Good Jibes #186: Jennifer Keil on Documenting Your Family Sailing History
In this week’s Good Jibes we chat with Jennifer Keil about preserving your family sailing memories so they can be passed down from generation to generation — and also enjoyed by sailing friends. Jennifer is an archivist and the co-founder of 70 Degrees who archives, preserves, and exhibits your narrative.
Tune in as Jennifer shares with Good Jibes host Ryan Foland the history of sailing in California, how 70 Degrees’ archiving process works, tales from documenting West Coast sailing history, how to document your own family sailing history, and the value of your boat’s history when it’s time for her to change hands.
Here’s a sample of what you’ll hear in this episode:
- Why temperature is important for archiving
- How Newport got its name
- How to start documenting and archiving your sailing histories
- Ask about the “boring” little things — like provisions!
- How to gather boat history from former owners
