The original events were historically held on south Fidalgo Island and named after Pull and Be Damed Road in the local area.
Anyone who ventured out to Seafarers’ found all sorts of small craft and their owners, including gigs, whitehalls, kayaks, skin-on-frame boats, various sailing craft and more. More than 40 boats spent much of the day sailing in around the area outside Cap Sante Marina.
The event was sponsored by the Anacortes Small Boat Center, the Port of Anacortes, The Old Anacortes Rowing and Sailing Society (OARS) and The Hole in the Wall Paddling Club.
