HOWB 097 – Interview | Scott Sprague, Bainbridge Island Wooden Boat Designer and Builder - 07.25.13
Today’s podcast is an interview with Scott Sprague of Bainbridge Island. I met Scott at the 2013 Bainbridge
Island Wooden Boat Festival while he was relaxing on the beautiful 42ʹ double ended sloop – Tumblehome – he
designed and built. We had a great time talking shop and I learned what a rotating wing spar is :).
Scott grew up on Bainbridge Island and from a very tender age he was sailing his parents gaff rigged sloop and
wooded schooner around Puget Sound and into Canada. During high school he started designing boats and after
graduating, he purchased a fishing boat hull and converted it to a 29ʹ wishbone ketch which he lived aboard for 7 years.
Scott was introduced to his dad’s good friend, renowned Northwest boat designer William Garden, as a youth
and had the privilege of being mentored by Garden on vessel design. Between 1981 and 1989 Scott designed
and built a very unique sloop – Tumblehome.
