HOWB 044 – Maritime Heritage Festival Interviews: Seth Vore – Wooden Boat Tours; Cody Thompson – Wooden Boat Refinishing - 07.19.12
This past weekend I attended the Annual Maritime Heritage Festival in St. Helens Oregon. It was a really fun
festival with a wide range of traditional yachts, small craft, vintage cruisers, the Steamboat Portland, a wooden
PT Boat 658, and other fun boats. I will be sharing several interviews I did at the festival over the next few
weeks and displaying some of my photos below.
The first interview is with Seth Vore of Portland Boat Tours. Seth had a vision to start a company that would
provide tours on the Columbia and Willamette Rivers near Portland in a traditionally built wooden boat. Seth
took his vision to Kickstarter.com and raised $6,300 to begin his business on Memorial day of this year. Best of
luck to you Seth and fam!
The second interview is with Cody Thompson, owner of NW Refinishing in Ridgefield, WA. When the
construction industry slowed down, Cody’s dad offered to mentor him with his 25 years of experience of
refinishing. Cody learned all the gory details of bright work and paint for wooden vessels and opened NW
Refinishing shortly after. Cody has done some phenomenal work on vintage Bridgedeck boats (he finished
Phanton - HOWB 034), wooden Chris Craft runabouts, a Hereshoff 12.5 sailboat and other fun stuff.
