Wooden Boat Foundation regattas are more than just races. They are a celebration of traditional seamanship and maritime heritage. They are a rendezvous to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow sailors met over the years. The Wooden Boat Foundation sponsors two annual regattas, and this year they are being organized with the help of the Port Townsend Sailing Association.

SHIPWRIGHTS' REGATTA:  FEBRUARY 25, 2012

  • The Skippers' Meeting is at 9am at the Northwest Maritime Center
  • Race starts at noon
  • Awards Ceremony and Refreshment at approx. 5pm at the Maritime Center


This year's regatta will once again feature:

Blue skies and breathtaking views!

Perfect winds 10-15k
A temperature above 60 degrees
A flawless start for each of you
Courteous competition

In case it doesn't, there will be free Sunrise Coffee at the skippers' meeting, free Port Townsend Brewery beer and yummy chowder at the awards ceremony; prizes awarded include two free haul-outs courtesy of Sea Marine and the Port of Port Townsend.
