SUMMARY:SCALLYWAG CAMP 2024
DESCRIPTION:SCALLYWAG\, John Welsford’s newest creation\, will be the second group build and again perhaps the fastest way to get on the water regardless of your boat building skill level. Be one of the first to build SCALLYWAG with the assistance of the designer and Howard Rice. Both gents are highly skilled and you will not only have their undivided attention as you build together but you will also have the chance to drive away with a highly accurate hull to finish. Then help from these two doesn’t stop there\, online support\, phone video discussions are part of our commitment to help you get on the water! The build will take place in the Great Lakes at a boat shop on an 80 acre estate with housing for builders just a stones throw away. Contact Howard at thepocketyacht@gmail.com\, thepocketyacht.com \n  \nLodging\nThe build site is on an 80 acre private home estate and our hosts offer their home for builders. There are three bedrooms available so please let us know if you would like one. There is also superb camping on site and both instructors plan to camp. If you wish to pitch a tent let us know. The bathroom\, kitchen and shower facilities in the house are shared by everyone. \nWhen\nSCALLYWAG Camp is scheduled to begin at 8am on Monday morning June 24th\, and concludes mid day on July 5th. Builders are welcome to move their tools into the shop on June 23rd between 12 noon and 5pm. Lodging will be available starting June 23rd.\n \nWork Days\nThe build begins on day one with a short orientation session to help familiarize each builder with the build process and management of the shop space. Each work day will begin at 8am and end at 5pm unless we are having too much fun and decide push on into the evening. Lunch is an hour at noon. Each lunch break will be an opportunity for the group to engage in a small boat chalk talk by the build instructor pertaining to the boats being built\, small boat use or other related topics\, which builders request.  \n** Birds Mouth Mast Option **\nOne of the elements of the SCALLYWAG build that seems a bit daunting to builders is the construction of a hollow\, tapered birds mouth mast. Last year before the 2023 SCAMP Camp the option was offered to produce masts during the Camp by working some evenings. As it turned out everyone enrolled selected the option and masts were built during the build. This option is being offered again in 2024 at a cost of $950. This cost covers the cost of materials including Sitka Spruce\, epoxy\, fillers and the instructors time. By any measure it is a bargain. Please select this option if interested as materials need to be sourced prior to the build. \nBoat Trailer\nYou will need to bring a trailer for your new boat. It is suggested that a galvanized steel boat trailer is the most economical and actually perfectly suited for carrying your new boat. Any trailer with adjustable fore and aft bunks will work. A trailer with a long tongue makes it easy to back up while launching and retrieving.

SUMMARY:Dutch Wooden Boat Festival
DESCRIPTION:In 2024 we will do it again and again at the same time as the Jutterhaven Days. Those who ‘didn’t know anything’ about the previous festival and were a bit surprised: put on your brave shoes and COME! Above all\, feel welcome! \nOur new Festival will also take place at Willemsoord in Den Helder. \n  \nWhat is the Dutch WoodenBoat Festival? \nThe Dutch WoodenBoat Festival was first held in July 2019 as a Dutch festival for wooden boats. \nThis festival is not only an ode to the centuries-long wooden boat building tradition that boosted our economic development\, but also to the warm feelings that many enthusiasts get when they see… \nWhat is there to do? \nSeeing and ‘experiencing’ wooden boats and everything related to them; meeting like-minded builders and paddlers\, admiring all the beauty on and out of the water; exhibitors with various products related to wooden ships; presentations\, speakers while enjoying food and music.\nThere is an ABBA\, the Amateur Boat Construction Award. A boat is even being worked on. The boat building schools do demonstrations.\nWe want a second hand market on Saturday\, model builders at the weekend\, youth activities? \nIn addition to this festival\, there are also the Jutterhaven Days on Saturday and Sunday: a nice market with old crafts\, street theater\, music\, catering\, a nice initiative by Willemsoord BV. \nFriday starts with the annual Botterrace\, for the 15th time in 2024. Check out the Heldersebotters.nl website \nHow can I register? \nIt is a low budget event\, but participants with a boat or companies that want a stand must register by sending an email to bert.van.baar@kpnmail.nl. \nVisitors have free access everywhere\, along the quays in the halls\, the workshops and they can possibly visit the ships after approval by the owner.

SUMMARY:Atlantic Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Every two years\, a dozen nations convene for a friendly competition and cross cultural gathering were crews showcase their seamanship skills in a series of rowing\, sailing\, docking\, knot tying and navigation events\, and build friendly ties with the international crews.\n\nBeyond on-the-water skills\, the Contest will further global understanding and build friendly ties internationally. is one small way we can help move quarreling humanity toward a path of cooperation and peace. We believe getting young people together in boats\, learning difficult manual skills\, competing for shared success and living and eating together for 12 days has the power to transcend cultural\, political and linguistic barriers. Indeed\, this is the basis for the development of trust\, connection and friendship.\n​\nContestants are young adults: all crew members must be over 15; at least half will be under 22. \n\n \nThe Contest events take place in the Bantry Bay gigs\, which are copies of 18th-century French Navy Captain’s gigs. These vessels are 38ft long and are powered by three sails and ten oars. Each nation has their own vessel for the contest. \nLance Lee\, of Rockland\, Maine\, co-founded the Atlantic Challenge International Contest of Seamanship with Bernard & Michelle Cadoret\, of France in 1984 as a way to bring young adults of different cultures together while also preserving traditional seamanship. The first two gigs Liberté and Egalité were built at the Rockport Apprenticeshop\, in Rockport\, Maine and the first Contest was held in New York City in July 1986. \nMore than 80 gigs have been built by 16 nations for participation in Atlantic Challenge. Typically 12 nations gather for the biennial Contest of Seamanship. \nThere has been a Contest every two years from 1986-2018. Atlantic Challenge USA is hosting the 2024 Contest.

SUMMARY:Small Boat Festival - pacific northwest
DESCRIPTION:This event will showcase 75 outstanding small boats in the water and an additional 25-30 on dry land. The dates are July 26-27 at Port Ludlow Marina on beautiful Port Ludlow Bay just 13 nautical miles south of Port Townsend. With terrific views of the Olympic Mountain range\, and protected waters\, the bay is perfect for a small-boat gathering—and as a bonus\, we have secured virtually all guest-moorage slips in the marina\, assuring that we’ll be able to display a wide range of small-boat designs along one contiguous dock\, and in one upland area close to the boats that are in the water. \n \nDuring the SBF\, participants with in-the-water boats will be free to row\, sail\, paddle\, pedal or motor their boats around the bay…offering rides if they wish\, or having their boats photographed for a video documentary by Off Center Harbor\, the Maine-based production company. \nWe’re already planning for a few areas of special focus: Electric small craft and human-powered small boats\, so there will be areas set aside for those boats and some presentations made on subjects like the increasing practicality of electric power; comparisons between rowing\, paddling and pedal-powered small craft; and tips on how to get beyond day use and start camp-cruising your smaller boat. \n\nShow off your boat\nEven though nearby Port Townsend hosts its big annual Wooden Boat Festival\, the SMALL BOAT FESTIVAL will absolutely not be limited to wooden boats. (Focus of the event will be on attractive and functional designs\, so we expect a lot of older fiberglass production sailboats\, along with homebuilt wooden watercraft. Everything from SCAMPs to slippery full-keel classics; and from rowing\, paddling\, pedaling and engine-powered boats to SUP’s\, canoes\, custom kayaks and other small watercraft.) \nBoats will arrive at Port Ludlow on Friday\, July 26\, and the SBF will take place all day on Saturday the 27th\, with the public invited to attend between the hours of 10 and 6. Registered skippers and their crews will enjoy dinner in the marina’s huge Pavilion tent Saturday evening\, along with terrific raffle prizes and visits from some luminaries in the world of small boats. \nReady to register?\nRegistration fee for the two-day festival will be $75 which includes \n\nin-the-water moorage or dry-land display\nthe Saturday evening dinner\n\nIf you have a small boat we’d love to have you show it at the festival. Fill out the registration form and the organizing committee will get in touch with you to work out final details. \nPlease note that you’ll need to be signed into a Google account (gmail\, youtube\, etc) in order to fill out the form – that helps us keep down the internet riffraff. If this poses a problem for you\, send us an email at pnwpocketyachters@gmail.com. \nFurther details\nTrailer launching options\nLaunching trailer boats isn’t possible inside Port Ludlow Bay\, but there are a number of ramps in the area—the best being the paved all-tides ramp at Port Townsend’s Boat Haven Marina. \nBoats can also be launched at: \n\nthe Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding in Port Hadlock (7.2 nautical miles north of Port Ludlow)\nthe Mats Mats Bay ramp (4 nautical miles to the north)\n\nOvernight parking of tow rigs is very limited at Port Hadlock and Mats Mats Bay\, and no empty boat trailers can be parked at Port Ludlow Marina\, so the best bet might be launching in Port Townsend and cruising south to Port Ludlow on Friday…or even turning the transit into a slightly longer mini-cruise by—(just for instance)—launching in Port Townsend on July 24\, overnighting in Mystery Bay on nearby Marrowstone Island that night\, then Mats Mats Bay the second night (Thursday the 25th)\, before arriving at the SMALL BOAT FESTIVAL venue by Friday afternoon\, July 26. \nCheck out time from Port Ludlow\nCheck-out from SBF moorage slips will be noon on Sunday\, unless individual boat owners wish to stay longer\, paying regular guest-slip rates to extend their stay. If skippers wish to display an additional boat\, either in the water or on land\, a reduced $50 fee will apply for the second small boat registered.
