HOWB 058 – Interview: Kaci Cronkhite, wooden boat lover, former wooden boat festival director, circumnavagator - 10.25.12

Today’s interview is with Kaci Cronkhite of Port Townsend. Kaci grew up on a cattle ranch in Oklahoma riding horses and waterskiing behind her family’s Chris Craft runabout. Her ancestors were dutch, and the first family emigrant to the US was a shipbuilder.

When Kaci was in her 30’s, she sailed for the first time and it felt eerily familiar to horseback riding – position, balance, wind in your hair. She was intrigued and hooked at the same time. A few years later she sailed Australia to Hawaii upwind with a friend (with 10 days “hove to”) and then was on to a 6 year circumnavigation which included training others to sail.

When Kaci arrived in Port Townsend in 2001, she was asked to become the Wooden Boat Festival Director. She dove in head first and for the next 10 years gave it 110%. In 2007 Kaci purchased her first wooden boat – a 28ʹ Danish Spidsgatter “Pax” built in 1936. Kaci is finishing a restoration on the boat and is writing a book about her history – Finding Pax – to be published shortly.
