Join The Center for Wooden Boats for a day of racing in our Norm Blanchard W.O.O.D. Regatta. They will be accepting registrations for racers 12 years old and up starting August 5. The regatta will be a day long event including a BBQ after the racing (tickets sold separately).
The Center for Wooden Boats’ annual Norm Blanchard W.O.O.D. (Wooden Open & One Design) Regatta honors the best-known name in wooden boatbuilding and yachting in the Pacific Northwest. Norman C. Blanchard’s Blanchard Boat Company turned out more than 2,000 boats in 60+ years during the past century. Quality, performance and longevity are the hallmarks of Norm Blanchard.
You are welcome to use our boats during the race if you have an active sailing livery card on file or completed Youth Sailing 2 or equivalent. You can also bring your own boat. If you choose this option, be sure to let us know your boat rating (if possible) when you finalize your registration.
Separate prizes will be awarded for each class. A class is defined as 3 or more of the same type of boat. If you are bringing your own boat, but do not know the rating/handicap number of your vessel, you are still invited to race. Unrated vessels will not be competing for ranking in the races. However, we will be awarding prizes to unrated boats for a variety of categories (e.g. Best dressed, coolest boat, etc.) Stay tuned to our website for more information!
