HOWB 038 – 2012 Pocket Yacht Palooza Interviews: Marty Loken, Lee Bjorkland, Pete Leenhouts - 06.07.12
This week’s show is 3 interviews I did while at the 1st Annual Port Townsend Pocket Yacht Palooza in May.
First up is Marty Loken of the Island Boat Shop in Nordland, WA. Marty is one passionate guy and shares his
thoughts on the first Palooza, his personal boats, and what’s happening at his boat shop these days.
The second interview is with Lee Bjorklund. Lee talks about his sloop OPUS – an 18.5ʹ Wee Seal MK II design
by Iain Oughtred. This is a gorgeous lapstrake double ended sloop rig he sails in Puget Sound. Lee also talks
about the the Dragon Boat Racing he does thru the Seattle Flying Dragon club. These boats are 42ʹ long, hold 20
paddlers, a steersman and drummer, and can pull a water skier (for a short distance).
The final interview is with Pete Leenhouts of the NW School of Wooden Boat Building. Pete is the interim
director at the school, is building a Bolger Clam Skiff, and talks about his 3 decades in the Navy aboard wooden
mine sweeping boats.
