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.
