Our featured speaker will be Jesse Wiegel, Race Boss at Northwest Maritime in Port Townsend.
Jesse has spent his career immersed in boats, from sailing the coastal waters of Maine as an Outward Bound instructor to crossing oceans aboard square riggers. His experience includes working on traditional schooners, caring for historic vessels, and teaching maritime skills on both coasts.
A Western Washington native, Jesse returned home after the pandemic to rejoin Northwest Maritime, where he now runs some of the region’s most ambitious adventure races.
Jesse will share an inside look at Northwest Maritime and its many projects, including hands-on youth and adult maritime education, the boatshop, and the beloved Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival.
As Race Boss, Jesse’s particular focus is on Northwest Maritime’s adventure races — Race to Alaska, SEVENTY48, and WA360. He also coordinates the Salish 100, a cruising event that brings small-boat enthusiasts together for a scenic and communal journey through Puget Sound.
Come ready with questions and conversation!
Shipwrecked Pirate Theme
We’re adding a little fun to the evening with a Shipwrecked Pirate theme. Costumes are encouraged!
Book Swap
Have a sailing novel, cruising guide, maritime book, or learn-to-sail book you’re ready to pass along? Bring it to the meeting and add it to the Book Swap table for another sailor to enjoy.
We look forward to seeing you for an evening of good food, great conversation, and TWSA community!
