    Just love the amazing range of wooden boat stories and experience. A treasure trove of boat wisdom, information and inspiration. The fact they are rereleased recordings from some years ago does not detract from the joy of listening.

  • Excellent info and entertaining even if you’re not a Wooden Boat expert

    I’m getting ready to move to Seattle soon, and this podcast has been an incredible resource for me because I don’t know how to sail (yet), but through the podcast I’ve been able to learn MUCH more about the SCAMP Sailboat and other helpful resources for starting my sailing journey! Glad you’re back, Dan!
