I had the chance to visit Jack while on a trip to Melbourne in 2008. Due to a schedule, I couldn't take the time to travel to his shop... described to me by the eldest Blunt Boatworks descendant as "one of the last of its kind in Australia." 

Take time this year to meet, in person, the elders of our wooden boat world. Their skill, their values, the work ethic, their blend of hand and heart is important to carry forward into the next generation.  We will remember Jack among other wooden boat people who pass on this year at the Memorial Bell Toll on Sunday morning during Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival September 11, 2009.

Here's a video of Jack Pompei and his boats.

Hi Eric.

You're in wonderful territory for tallship sailing!  In Victoria, there are both Pacific Grace and Pacific Swift.  I've met the folks on Pacific Grace and really enjoyed them.  They just returned this fall from a trans Pacific tour and are preparing to build a new tallship on VI. In Port Townsend, there's a wonderful tallship called Adventuress that sails out of Port Townsend and up into the San Juans in the summers.  Like the two boats in Canada, Adventuress is owned and maintained by a non profit and provides sail training experiences.  Their website is www.soundexp.org.   A few other boats come to mind depending on the specifics you are most interested in.  Schooner Martha, SSS Odyssey, Schooner Zodiac and Lady Washington or Hawaiian Chieftain.  Google around for their websites and if you have other questions, I'm happy to help again.
