HOWB 046 – Jeff Sayler, Wooden Boat Builder and Restorer; Bruce Hebler and Linda Wolf, Proud Owners 1932 Wooden Gillnet Boat Interviews - 08.02.12
On July 15th, I attended the Annual Maritime Heritage Festival in St. Helens Oregon. It was a really fun festival
with a wide range of traditional vessels of all sizes and shapes including the Steamboat Portland, a wooden PT
Boat 658, and other fun boats. This is a really fun show that I recommend you put on your calendar for next
July! Two of the interviews I did that day are included in this podcast.
The first interview is with Jeff Sayler of Firehouse Boatworks in Portland, OR. Jeff attended a wooden boat
program in Maine as a young lad and from there steadily developed his wooden boat building and restoration
business. Jeff is one creative dude whose resume includes building a bamboo cargo bike,
restoring the Kaleta (HOWB 034) and other fun stuff.
The second interview is with Bruce Hebler and Linda Wolf of Portland, OR. Bruce and Linda have owned the
M.S. Wolfe – a ’28 Gillnet wooden boat built in 1932 – for more than 2 decades. They have completely rebuilt
her from the garboard up and she is one beautiful rig. Listen to the podcast to hear the history of how these
gillnet boats were used on the Columbia River for several decades not only for fishing but for dating,
transportation, and other life activities.
