Wonder what a well-run boat yard is like? Go on this audio tour of what it takes to design, build, and service the coolest sail and powerboats you can imagine. John Maxwell leads us on a journey through every corner of employee-owned Brooklin Boat Yard: the rigging deck, slipway, varnish shop, repair carpentry, paint, small boat storage, restoration sheds, and the five story new-build shop where master designers and craftsmen create stunningly beautiful custom one-off yachts to ninety feet and beyond.

A wonderful conversation about life through rowing with Havilah Hawkins: schooner captain, boat designer and builder, youth sailing educator, master shipwright, and zen bottom paint scraper extraordinaire. Second in our multi-part series from Brooklin Boat Yard in Brooklin, Maine. This conversation happened spontaneously in the midst of John Maxwell's amazing tour. We came around the stern of a shapely classic daysailer in the shop and Havilah was kind enough to pause his work and chat. Thank you for listening!

500 miles in an open 24 foot center console two years in a row? In 2022 Jeff and his son traveled the coast of New Jersey, into New York Harbor, up the Hudson, through the New York State Barge Canal System to Lake Ontario, across an inland sea to the Saint Lawrence River. In 2023, they started at the intersection of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers and went through Lake Champlain into Quebec, up the Saint Lawrence to Montreal, through the massive commercial locks to the Thousand Islands. Epic adventures, and way more accessible than you think. Email us at [email protected], follow on Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube @theboatyshow, leave a comment on Spotify. Thanks for listening!

Winterization, decommissioning, blah blah whatever you call it we run down all the fall maintenance. All the oils, self-healing theories, schmutz removal and everybody's favorite: care for the weakest link in boating, the friggin battery.

Chock full of practical information, it's the most Normal Boaty Show ever! Don't get used to it. Email [email protected], and thanks for listening!

Þorsteinn Bragi Jónínuson, Marine Engineer with Rafnar Marine in Reykjavik, Iceland takes us on a sea trial of the Rafnar 1100 in her home waters. The most capable high speed small boat we've ever been on. In all seriousness, this boat is a revelation. Invented and designed in Iceland to safely navigate the North Atlantic, she can handle any other water and is now built in Greece, Turkey, the UK, and the US. She safely crossed the North Atlantic in 6 meter / twenty foot waves! Listen for the full story, send us your questions, tell us what you think: comment on Spotify, email [email protected], Instagram/Facebook @theboatyshow.
