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!

Brooklin Boat Yard's John Maxwell introduces us to the world of sailing yachts and the amazing team of designers, builders, movers, riggers, and mechanics who create and keep BBY's peerless fleet sailing and motoring. Listen after the outro for a snipped of Part Two. Learn how outdoor education makes for boat matchmaking, Brooklin's origins under famed designer/builder Joel White and it's current employee-owned culture of excellence.

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 theboatyshow@gmail.com, follow on Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube @theboatyshow, leave a comment on Spotify.

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. A gorgeous Cigarette 20 pocket speedboat competes with the finest example of a picnic boat yet to cross our headphones for Boat Of The Week. Chock full of practical information, it's the most Normal Boaty Show ever! Don't get used to it. Email theboatyshow@gmail.com, and thanks for listening!

Jeff shares maritime history from Iceland from settlement up through the Cod Wars. Steph reviews her experience aboard the Foot Ferry (Pedestrian Ferry System) in New York City. Two restored Starcraft, a Hinkley Picnic Boat, an electric catamaran, and a gorgeous Limestone 24 all compete for Boat Of The Week!
