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.
Who Can Participate:
- Open to all wooden boats – from El Toros to large racer cruisers
- Non-wood versions of traditional wood one-designs (e.g. Lightnings, Thunderbirds, San Juans, El Toros)
Separate prizes are awarded for small boats, large boats, and classic plastic boats.
