Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival 2026

Captain Phyllis Woolwine, owner of Shearwater University - Maritime Education, will introduce powerful strategies for boat maneuvering - addressing boats of any size, in any conditions.  Most of the concepts will apply to all types of boats.  Specific strategies for controlling single engine vessels will be addressed, and if time, modifications for twin engines, outboards and stern-drives.  With core physics in mind, she will go over optimum strategies for maintaining full control of the vessel anywhere in the marina, in any conditions, including approaches to the dock.
