In Festival Boats 2022

Built by previous owner Frank Klister at the Port Townsend wooden boat center in 1997. I know it has been displayed at the festival before. I recently discovered it tarped and overgrown in the woods on Guemes Island. After much negotiation, I worked a deal with Franks’s widow, and just got it home. I have a love for wooden boats and have attended the festival before. I would love to bring the boat to display, for people to enjoy, and to learn what I can from people that may remember it, and its build. I would also like to learn what I can to preserve and restore this beautiful craft. I would also like to offer it for sale if someone can convince me they love it more than me, for I am truly overwhelmed with what it will take to bring this boat back to former glory.
