Northwest Maritime Center: Races, Classes, and Festivals

Our April SSSS General Membership meeting will feature the Northwest Maritime Center based in Port Townsend, which historically been known for its Wooden Boat Festival and more recently, the Race to Alaska.  In recent years, its courses, events, and offerings have grown exponentially.

Public Engagement Manager, Angela Hewitson, will share the menagerie of activity during this year’s Spring kick off including up to 30 different adult and youth maritime education programs, robust activity happening in their working boat shop, this year’s Wooden Boat Festival (largest in North America), small boat cruises out of Olympia, sailing journalism at its best, and much more!

In addition, Race Boss Daniel Evans will make a cameo appearance in the presentation and discuss this year’s adventure races across the Salish Seas including the audacious Race to Alaska and maximum effort SEVENTY48!

Join us and learn how you can be involved in the bustling activity across the region from student to boater, racer, presenter, and volunteer!  Visit the NWMC website at nwmaritime.org to get your initial whiff of the action!

The meeting on Tuesday evening, April 12, will be a hybrid meeting via Zoom and in-person at the Olympia Yacht Club. Doors at the Olympia Yacht Club will open at 6:30 pm.  The link to the Zoom call will be emailed to members in early April.

As with all our General Membership meetings, guests and non-members are encouraged to join us.

We hope to see you in the clubhouse or on Zoom.
