Blue Peter Fan-tail Yacht at the Sail-by

The Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival ends with a “sail-by” where many boats of all kinds come out from the docks and show off. Here we can see: The 68 ft. schooner Suva which was built in Hong Kong in 1925. A sloop I do not know, the 51 ft yawl Pacifica that was built in 1947, and Blue Peter yacht. The 96 ft M/V Blue Peter, is a classic fan-tail yacht built expressly for touring and sightseeing in the Pacific Northwest. Launched in 1928 from Lake Union Dry-dock in Seattle, she is a beautiful example of the finest in yacht design and construction of her day. She has accommodations for eight overnight guests in five separate staterooms. The bright salon features a wood burning fireplace, cozy seating and enhanced wifi. Blue Peter is named after a signal flag that was used by ships to indicate that they were getting ready to depart.

The schooner Suva was originally designed as a gaff-rigged schooner. In 1960, Suva was re-rigged as a staysail schooner. She is available for charter out of Port Townsend, WA. schoonersuva.org/about-suva/

The 51 ft yawl Pacifica (7019) was built in 1947. She has raced in most of the major racing events in the USA and has sailed over 100,000 mile on her own. In 2014 she moved permanently from San Diego to Port Townsend.
