Great job ,is no work it's a hobby 😊.

Excellent!

Brilliant! Brava Carolyn! Bravo Ernie! Thanks for your hospitality and few years back, when I studied at the boat school in Port Hadlock!

My interest in Port Townsend begins with the story of Tally Ho! Great video!🇨🇦

I think what is misleading is the title of the video : the origin story. otherwise it is a great video !!!!

This very nice video, failed to provide the correct information. The boat festival was started by Samuel Connor and Mary Kearn Samuel Had a wooden boat construction shop underneath Carol Hasse. Sail loft. Tim Synder got involved in the second festival. Samuel and Tim filed the paper work for the wooden boat foundation. After the first festival. Paula Calderon was director of the 1979 and 1980. festival. The actual current phone number of the wooden boat foundation is actually Samuel Connor personal phone number dated back till early 1975!!!! There is one picture of Samuel Connor and Walter Henderson. I think it would be nice to contact Samuel to tell part of the wooden boat festival story.

This is in my UA-cam feed simply because I've been following the reconstruction of Tally Ho which has happened in and around Port Townsend. This is a lovely video about a community of boat lovers committed to these boats. I've met many of them over the years as Leo and his crew worked their magic on Tally Ho. I watch this and feel envy that I've never found a passion like this or a community like this. I hope Tally Ho is able to get back from their shakedown cruise up the coast for this year's Festival. Alas, I won't be attending, but I look forward to reports about the event. Deep respect to all the mavericks who've chosen to commit their lives to wooden boats.

I appreciate what you are attempting to share with all of us who don't know very much I am so impressed I am so jealous. Thank you so much

Great video and stories. It was fun to know that I've had a number of similar experiences as Carolyn, though separated in time. I was a student at SEA and sailed on RV Westward, I did a short trip on the Pride II (and sailed in Pride I as well), and learned ships carpentry and sparmaking while restoring the SV Elissa. It looked like Carolyn also sailed in Dove (?), so that may have been under Captain Will Gates. I worked and learned from Will during the Elissa project. He is such a great person and sailor.

FINE BUSINESS!!! CHEERS from S..W Van ISLE!

Beautiful place, beautiful boats, beautiful people.

I remember well when we wet-welled and refrigerated all our AK seine boats. Those were a busy and fun few years!

I'm a lifelong sailor from Canada, married an American gal we ended up living in port Townsend. So attended the wooden boat festival. Rigging is of great interest to us all so I went to a talk by a professional rigger st this event. The speaker was a woman who had just crewed on a delivery to San Francisco. She spent twenty minutes explaining how she came to the conclusion that wind instruments on the masthead were really worthwhile???? Apparently prior to having actually sailed on a boat equipped with masthead wind Instruments she in her so called professional capacity had advised clients that they were worthless. Then she spent more time apologizing for having misinforming so many people. OK this is a professional rigger who we would assume knew something about sailing. By now a lot of the audience were getting a bit twitchy and restless. Then there was a Q andA session. Someone asked how often should you replace standing rigging. Her reply was they say you should replace it every ten years. Next question. Myself and several other folks got up and walked out. This was my exposure to the professionalism of the riggers in port Townsend. I could have gotten as much information about rigging from reading a 20 year old copy of mad magazine. I'm sure she was an exception to the other aspects of sailing and boat maintainence but I was appaled

No wonder Tally Ho was built in PT !

Great video, wonderfully done. I'm a retired boat lover at 81 and this type of attitude and determination will get the job done.

Nice job Ernie. Nice to see so many of our local gang proudly getting "into it".

Well done!

I have nothing against women in the trades. But I have worked in the trades all my life and my observations are that women enter male spaces and then attempt to change those spaces to suit themselves at the expense of men. I can’t think of any examples where men seek to enter traditional women’s vocations and then drive women out of those spaces. None. Yet there are numerous examples of the opposite.

A mellow presentation that suits the spirit of such a special event. Those of us that pass through appreciate the efforts that created and sustain the endeavor. Cheers!

Hey I know her from somewhere 😊

Lovely video. Thanks again Ernie for all your contributions

Thank you, beautiful work.

Port Townsend is one of the reasons I’ve moved to the Pacific Northwest course I couldn’t afford to buy a place in Port Townsend so I had to settle for Sequim, which is way cool also

Count me in from blueridge mountains nc

Wonderful video! I enjoyed getting some insights into how the maritime trades developed in Port Townsend through the eyes of Earnie. Port Townsend is rich with characters in the trade and it would be great to hear some more history through their eyes.

Two sailboats I have owned have been in the Festival. Interlude a 33' Alden Malabar Jr. and Puffin a 26' Garden Vashon Island Cutter. I in fact bought Puffin in 1977 in Port Townsend after she returned from sailing the south Pacific.

So real& surreal, happiness for those who were there, have been there& will be there. What trip of a race. Thank you!

so... ballast

Hello sir, You made the comment that you made your boat.... I am looking for this exact set up for my own self inflicted adventure. Any thoughts or recommendations would be super helpful!

#4--get Americano at Better Living Through Coffee.

Thinking that band just mighta been up early R2AK sendoff in PT!

מרגש לראות❤

If that's not playing on Malolo's radio all day... it'll be on mine (Narrows Minded)

Did the youth team from Orcas island finish in Ketchikan ?

great video, Bravo Zulu boys!

OK I second @mghemke but also, HOW? Chat GPT? Race admin genius (well we know that, but with music)?

Such a great race! Thanks to all and congratulations!! It should be every year !!

אהד כל הכבד על ההשיג המרשים לגוף ולנפש , אנחנו גאים בך , אתה אדם שמפיץ טוב , שזה בימינו הגועשים לא עיניין של מה בכך . . . אתה משמש השראה אמיתית לכולנו .

To the record executive/R2AK race boss/Media team that made all this great music possible for this year's R2ak, I only have one question: Where can I buy the album?

Thank you for the dreams and the memories

The wheels stayed on ! ❤ "it's hard but I like it" 👏 👏 👏

ah ha.... well done..

Truly inspirational. Gives me hope for the future.

Congratulations on your accomplishment and finishing the passage to Alaska. I had my doubts if this could be done safely on this boat, but you were able to cross the finish line with a smile.

And I thought the Hobie 16 was a wet boat.

Congratulations!!

Fantastic!

"Most irritating parts" LOL

Awesome!!

I covet this trophy more than anything else in the world
