students to race in SEVENTY48 would they be allowed to race. I replied that it depended on their skillsets, and if a 5-year-old had the adventure background to make the cut, we’d let them race too. I didn’t care about age, but I really had no idea what he wanted to do.

Twenty people, almost all of them high school students, were to construct a boat out of an existing 40 foot SelwayFischer dragon boat. They were to build amas (additional hulls) and create what Kip once called a tri-canoe: a three-hull #woodenboatfestival

vessel capable of carrying some-20 people, supplies, gear, hope and desires—all of it—for a 70-mile, two-day journey.

The adults easily had the background to keep them safe, and the students seemed motivated. I told Kip they were accepted, but wanted to follow the build project of the vessel.

One time when I asked Kip how the construction was going, he said, “We are full on into the build, so it’s after school every day, and now going into the weekends. We are having folks coming out of the woodwork to help. I’m documenting stuff on Facebook and it goes to our GoFundMe page.”

Their project took off. Still, I didn’t know they were serious until spring break, when they invited me out to Dana Point, California for the maiden voyage. They were unstoppable, but I couldn’t understand their motivation to go racing. I actually didn’t know what was driving them until a separate conversation with Kip. “Google our school,” Kip said, “and you see results that talk about nothing but hostages and murder. We don’t want our school to be known for hate. We want to be known for heroics, love, and kindness. When you Google our school, we want the results to be about the celebration of life, not the taking of it.”

They continued to practice. The highlight of the practices was a 10.5hour, 41-mile paddle on Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins. They paddled from 8 PM to 6:30 AM the following morning. The weather was cold and water bottles were freezing up. Kids and adults were hallucinating as they learned how to sleep in their seats.

Although they were bone tired and cranky, the students knew that they had the ability to go all night. They could finish SEVENTY48.

Credimus is Latin for “we believe," and SEVENTY48 itself worked out better than they could have hoped. The students felt like they had truly accomplished something meaningful. Parents and well-wishers crushed them with kindness and support the whole way.

Students will never forget the feeling in the boat when they approached the dock and it seemed as if the entire pier was crammed with folks cheering as their boat came in—tears, cheers, and applause in abundance.

When a group of the girls was being interviewed two days after the race they told an interviewer that they felt they “could now do anything they set their minds to.” Students and adults came away feeling empowered to set their sights on goals and dreams they never thought they could attain.

Nowadays when you Google Platte Canyon High School, violent articles still crowd the results, but near the top of page two, like a sunrise pushing towards its horizon, the improbable emerges. A team of hopeful students, parents, and teachers became the first Coloradans ever to complete the epic human-powered race, SEVENTY48, and set a school on its hopeful journey to reimagining itself. A school where the improbable has become that much more possible. Thank you, Team PCHS. We have been honored and humbled to watch you race.

Don't Miss Racer Alley

Race to Alaska and her feisty, scrappy sibling, SEVENTY48, are coming to Festival.

CREW FROM BOTH RACES will be on hand throughout the festival to share in their experiences. Finishing the races has only been one of many objectives for teams, oftentimes the difficulty of the races means just participating is a feat worth attempting. Come hang out, have a drink and meet these world-class adventurers face to face.

On display this year are the vessels that took both first and last place in Race to Alaska as well as a collection of small boats built by racers for both races.

There will also be a large audio-visual display of race images and video clips. Nothing in life is free, except for this: a chance to meet and hear from what we call the everyday hero, those neighbors of ours who strive to push the boundaries of what even we think is possible!

Visit: r2ak.com and SEVENTY48.com

Ziska AFTER A LIFETIME of racing and cruising, Ziska finds a new home, a new chance, and becomes the oldest boat to ever complete the Race to Alaska.

Ziska was built in 1903 and spent the majority of her life in her homeland of England before cruising stints in the Caribbean and the Eastern Seaboard.

Local shipwright Clint Thompson brought her to Port Townsend in 2006 where she was in such bad shape that Ziska was not even allowed to enter the Wooden Boat Festival.

In 2017, under the care of Stanford Siver, Ziska underwent a two-year rebuild involving many of the luminaries of wooden boat restoration in Port Townsend. Stanford originally intended to race her in Race to Alaska and then put her up for sale, but after a successful race and ever-growing love affair with Ziska, Stanford has decided he can’t let her go.

And thank goodness. May she grace the waterfront of Port Townsend and Festival docks for years to come.

REAL WORLD PROBLEM SOLVING

HANDS-ON EDUCATION FOR A NEW GENERATION OF CRAFTSPEOPLE

J

ust a few miles down the road from the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival is a country crossroads that’s home to a center of learning with a well-deserved international reputation for excellence.

The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding occupies seven waterfront acres in Port Hadlock, offering an intensive journey deep into what continues to be a thriving maritime industry. Students enrolled at the school select from one of three programs of study: Traditional Wooden Boatbuilding, Contemporary Wooden Boatbuilding (employing a variety of composites), and Marine Systems. The boatbuilding programs offer year-long, hands-on training covering everything from safely using and caring for tools to lofting, constructing, and launching boats. Due to the rigorous curriculum, students are in the classroom or shops from 8 AM to 5 PM daily, with boatbuilding programs awarding an Associate of Occupational Studies degree (AOS) in just 12 months, and the Marine Systems program awarding a

diploma in just 6 months. Federal student aid and Veterans Education benefits are available for those that qualify.

Marine Systems is the newest of the school’s offerings.

Under the lead instruction of Kevin Ritz, students are directed toward a thorough understanding of just about everything in a boat but the boat itself. In just 6 months, they’ll get hands-on training in marine electrical, diesel engines and gas outboards, corrosion prevention, hydraulic systems, propulsion, plumbing, HVAC, steering and controls, and heating and refrigeration. Already, many of the students of the inaugural Marine Systems class who were seeking employment secured jobs in the maritime trades upon graduation. Increasingly, students are opting to extend their stay at school by enrolling in both the Boatbuilding and Marine Systems programs.

“We are a trade school,” instructor Leland Gibson said.

“The maritime industry is a fairly vibrant industry. You get to live in the beautiful places of the world, and you get to earn a

solid middleclass income doing something you love.”

Alumni enthusiastically agree.

“Hands down, the most educational thing I’ve done in my life.” said Misha Bogart. “It’s led to great things already. It definitely made me more competitive in the workforce.”

Misha came to the school in 2017 and completed the Contemporary Wooden Boatbuilding program followed by the Marine Systems program Misha was hired by the State of Alaska to maintain their fleet of Fish and Wildlife law enforcement vessels and to captain one of their 85’ boats.

Misha’s vote of confidence is echoed by his fellow alumnus.

Shawn Meyer sailed his boat to the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding from Glacier Bay, Alaska. “I spent 18 months at the school taking the Boatbuilding and Marine Systems class, and it was fantastic.”

Now he’s rewiring his boat and working as a boatbuilder and marine technician in Port Townsend. “Attending the school has given me the confidence to tackle huge projects, like a repower, by myself. I would say it doesn’t matter if it’s a wood boat or a fiberglass boat or a metal boat. You’re going to learn the foundation and the skills you need in this course to take you really far in the marine world.”

The skills imparted at what people around Jefferson County simply refer to as “The Boat School” are transferrable to a host of endeavors. Since it was established in 1981, its graduates have moved into the marine trades as well as construction, aerospace, building fine musical instruments, and tiny homes. It was the Boat School that unlocked the potential in their hands and minds.

“Once they’ve decided to devote themselves to being craftspeople and to craftsmanship, there’s no better place to start their journey,” said instructor Bruce Blatchley. “It’s a very nurturing environment.”

“The bigger mission has nothing to do with building boats.

It has to do with fulfilling dreams. Most of the people who come here are dreamers—in a good way. That’s where I come in.”

The boatbuilding projects the school undertakes are carefully selected to offer students the broadest exposure to different techniques and challenges. Thus, visitors are likely to find a dizzying array of projects on the shop floors.

Currently, students are finishing a Rozinante, a doubleended sloop originally drawn by L. Francis Herreshoff. A sliding seat double rowing wherry prototype from Turn Point Design was completed in time to participate in SEVENTY48, a human-powered race from Tacoma to Port Townsend.

Final touches are being completed on the Clean Bay, a stout composite boat that will carry electric power and find a life on Puget Sound at Port Ludlow Bay. This working boat’s job will be to offer free pump outs to boaters anchored in that part of the Sound, helping to ensure healthy water quality in the area for many years to come.

Sea Shantey Sing-a-Long

Come sing sea shanties by the seashore in the Marina Room!

Come all you young fellows and gals who follow the sea! Come sing and learn about the work songs that were sung aboard tall ships during the Great Age of Sail. The Sea Shantey Sing-a-Long happens on Friday and Saturday nights of the Festival starting at 7 PM in the Marina Room.

It took coordinated team work to hoist the sails, yards, and anchor before there were steam, hydraulic, and mechanical power to do the heavy lifting like there is today. The rhythmic shanties did just that—the call and response songs got the crew to pull at the same time and synchronized their steps to make the most efficient work. We really sing history as we keep these songs alive that may have been sung on a Cape Horner over a hundred years ago.

Sailors also sung forebitters or songs of leisure to pass the time—these might be popular ballads of the time or ditties heard at a tavern or music hall. At the sing-a-long we sing work songs, forebitters, and more. People are still writing songs about sailors, skippers, and the sea, so you are also likely to hear modern sea and river songs, often sung by the song writers themselves! You don’t need to be a great singer to sing shanties; in fact, we often bring shower singers to their first public performance. You will be able to join in on the chorus by the time the last round of the song is reached, and everyone will get a chance to lead or request a song, or just sit back and enjoy the music!

TE R

When it comes to circumnavigations, adventure on the high seas, and expertise in what it means to live a full life led by the sail, there are few whose experience can be bested by Lin Pardey. Having completed over 200,000 miles on the seas including an east-about and west-about circumnavigation, Lin and her lifetime sailing partner and husband Larry have inspired sailors throughout their entire lives with their journeys and writings. We are incredibly honored to host Lin Pardey again at the Wooden Boat Festival.

Lin has been the recipient of many of the highest honors sailors can receive, including the Ocean Cruising Club Lifetime Achievement Award, the International Oceanic Award, and induction into the Cruising World Hall of Fame. Although Larry now lives in assisted living after the onset and advancement of parkinsonian dementia, Lin is still sailing strong and has logged over 9,000 miles in the past year from her home base in New Zealand.

One Simple Question

Modern sailing entrepreneurs, documentarians, and all-around awesome power-couple Teresa and Ben Carey are bringing their energy and enthusiasm to this year's Wooden Boat Festival! Teresa and Ben have sailed all around the Atlantic and in 2014 released their critically acclaimed documentary, One Simple Question, which details their experiences of living on a small boat and seeking out icebergs in far northern seas. Don’t miss a special screening of this film on Saturday at 7:00 PM on the Adventure Stage! The screening will be followed by a Q&A session to allow for an even greater exploration of the themes and stories shown in the film.

* pre-festival seminar register at woodenboat.org/seminars

If you miss the movie screening, it’s not your only opportunity to learn from these two! Teresa and Ben will be taking to the stages all throughout Wooden Boat Festival to discuss their ideas and expertise on a wide variety of sailing topics including single-handed sailing, traditional navigation, and rules of the seafaring road. Today the young couple are co-owners of Morse Alpha Expeditions, a coastal and offshore sailing school based out of Rockland Maine where they continue to share their passion for life on the water.

George Buehler

Carl Chamberlain Yacht Design and Construction

Posthumous Award

Boat Building and Design George began designing boats in the 1970s during the revival of interest in wooden boats and wooden boatbuilding. His approach was always from the point of view that it was more important to ‘get it done’ than it was to fret over the nuances of the building process. His design career started as a matter of designing a boat that he himself could build and sail. More designs extended that initial experience and, with years of honing, expanded into a broad swath of devotees and fans. He believed a boat is a statement of expression and needs to be valid for each individual. It is with much sadness that this award is given posthumously, as he truly deserved to have these honor and accolades while he was still alive, but fate stepped in and dictated otherwise. An author of multiple books, and you would need to search far and wide to find a more outspoken and passionate proponent of boats and boat design.

Jim “Kiwi” Ferris Community Spirit and Culture Over 35 years ago, with a few sticks of wood and a couple of tarps, Jim “Kiwi” Ferris and the late Charlie Moore started Edensaw Woods in Port Townsend. Now, three decades later, the business has grown into 80,000 square feet of warehouse and nearly 50 employees in two locations. Kiwi has been one of the figurative table legs that has helped hold up the wooden boat industry in the Northwest. Wood from Edensaw can be seen on boats all over the world, from multimillion-dollar yachts to small kayaks and canoes, as well as homes, furniture, and much more. His influence, mentorship, and leadership in the boat building industry and in the Port Townsend community is unparalleled and unequaled in the Northwest.

Carl has been a mainstay around the Port Townsend waterfront for many years and was around for the early days of the wooden boat revival in the 1970s. He is an excellent designer with a hand and an eye that show off his many years of diligent study and work in the design field. It is noteworthy that when the renowned designer/builder George Calkins was getting ready to build his dream motorsailer in the late 1970s, he reached out to Carl for help in the design and building plans. Carl has had several projects that the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding has built in years past.

Carl is a quiet and calm man with a demeanor that up front would never hint of the reserve of intelligence and talent contained within.

Brion Toss Maritime Hall of Fame Award Master Rigger Brion Toss is best known as the author of The Complete Rigger’s Apprentice, first printed in 1984 and today is considered an authoritative text on the subject of rigging.

Brion’s career as a Master Rigger was born from an obsession with knots over 40 years ago, which led him to work with some of the finest traditional riggers in the world. As his expertise and passion for the art of rigging grew, Brion’s education was taken to the highest levels, rigging everything from tiny daysailers to huge square-riggers. With his extensive experience, Brion is able to take the ageless wisdom of traditional rigging and apply it to the materials and applications of today, pursuing the challenge of designing the ideal rig, that unique combination of details best suited to a particular boat and its particular crew.

SMITTEN by

SPIDSGATTERS

By Kaci Cronkhite

D

uring my first walk around Port Townsend marinas in 2001, I stopped, gobsmacked, to admire a beautiful double-ender called Eio. Her alluring curves and graceful sheer got me—arrow straight to the heart. Smitten!

Fleeting, flirty thoughts crossed my mind. Oh, my. Aren’t you pretty? My imagination raced off to images of us sailing up to the San Juans, the Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound.

“Take a number,” said a man standing near me on the dock. I recognized that look in his eyes. “You’re 127th in line for that one.” He wasn’t joking. There were “very, very, very few” of these curvy double-enders in the region, he warned. Best guesstimate 5, at that time. “In town?” I asked.

“No, in the whole USA. All of them beloved by their owners, with a line of hopefuls, like us, waiting.”

Soon, I learned the design originated in Denmark and was called “spidsgatter” (aka spitzgatter in German). The word, when translated, simply meant “two butts” or “two pointy ends.” Scandinavian craftspeople (Vikings and all) had been voyaging in double-ended boats forever and bending wood into crazy gorgeous curves that could survive the North Sea and Baltic—fishing, as well as lifeboats—for centuries, if not millennia.

Having sailed all my ocean “firsts” and a circumnavigation in larger “double-enders” from other designers, I knew about the well-tested North Sea characteristics. But, with the spidsgatter “racing class” the Danes had taken curves and boat speed to a whole new level.

In the 1920s, boatbuilders there took the best of their high-rigged, narrow, go-fast designs (Tumlarens, Dragons, 6-meters) and merged the fast features with the interior volume and safety of big-beamy fishing boats. The goal was an affordable boat that “families” could race and cruise.

Three designers won the nationwide competition: Aage Utzon, a prolific naval architect (whose son designed the Sydney Opera House); George Berg, a beloved engineer/builder and design mentor to K. Aage Nielsen; and, M. S. J. Hansen, a persnickety builder/designer nicknamed “the perfectionist.” Six sizes were specified based on the square meter of sail area (m2): 20, 26, 30, 38, 45, and 55m2 with an overall length in feet of approximately 18, 20, 22, 26, 28, and 30 feet, respectively. Less than 200 were ever built. Less than half survive worldwide.

Eio was an Utzon 38. So were the next few spidsgatters I found: Decapo, in Mystery Bay, owned by former WBF director, Scott Swatner; Pia, owned by Olympia woodworker, Ahoi Mensch; and, Skoal, owned by author and WoodenBoat contributor, Robert Moss in Brentwood, BC. Bob’s WB article was the only one in the world I could find in English (“Scandinavian Jewels” Issue 24, 1978).

Like a magnet, Port Townsend attracted more spidsgatters: Ørn, a 55m2 was restored in Point Hudson Boat Shop; Bitten, a 20m2 arrived on a trailer, enroute to Vashon Island; Peer, 30m2 called in, sailing from Alaska to Seattle; and Malle, a 30m2 arrived by truck. Owners and smitten researchers of other spidsgatters in the west sent emails: Fri, an Utzon 45m2 on Bainbridge, and 38s in California—Aida (an Utzon), Cito and Bout aka Helma (both Hansen), and Havlit (a Berg).

In line for years, I resolved to admire these beauties from a distance and “never own a wooden boat.” Then, in 2007, Pax (a Hansen 45m2) appeared in my inbox. Two arrows to the heart. Two weeks later, she was mine. The start of #woodenboatfestival

JORDAN POLLACK has been working to keep people safe at Festival for nearly two decades. He helped develop dock safety protocol, advised Festival staff on bringing security services in house, and has transformed the medical team into a well-trained, professional group that staffs all four days of Festival.

From marking tripping hazards to eliminating wasps nests, providing a safety orientation to all 500+ volunteers each year to helping direct traffic on setup day, Jordan puts in long hours every year before the gates even open. Once Festival is underway, Jordan can be found staffing the Medical tent or tirelessly walking the grounds with his volunteer medical crew.

In his “day job,” Jordan coordinates a cadre of instructors delivering wildland fire instruction and first aid courses around the Pacific Northwest. He coordinates medical services for a wide variety of events in the area, from Centrum occasions to STP (Seattle to Portland—an annual bicycling event with over 8,000 riders). He also currently serves as fire chief of the Breitenbush Fire Department in the mountains of central Oregon, and is a regional representative for Firefighters Crossing Borders in the State of Sinaloa, Mexico.
