32nd Annual Wooden Boat Festival
September 5-7, 2008
The
premiere wooden boat gathering in North America, Port Townsend's Wooden
Boat Festival is also the most educational and beautifully located
wooden boat event in the world. Featuring 200 wooden vessels, a who's
who of wooden boat experts and thousands of wooden boat enthusiasts,
there's something to do, someone to meet or a boat to board at every
turn. Expanded a little each year, the festival honors its traditions
while inviting energetic debate about the latest innovation.
Check out this year's schedule and boats.
