Description:
Festivals are the lifeblood of the classic boat world. They incentivize boat owners far and wide to give their craft a little extra love and care so they can proudly share the fruits of their labor with friends old and new.
Some boat festivals seem to possess a special recipe. These gatherings of maritime culture go far beyond just displaying nice boats – they foster a celebratory atmosphere with music, vendors, events, and most of all community.
We’re gathering the folks in charge of three festivals which exemplify this magical confluence of good boats, people, and experiences to gain some insight into their “special recipes.”
Speakers:
Paul Stephanus | GM & Director, Australian Wooden Boat Festival
Loïc Hénaff | Former Président, Douarnenez Maritime Festival
Maël Terry | Maritime Coordinator, Douarnenez Maritime Festival
Barb Trailer | Director, Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival
Jake Beattie | Executive Director, Northwest Maritime Center

Fraternité!
Very fun to hear of the different Festivals. Well done! Joyful fun!!! That’s what we all need no matter where we live. It made me grab a beer!! Thank you all for being part of this presentation.
Happy to pay to attend but the public support and having an open festival is an excellent concept.
