John McDwell stands aboard his boat, Gypsy Woman, which won the boat decorating competition in the Deck the Docks event held at the Port of Port Townsend.

He won a free haul-out for his display, which means if he needs to have Gypsy Woman removed from the water, the port will do it once for free.

A haul-out normally costs more than $300.

Deck the Docks was held Thursday and featured hot chocolate, the Unexpected Brass Band, a community photo and other holiday staples.
