Visiting boats will be offered a free berth in the museum harbor after registration. \nOrganizer Bert van Baar\, who runs the Boat Building School at the Willemsoord complex and is a teacher boatbuilding at the Hout & Meubilerings College in Amsterdam\, says\, “Because in several other countries Wooden Boat Festivals have been successfully held for years\, this was a reason for me to organize  something similar in the Netherlands\, where wooden boats have been built for 10.000 years!” \nJet Sluik adds\, “The Dutch Wooden Boat Festival fits in seamlessly with our desire to maintain traditional shipbuilding. Personally\, I am therefore happy to help this event for lovers of beautiful wooden boats. ” \nFMI:\nBert van Baar\ninfo@dutchwoodenboatfestival.nl\nJet Sluik\ninfo@traditioneleschepenbeurs.nl URL:https://smallboatsmonthly.com/event/first-dutch-wooden-boat-festival/ LOCATION:Willemsoord\, Willemsoord 73\, Den Helder\, 1781 AS\, Netherlands ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://smallboatsmonthly.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/default_featured_borderless.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20190711T190000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20190711T210000 DTSTAMP:20260508T055407 CREATED:20190410T213826Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190411T160038Z UID:15012-1562871600-1562878800@smallboatsmonthly.com SUMMARY:The Dramatized History of the Bantry Bay Gig DESCRIPTION:Come to WoodenBoat’s Brooklin campus where Mick Delap\, a writer\, historian and avid sailor in retirement after a career in journalism at the BBC\, and Apprenticeshop founder Lance Lee will host an interestingly presented history of the Bantry Bay Gigs of International Atlantic Challenge fame. \nDelap\, with a cast of actors\, will perform a theatrical version of important moments in the gigs’ history accompanied by a duo from Belfast\, Maine who will play Irish music on authentic instruments. \nFollowing that\, Lee will describe the modern history of the gig after it was “rediscovered” in 1944 and he’ll talk about the beginnings of the Atlantic Challenge and its mission to further international camaraderie among sailors.

We will sail on Thursday\, Friday\, and Saturday. This year\, we plan a one-way sail from Herrick Bay to the waters off the campground\, where we’ll anchor\, so secure anchoring ability is especially important. The next day will be a return to Herrick Bay. Final haulouts\, trailering\, and departure will take place on Sunday\, July 28\, vacating the campground before noon and the boatyard as soon as possible. \nClick here for full details about the event and how to sign up. \nBoating safety is always a priority at the SRR\, and the fleet is accompanied at all times by a chase fleet\, usually six fast powerboats. Participating boats are required to meet a checklist of safety equipment. Our safety demonstrations in years past have included a firing of emergency flares and a deliberate capsize and self-recovery. We take safe seamanship seriously. \nE-mail is our preferred method of communication. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can. We hope to see you this summer on the coast of Maine! \nFor more information\, contact \nTom Jackson ; or\nDavid Wyman\, .
