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.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.TED KNOWLES
Ted is a highly respected West Coast boat builder based in Sidney. He was mentored by the legendary Frank Fredette and worked for many years with Peter London. He is an instructor with the Quadrant Marine Apprenticeship program. Ted has built and restored a wide variety of West Coast craft including both work and pleasure boats. He is particularly well regarded for his intimate knowledge and understanding of hydrolysis and corrosion in the marine environment.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.CLASSIC BOAT FESTIVAL TROPHIES AND AWARDS
