“Westward in the 21st Century” – Premiere

Published by Hugh at 5:56 pm under Ship's Log

A documentary on the yacht Westward’s remarkable history has been in the works for the past few years; now complete, the film provides a wonderful record of Westward’s extraordinary provenance, history & accomplishments over the 85 years since her launching in 1924.

The “Premier” of “Westward in the 21st Century” has been set for March 19th, 2009 in Seattle as a benefit for Seattle’s Center for Wooden Boats. View the Announcement Here.  The announcement includes a delightful clip from the film, viewed by “clicking” on the antique photo of Westward. 

A full description of the film can be found at the Producer’s website:  http://www.johnsabella.com/detail.lasso?title=50100 ——where those unable to attend the March 19th Premier can order a copy of the DVD.

We hope that you will join us, and Westward, on March 19th at the Naval Armory on Lake Union.

Hugh Reilly
