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. Follow @theboatyshow on social media, email theboatyshow@gmail.com.  Thanks 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 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.

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 theboatyshow@gmail.com, Instagram/Facebook @theboatyshow.

We catch up with Audrey Boerson of Black Sheep Racing in the Netherlands after her amazing competition at the 138th annual Holland Beker Regatta.  She won silver in the OPEN WEIGHT women's single as a lightweight limited to 135lbs.  She competed four times in one day and nearly won the lightweight single before she abruptly exited her boat.  Next up? World Cup III in Poland UPDATE - Audrey goes straight to the final Saturday 6/15 after winning her heat! US Rowing does NOT support sculling athletes like Audrey and her teammates at Black Sheep Racing. Please make a donation to support her and her teamates international travel and competition: https://www.gofundme.com/f/2024-summer-racing?qid=c2e384a5e24be8e9e858f8cef6aae30d Next Race - World Cup III in Poland:  https://worldrowing.com/event/2024-world-rowing-cup-iii/ The Holland Beker Regatta: https://hollandbeker.nl/regatta/ On August 14, 1886, a group of sporting gentlemen gathered in the Amsterdam with the purpose of establishing the “Committee for the Championships of the Netherlands for gentlemen amateurs in single scull outriggers”. The word “amateur” differentiated men who were paid to row or steer the boat and gentlemen who rowed for pleasure. The Committee allowed those from the gentlemen amateur group to participate in the annual regatta in the men's single scull. On September 25, 1886, the first regatta took place. Until 1912 the regatta was known as the International Dutch Open Single Sculling Championships. The regatta maintained wide international renown. In 1931 the regatta was moved from the river Amstel to the temporary race course in Sloten, near Amsterdam, until it found its present site at the brand new Bosbaan in 1937. During the eighties, the Holland Beker experienced competition from a growing number of international regattas, which made it difficult to attract the top international rowers. After some German victories, several Dutch victories were celebrated in the late eighties and early nineties. There is a gap in the regatta's history in the years 2001 and 2002. Only after the refurbishment of the Bosbaan race course in 2003 did the Holland Beker Regatta Association start anew. The organisation now includes the Royal Maas Yacht Club Rotterdam – replacing the Royal Netherlands Yacht Club as the organising group in 1994-, the Amsterdam Student Rowing Club Skøll and the Royal Dutch Rowing Association. In 2004 the name of the regatta changed back to the Koninklijke Holland Beker. As Holland's most renowned international regatta, the Koninklijke Holland Beker has hosted the World Rowing Cup III in 2019. Top rowers from countries around the world have travelled to Rotterdam to compete, which made the event a great success.

Steph reports live from the houseboat in a thunderstorm as a mama merganzer catches a fish for her babies, and we review an honest to pete narrowboat cookbook. It's better than it sounds. Jeff recaps a trip to Sarasota FL and a sea life tour of the bay complete with mermaids. Or manatees.  Five boats of the week contend for the title, two sweep us off our feet.  Post-outro shout out to Christine at the Old Salty Dog on City Island in Saraasota F. L. A! Email your boat of the week nomination, questions, and eel recipes to theboatyshow@gmail.com.  Follow along on Insta and Facebook @theboatyshow. New show every Wednesday, stay floaty!

Steph is sick, we wish her well, and reliever Missy steps up to the microphone.  Up front? Corrections and an apology for blatant nepotism and self-dealing. We discuss Outlander, boat scents or lack thereof, dogs on boats, a stop by the OPP, Missy's attraction to big block boat motor startups. We do a rundown of the artists we love and support, who now include April "AP" Davis aka Pinkietoons and debut author Will Sterling with his book Fame By Misadventure.  Check them out!  Two very different boats contend for Boat Of The Week - a modern houseboat and a classic wooden sailing yacht.  Please like, subscribe, review, follow on instagram and facebook @theboatyshow, and email us your Boat Of The Week nominations at theboatyshow@gmail.com.  Thanks for listening!

Celebrate 2000 downloads with a bonus travelogue of our boat trip around the island of Manhattan, thanks to Rich and Julia!  We start in Port Washington on Long Island, cruise past Rikers Island to the East River, down to Brooklyn to pick up our crew.  A counterclockwise course took us back up the East River, into the Harlem River, around the top of the island into the Hudson. Down along Harlem to the West Side, under the George Washington bridge, along the West Side highway, past the municipal piers to Lower Manhattan.  Around the tip next to the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, under the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges and back up the East River and home.  We lucked out with the weather, calm, mostly sunny, perfect temperature.  Thank you again to our hosts!  Email us at theboatyshow@gmail.com, follow on Instagram @theboatyshow, like, subscribe, leave a review, and most importantly come back and listen every Wednesday! Thanks so much.
