Twilight Race Series
CWB will again be hosting a casual Friday night race series in 2009, inviting sailors with a current check-out and youth program graduates (with instructor permission) to participate in relaxed buoy sailing on Lake Union. Blanchard Junior Knockabouts and El Toro dinghies will race in separate starts beneath summer’s setting sun. Novice sailors are encouraged to either crew on a Blanchard or race El Toros to gain familiarity with racing rules and tight-quarter boat handling. Bring a smile and your sense of humor, please, this is not Olympic competition! Call or register online (preferred) http...

The Center for Wooden Boats offers an opportunity to experience the dimensions of an earlier time, to put your hands on the oars of a graceful pulling boat or the tiller of a traditional wooden catboat. With help from master craftsmen, you can learn to steambend an oak frame, cast an oarlock, sew a canvas ditty bag, splice a line or caulk a seam. The Center for Wooden Boats is a hands on maritime museum. Its purpose is to preserve our rich, vital and varied small craft heritage by preserving both the artifacts and the time-tested maritime skills. Our aim is to provide an educational adventure, through participation, in our small craft heritage.
