Dan Pence modified a hull designed by Pat Spurlock that was originally designed for steam launch use. He launched her in Portland OR in 1998. Her design repeats a 1920's ethic. She's powered by Lithium-Ion batteries which give her a range of 55 miles. She has a small sail that can be set on her forecabn mast. For more, see her Facebook page, here: www.facebook.com/EVGinger/

"Original hull designed and built by Pat Spurlock to serve as a plug, out of which came the mold for the Elliott Bay Steam launch. Dan Pence radically altered the low sleek hull despite Mr Spurlocks objections. It was built up and over to become a fake 1920’s raised deck cruiser. Powered by an ancient electric forklift motor of 2 kw driving an 8 to 1 reduction gear to a 20” x 25” propellor. Electricity is stored in 6 Li-Ion modules made by InerDel. Cruising range is 50 miles upwind, unlimited downwind using a small sail rig. Reserve power is supplied by a tow behind generator dinghy. Inside Ginger is an antique cast iron wood stove, traditional helm station, one wide berth under the bow, and seating for five in the salon. Ginger was built for a young family of four. Today, as the kids are grown, she serves an intimate escape vehicle for two."

The first-ever SALISH 100, June 22-28, 2019, was a small-boat cruise running the length of Puget Sound--100 nautical miles from Olympia to Port Townsend, Washington, and including more than 100 watercraft ranging from Stand-Up Paddleboards to kayaks, rowing boats to pocket-cruising sailboats, and about 15 larger support boats, otherwise known as Motherships.

Organized by the Port Townsend Pocket Yachters group, the SALISH 100 was commercially sponsored by Duckworks Boat Builder's Supply of Port Townsend. Co-sponsors included the Northwest Maritime Center, the Puget Sound chapter of the Traditional Small Craft Association (TSCA), Kingston Mercantile & Marine, The Artful Sailor, Small Craft Advisor magazine, and the Gig Harbor Boat Shop.

Planned overnight stops along the route included Henderson Cove just east of Olympia WA, Penrose Point Marine State Park, Gig Harbor, Blake Island Marine State Park, the Port of Kingston, and Mats Mats Bay before the final destination of Port Townsend.

Boaters came in from all over North America to participate in the event, which promised to be the largest organized small-boat cruise in North America, if not the world.

The cruise was repeated in 2021 after the pandemic forced cancellation of the 202 cruise, and will be scheduled again in July, 2022.

Registration was free, and advance registration is being accepted beginning December 1st, 2021 for the 2022 SALISH 100 cruise. To add your name to the contact list for 2019 SALISH 100 updates, or to register for 2022, please email organizer Marty Loken at Norseboater22-at-mail.com (replace”-a- with the ampersand @!
