Classic Boat Festival:

Judges

2022 JUDGES

HEAD JUDGE: ROB ABERNETHY

Rob found his passion for wooden boats while attending Sheridan College, where he studied furniture design. After attending the Wooden Boat School in Port Townsend, WA., he had the opportunity to work alongside Paul Gartside, followed by years of servicing the wooden boat community on Southern Vancouver Island. His entrepreneurial endeavors led him to form a partnership with Jean Gaudin. Their company, Abernethy & Gaudin Boatbuilders Ltd., has been building and restoring classic boats since 1999.

MARTYN CLARK

Martyn is the author of Seamanship Under Sail and numerous travel and nautical articles published in N. America, the U.K. and Australia. For several years he was Transport
Canada’s sole consultant examiner for sailing ship endorsements. He is past master of the schooners Robertson II, Pacific Swift and the American privateer-replica Lynx, among others. In the 1970’s he fi shed commercially for the Prince Rupert Fisherman’s Co-op and has been involved in boat building and marine surveying in Canada and Europe. Martyn is the co-founder and former chair of the Canadian Sail Training Association, past director of the American Sail Training Association (now Tall Ships America) and former executive-director of SALTS, the Maritime Museum of BC and the Los Angeles Maritime Institute. He and his wife, Margaret have collectively logged over 200,000 offshore miles under sail.

BETSY DAVIS

Betsy Davis brings over 40 years of management experience in corporate, small business, and non-profit leadership to her role as Executive Director of the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding. Following 14 years at Microsoft, Betsy acquired a century-old wooden boat named Glorybe, attended Seattle Central College’s boatbuilding program, then worked alongside other students there to rebuild Glorybe after she burned and sank in a marina fire. Betsy then served for eleven years as Executive Director of The Center for Wooden Boats before relocating to the Olympic Peninsula where she now serves as Executive Director of the Boat School. Under her watch the school has added a new Marine Systems diploma program and made over $3 million of improvements to equipment and facilities on the now 7-acre waterfront campus. As a lifelong resident of the Northwest, Betsy savors time near and on the water.

CHRIS EARL

Chris started out as a young boy watching Maurice Gronlund (and at times getting in the way), building and repairing wooden boats on the Fraser River. He joined the yard in 1977 and fished commercially on his own boat during the summer. He was part of the crew when Maurice built the Ocean Twilight and the Ocean Radiant. Chris worked with Maurice until 1993, at which time Maurice retired and sold the shipyard to Chris. Gronlund Boatworks continues to rebuild and maintain commercial and pleasure wooden vessels in a traditional yard, where the smell of oakum and yellow cedar still perfumes the air. Chris adds an in-depth knowledge of West Coast workboats to the Classic Boat Festival.

CHAD GHESEGER

Chad grew up in Surrey B.C. His first true introduction to boats was through SALTS. Martyn and Margaret Clark were instrumental in opening his eyes to the beauty of wooden traditional boats. Chad sailed on two offshore adventures on the Pacific Swift to the South Pacific. The Clarkes taught Chad seamanship and life skills that took him from trainee to bosun then used those skills for a career in commercial fishing, starting with Martyns’ brother Paul in the small but tough cold moulded named Adrianna. He moved from seasonal gillnetters and trollers to big draggers year round.
In 1994 Chad attended the North West School of Wooden Boatbuilding located in Port Townsend Washington. He returned in 1996 for a course on restoring wooden boats. In 2001 he graduated from the fine furniture program at Selkirk College.

Chad started his own shop in 2008 where he repairs and rebuilds workboats and yachts with an emphasis on preserving craft and history from 6’-130’.

Chad is a well-respected and dedicated craftsman in the wooden boat trade.

TONY GROVE

After completing a four-year boatbuilding apprenticeship tat started in 1980, Tony honed his skills as a shipwright specializing in wooden boat restoration, construction, and interior building, and has worked for various companies and private clients around the West Coast. Tony has published a number of articles, has lectured for various groups and classes and has done consulting work on boat interior design and manufacturing. In 1999 he began instructing at the Silva Bay Shipyard School on Gabriola Island and in 2003 became the school’s head instructor. Tony is now back working for himself as an artist, writer, part-time teacher, custom woodworker, and boatbuilder at his home shop tucked amongst the trees on Gabriola Island, BC.

BOB JORDAN

Bob Jordan was born into a fishing family in Vancouver. He fell in love with boats at an early age and was fascinated by diesel engines and engine rooms. His first job was at Namu Cannery before working for 10 years in shipyards and fishing on seine boats for B.C. Packers and Canadian Fishing Company.

In 1974 he convinced his wife, Kathy, to live aboard a converted tug, and start their business, West Wind Charter Ltd. Five years later a disastrous fire forced them to search for another vessel. When an old derelict tug with a seized engine was found; the challenge was on. Bob rebuilt the 19-ton Union diesel and replaced all the wiring and plumbing while the shipwrights repaired the hull. A year later, the classic 85 ft. tug, Union Jack, was born again. Their charter business succeeded and in 1987 they started Westwind Tugboat Adventures and decided to rebuild another retired vessel, m.v. Parry, with her antique Vivian engine, to offer unique cruises from Bella Bella to Alaska.

The couple retired in 2018 after 45 years and purchased a 1929 classic west coast seiner to rebuild. Merry Chase was completed 5 years later and allows them to continue cruising on the waters of B.C. and Alaska.

CAROL HASSE

Carole has been a sailmaker and owner of Hasse & Company, Port Townsend Sails, since 1978. She became a sailmaker from a love of cruising having sailed 35,000 offshore miles in northern and southern latitudes on boats varying in size from 25’ to 101’. Carole’s first love is wooden boats. She was a partner in the building of a 37’ Pete Culler schooner and has owner her 1959 Danish built Folkboat Lorraine since 1978. She has served on the board of the Northwest School of Boatbuilding and was a founding board member of the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Foundation and Festival. Well-known for her sail making and sail training teaching, she holds a USCG 110-ton near coastal license and is and ISPA instructor.

DAVID HUCHTHAUSEN

David Huchthausen is a Fulbright Scholar, former University Professor and internationally recognized artist. His sculpture is included in the permanent collections of 80 major museums worldwide. David is Past Commodore of the Pacific Northwest Fleet of the Classic Yacht Association as well as the Fleet Historian. He has owned and restored classic power boats for more than 25 years. He is an avid historian and maintains the largest collection of motor boating and yachting magazines in North America. His yacht Zanzibar was awarded “Best Overall Power Boat” and “Best Engine Room” at the 2003 Classic Boat Festival.

BENT JESPERSEN

Bent served his apprenticeship in Denmark as a shipwright and attended technical school there. He immigrated to Canada in 1955 and began working at Starship Yards in New Westminster on wooden commercial vessels. After moving to Vancouver Island, Bent worked in a production ship, building small cedar strip boats for Woodwards and Simpson Sears. He next worked for Port Alberni Marine on maintenance and building small wooden boats. In 1961, Bent moved to Sidney and went to work for Philbrook’s yard where he stayed for 13 years, rising to the position of foreman. In 1971, the family spent one year in Guana with the United Nations, teaching boat building. Bent returned to Philbrook’s where he stayed until 1974 when he left to set up his own yard. Over the years, Bent’s yard has earned an enviable reputation, particularly for their cold moulded boats.

TAD ROBERTS

Tad grew up in the BC coastal town of Pender Harbour, British Columbia, a logging and fishing hub, and always a haven for coastal characters. He studied at the Maine Maritime Academy (Yacht Design Institute) and then joined the Bruce King Design office in 1987 and spent 14 years there becoming principal designer, working on a diverse range of projects. In 2001, he returned to the West Coast, this time settling and opening an office in Silva Bay on Gabriola Island. He has continued to design and consult in both power and sail. Tad is instrumental in helping keep the working legacy of our coastal boat culture alive. His community activity on Gabriola Island include organizing the successful shipyard raid, which importantly helps engage youth in boats. He is presently working on a new project, Documenting Historic BC Boats, which includes a book and a web site, to help preserve our BC maritime heritage.
