- Did you know the largest Wooden Boat Festival in North America has been taking place in Port Townsend, Washington every September for the last 46 years? No? You didn’t know there was such a thing as a Wooden Boat Festival? And you didn’t know several such spectacles happen every year in the continental U.S. alone? You say you’re not quite sure where Port Townsend is? Well friends, climb aboard. And through the portal to an otherworldly place filled with skiffs, schooners, and sloops. With ketches, cutters, and coastal cruisers.
The festival is organized by and hosted at the Northwest Maritime Center whose mission is to engage and educate people of all generations in traditional and contemporary maritime life, in a spirit of adventure and discovery. Luckily, and to our amazement, we are now two of those people.

I was a speaker at the 2023 festival, where I gave a talk and slide show about my friends, BC boatbuilders Allen and Sharie Farrell, whose story I told in my book Salt on the Wind. Really enjoyed being there. Thank you for a chance to remember what it was like.
A huge fan of Phil Bolger and Harold Payson. Utter simplicity of design but practical and fun boats. Nice to see such an assortment of wooden boats and the variety of designs. Living on one of the Great Lakes where almost all boats are bleach bottles of similar design it is refreshing and I am envious of coastal boats and their heritage. Thanks for the tour.
hello. I really liked the video. I really like Phill Bolger's projects. I want to build an AS29, it's my favorite. Thanks for sharing your experiences
I needed this vlog to go on for two hours minimum. So many boats which I wanted to look at in greater detail. Thank you for doing as much as you did, it is greatly appreciated.
Geez, thanks for the comment David! There was so much going on we weren't able to see as much as we would have liked. @TravelsWithGeordie did a great video of this festival if you're looking for more. Your comment is greatly appreciated.
I was sharing the RiversWest boat shop when Bernie built your Idaho. I went along for “sea trials” on the Willamette and borrowed the boat to take my 4 year old daughter from Portland, thru the locks at Oregon City and up past Newberg. I love that boat!
Holy Cats! We have only met one other person that knew Bernie. We'd love to talk to you about this sometime. I want to paste contact info here but sometimes that makes the comment ghost. I will try and get ahold of you.
we have a gmail account that is "baby blues by bolger" at said service provider. Send us a message!
@@babybluesbyphilbolger I sent you an email.
Thanks for letting us tag along! Nice boat too! BestRoy
Heck Yeah Roy! We have been catching up on your vids & having lots of fun watching @emmabuildsbirbie build your design. Cheers!
I'm so impressed with Emma's work, and how she can makes an empty garage into an "edge of your seat" dramatic video! The girl has tallent and I'm excited to watch each new video!!! We wooden boat folks are kindred spirits! I'd love to get out to the festival, by the way, but it is quite the ways from our location in Ontario! That said, I'm hopeful the stars will align and I'll make it at one point! Keep posting, your videos, they are a joy! AllthebestRoy @@babybluesbyphilbolger
