For decades, Nigel Calder has been one of the most trusted voices in marine systems—helping boat owners understand, maintain, and troubleshoot the systems they rely on. His books and teaching have guided countless sailors toward greater confidence and self-sufficiency on the water.
Nigel is returning to the 2026 Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival to offer a series of in-depth, in-person workshops focused on two of the most critical—and often most challenging—areas for boat owners: diesel engines and electrical systems.
