Among the thousands who visited, were quite a few builders of our kits; some of our earliest customers, some who recently completed beautiful boats, and some who are just beginning construction. We were so happy to see everyone.\u00a0 We even have show regulars who are still dreaming about building a PT 11 or a skiff, and they come every year to stroke the bright-work, listen to conversation, ask new questions. It is great to see familiar faces.<\/p>\n<p>Our booth photos;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-1936 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0028.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"156\" src=\"https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0028-300x156.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"ptwatercraft.com\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-1958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0028-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0028.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-1958'>\n\t\t\t\tWe were across from the paddle pool\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0029.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" src=\"https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0029-300x202.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"ptwatercraft.com\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-1959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0029-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0029.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-1959'>\n\t\t\t\tOur booth with WEST SYSTEM\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0025.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"230\" src=\"https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0025-300x230.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"ptwatercraft.com\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-1957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0025-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0025.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-1957'>\n\t\t\t\tPort Townsend watercraft in the WEST SYSTEM tent on the point near the Wee Nip.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0035.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" src=\"https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0035-300x202.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"ptwatercraft.com\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0035-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0035.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0037.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" src=\"https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0037-300x204.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"ptwatercraft.com\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-1962\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0037-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ptwatercraft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_0037.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-1962'>\n\t\t\t\tPT Watercraft booth\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?t=45&amp;v=_qQXEIcMks8\" target=\"_blank\">Schooner Martha<\/a> has returned to Port Townsend.
