HOWB 037 – 2012 Olympia Wooden Boat Fair – Part 2: Bob Peck and Hal Van Gilder - 05.31.12
This week is a continuation of last week’s interviews that I did at the 33rd annual Olympia Wooden Boat Fair in
Olympia, WA. The first interview is with Hal Van Gilder, president of the Olympia Wooden Boat Association.
Hal grew up boating and his dad built a 39ʹ wooden cabin cruiser in 1932 which Hal owns and maintains to this
day. This boat is “federally registered” due to some past history and supposed mishaps in international waters –
listen to the full story on the interview.
The second interview is with Bob Peck, president of the South Sound Maritime Heritage Association. Bob has
been named 2012 Maritime Person of the Year by the Olympia Wooden Boat Association. Bob has built 18
boats as a hobbyist over the last 50 years. He brought his 1/4 scale East Coast Harbor Tug to the Fair this year. This is one talented dude who has built boats of all sizes, shapes and construction methods.
