THE
FIRST YEAR
Looking back over development o f The
Center f o r Wooden Boats, we r e a l i z e d
t h a t the i d e a has been " p u b l i c " f o r
e x a c t l y one year. Here are a few
h i g h l i g h t s o f our a c t i v i t i e s d u r i n g
the f i r s t 12 months:
* In October, 1977, we f o r m a l l y
announced f o r m a t i o n o f the Center a t
FISH EXPO, h e l d i n S e a t t l e , throwing
t o g e t h e r a booth d i s p l a y , b r o c h u r e s ,
p o s t e r s and o t h e r m a t e r i a l s a few
days b e f o r e the e x p o s i t i o n opened.
The booth f e a t u r e d Marty Loken and
G l o r i a Grandaw's Poulsbo boat, Shine,
which helped a t t r a c t hundreds o f
fishermen t o our d i s p l a y .
* Then, e a r l y i n 1978, we p a r t i c i p a t e d modestly i n the S e a t t l e Boat
Show, s h a r i n g a Kingdome booth w i t h
our f r i e n d s a t Northwest Seaport.
* In June, j u s t i n time f o r our
second annual S e a t t l e Wooden Boat
Show, we e s t a b l i s h e d membership f e e s
and o t h e r " r u l e s and r e g s , " a l l o w i n g
us t o a c c e p t d o n a t i o n s and o f f e r
t a n g i b l e — i f upcoming—benefits to
members.
* The S e a t t l e Wooden Boat Show
( J u l y 1-4, 1978), o r g a n i z e d and
sponsored by The Center f o r Wooden
Boats, was a tremendously s u c c e s s f u l
event...with d i s p l a y s o f boats and
other t r a d i t i o n a l maritime g o o d i e s ,
rowing and s a i l i n g r a c e s , f i l m s ,
s l i d e shows, demonstrations o f boatb u i l d i n g s k i l l s , booths d i s p l a y i n g
t o o l s , hardware and f a s t e n i n g s ,
chantey s i n g e r s and f u n d - r a i s i n g
a u c t i o n s . The Center emerged w i t h a
few thousand d o l l a r s i n the bank, our
f i r s t o f f i c i a l p a i d members, and more
than a few p l a n s f o r the f u t u r e .
* A b i g s t e p was taken August 1,
1978, when members approved the
Center's Bylaws and A r t i c l e s o f I n c o r p o r a t i o n , making p o s s i b l e our

* F i n a l l y , we s e t our f i r s t annual
b u s i n e s s meeting f o r October 3 and
e l e c t e d o f f i c e r s and t r u s t e e s (see

including:
* 14'-7" M e t l a k a t l a Boat, purchased by an anonymous member f o r
d o n a t i o n t o the Center. The boat was
b u i l t 50 y e a r s ago i n the Tsimshian

haven't y e t r e s e a r c h e d h e r background.
She was donated by Loren A v e n e l l , o f
Redmond.
* Another boat we should mention,
although i t doesn't b e l o n g t o the
Center, i s the 31-foot Navy rowing
g i g Dick Wagner purchased l a s t year.
T h i s boat needs a l o t o f work,
o b v i o u s l y , but Center v o l u n t e e r s
cannot c o n t i n u e t h e r e s t o r a t i o n begun
l a s t year i n P o r t Townsend u n t i l a

A 20' x 40'

ideas?

FROM DICK WAGNER'S DINING-ROOM TABLE
Dick Wagner's assignment f o r Volume One, Number
One was simple.
" J u s t t u r n on the genius and

"Something t h a t w i l l awe and i n s p i r e , o r a t
l e a s t make somebody mad enough t o come up w i t h
t h e i r own i d e a o f what the Center should look
like..."

To quote a b i t from Wagner's scrawled n o t e s :
"No s i t e & no budget r e a l l y l e a v e s e v e r y t h i n g
to the i m a g i n a t i o n . . . Entrance e x p e r i e n c e - t r y t o l e s s e n the d r e a r y impact o f the p a r k i n g
l o t , a necessary e v i l .
Make the entrance, by
l a n d o r sea, a s u r p r i s e . By l a n d , you f i l t e r
through two man-made h i l l s ( e x e c u t i v e wine
c e l l a r under one h i l l ; e x e c u t i v e sauna under
the o t h e r ) . Coming t o t h e s h o r e l i n e , a c h o i c e
of which way t o go--to the l e f t l e a d s t o a
covered boat e x h i b i t with g r a p h i c d i s p l a y s and
a l i b r a r y u p s t a i r s . . . w a l l s l i n e d w i t h books
and f i l i n g c a b i n e t s f i l l e d with boat p l a n s .
Great h i d e o u t on a r a i n y day.
Outside t h i s
b u i l d i n g you can take a f l o a t o u t t o the
boathouse ( r e n t a l boats, r e p a i r and s t o r a g e
area, with meeting room and d i r e c t o r ' s o f f i c e
upstairs.)
I f you take t h e e n t r y path t o the
r i g h t you a r r i v e a t the boatshop. V i s i t o r ' s
g a l l e r y and l o f t f l o o r above. From the secondf l o o r view deck, take a b r i d g e a c r o s s t o the
boathouse and v i s i t o r ' s dock.
(Bridge has 18'
c l e a r a n c e , enough f o r s m a l l boats moored
inside.)
A l s o , boat ramp and p a r k i n g f o r t r a i l e r s i s
needed. Probably should have warehouse f o r
general storage.
T o t a l l a n d and water a r e a —
300' by 500'.
Anyone have any b e t t e r i d e a s ?
