Boat School Sail-In Community Event

Sail-In Poster

You don’t have to own a sailboat or even a boat of any kind to come down to lower Port Hadlock and enjoy an afternoon of food and fun. Saturday, August 7th is the date for the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding’s second annual Sail-In. The event begins at 1:00 pm and ends around 6:00 pm.

There will be free food – hamburgers and hot dogs – provided by the Boat School and a beer garden at the Ajax Café across the street. The community boat, Onward, built at the Boat School by high school students and community volunteers will be in the water to take participants out for a sail and row. Tours will be available on vessels such as the M/V Lotus, a 93 foot cruising houseboat built in 1909 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Tours of the Boat School, including information about the boats currently under construction, will also be available.

ALL ARE INVITED! This very informal gathering is for people of all ages. Come down and get to know the Boat School. There are great things happening down in lower Port Hadlock, come see for your self. No need to RSVP, just show up and enjoy.

The Boat School’s mission is to teach and preserve the skills and crafts associated with fine wooden boatbuilding and other maritime arts, with emphasis on the development of the individual as a crafts person. The school enrolls up to 50 local, national and international students each year in vocational training programs. The Boat School also builds boats on commission.
