This week we record live in a Whaler! Missy co-hosts while Steph is out of town helping a friend. We recap on a big part of what makes boating special - clean water. Missy weighs in on The Oil Exclusion and the US Environmental Protection Agency's Leaking Underground Storage Tank (yes, L.U.S.T) program. Jeff seeks forgiveness for dissing Whalers, and a nice little Boat Of The Week with the very first boat kiddie ride entry! Keep in touch, thanks for listening, you're the best!

We need clean water for boats! Get wise on water pollution and the Gowanus Canal toxic waste cleanup from a Superfund expert who wishes to remain anonymous. We learn how our rivers, lakes, streams, and bays in the US went from industrial dumping grounds and sewars to the beautiful places we boat today, and how the worst of the polluted sites from hundreds of years ago got cleaned up through public private collaboration. Like the easter egg after the outro? Check out Mac Glocky on YouTube, brilliant. New merch available at https://www.stickermule.com/theboatyshow check us out on YouTube @theboatyshow. Thanks for listening!

This is a good one. From the Gowanus Canal to Rockaway beaches, Jamaica Bay to Red Hook, Stephan von Muehlen takes us along the Brooklyn and Queens waterfront. Stephan has lived, worked, and loved the hidden littoral spaces of New York City for over twenty years. Learn about a waterborne art and activist community that plays hard and works harder to keep Brooklyn grounded and show people that they don't have to go to the Hamptons to enjoy the water. We're joined by Stephan's wife and our longtime friend Anna who shares her own view and experiences from a life on the water. Stephan believes in making stuff in Brooklyn, where he leads a company that builds pour-over coffee machines a block away from the Gowanus Canal. Check out Stephan's company www.poursteady.com and enjoy the show! Thanks so much for listening, look for video of the episode on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@TheBoatyShow.

Hi Friends! Final episode from our first visit to Brooklin Boat Yard: a tour of the winter storage sheds where so many cool boats gather for their long winter's nap. John and Sarah Maxwell take us through a collection of saling and motor yachts big and small, old and new. We go through two big barns, you'll hear the gravel floor crunching under our feet as John tells us the story of classic sailing yachts and restored lobster boats. We climb aboard two stunning fifty foot motor yachts, including SYNTAX, launched by BBY just this past summer. Steph will rejoin soon, in the meantime hope you enjoy this format! Thank you so much for listening!

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!

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!
