The Center for Wooden Boats 17th Annual Norm Blanchard W.O.O.D Regatta
Join us September 24 for the 17th Annual Norm Blanchard W.O.O.D. Regatta!
The Center for Wooden Boats’ 17th 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.
The Norm Blanchard W.O.O.D. Regatta is open to all wooden boats - from El Toros to large racer cruisers. We also welcome the non-wood versions of traditional wood one-designs (e.g. Lightnings, Thunderbirds, San Juans, El Toros) .
Separate prizes will be awarded for small boats, large boats, and classic plastic boats.
