What a great story, proving again that boats are really about people and places.
Burke Horner says:
I can’t think of a nicer way to honor one’s passed father by banding with his friends of sailing and building a beautiful mobile tribute to his memory, It was a heartfelt way of completing a task with an aura of what and who he loved most, his family!
Joseph Wl Haley III says:
I love you and the boat. But too old for either. But thanks for the sail on site.
Derrick Burry says:

A wonderful story and I especially liked the detail shown during the construction of the boat, a hats off to all the volunteers and woodworkers who worked on the boat.
Drew Britten says:
Wonderful video! I had the pleasure of meeting Shelby at the Port Townsend Pocket-Palooza, just days after she finished the Salish 100 in Big Wave Dave. A wonderful young woman and quite patient with all my questions about the boat and her journey. The Center for Wooden Boats is lucky to have her! I also lost my father just before turning 30, so this story is especially poignant for me.
Steve Steelman says:
Beautiful.
If there was anything in that short film that was not absolutely beautiful, praise be to God, I missed it.
Brenda A Graham says:
Very admirable and touching.
Robert Kunzig says:
That has to be the best way to remember and “feel” your dad. Wonderful job to one and all making a beautiful boat. Very best wishes to you and your mom – R
Tim Langley says:
Thank you Shelby for so beautifully opening your heart to us. It is inspiring to reflect on the qualities of your father that evokes such love from a daughter and enthusiasm from friends. Your boat is a worthy showcase for Eric Hvalsoe’s art, and the video, another reminder of the juice in keeping life simple. Go well.
David Menely says:
This is a beautiful story in every way. I think you have done your father proud.
Arthur Winer says:
Warms the heart to hear a story like this one. Congratulations to Shelby for her perseverance and spirit and for the way she chose to honor her Dad.
